What's actually different about Polperro
By the time wall cleaning & softwash becomes obvious from the road in Polperro, it has usually been quietly building for two seasons. Working harbour village in a tight Cornish combe, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out.
Holiday-let owners need a clean that turns the property around fast between changeovers. Working out of PL13 we're rarely more than 22.4 miles from a Polperro job.
Typical problems on Polperro properties
- Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Polperro's very-exposed setting
- Render staining at the plinth on harbour town properties along the A387
- Surface lichen on the south side of painted lime render and stone - common on harbour town stock in PL13
- Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Polperro on harbour town stock
- Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted lime render and stone
How the job would run on your Polperro property
- 1Softwash strength dialled for painted lime render and stone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Two passes on the Looe-facing elevation where very-exposed weather drives the worst staining
- 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on harbour town properties in PL13
- 4Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of harbour town gardens before any product goes up
- 5Working top-down on the Looe-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
