Typical problems on North Hill properties
- Streaking down painted render and stone that's worse on the Mutley-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to North Hill's moderate setting
- Discolouration where downpipes meet painted render and stone - near-universal on urban terrace properties this far from PL3
- Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from North Hill on urban terrace stock
- Pollution film thickened over years of urban terrace city air around PL4

- 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL4
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on urban terrace stock in North Hill
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and stone
