Plymouth City Centre wall cleaning & softwash, done properly
Plymouth City Centre weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and wall cleaning & softwash is usually the first thing to suffer. Tight access, shared elevations and high footfall make the right method matter as much as the right product.

- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer city centre properties around PL1

Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Plymouth City Centre stock
