Quethiock's wall cleaning & softwash specialists

Local context that changes the job

We get more calls about wall cleaning & softwash in Quethiock than almost anywhere else we cover. Small parish east of Liskeard with a well-known Celtic cross, which shapes how wall cleaning & softwash on granite and painted render and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL14.

Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts. We're frequently in and around PL14, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect. We batch Quethiock bookings with menheniot runs along local lanes.

Working-at-height planning is done before the visit, so the right access equipment arrives with the crew. We never sub-contract out — the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does the job. Reviews are on Google, Facebook and Checkatrade — a mix that makes it harder to game the numbers. If your neighbour books at the same time we drop the callout portion — genuinely worth mentioning next door. Winter bookings are quieter, so lead times drop from two weeks to a few days between November and February. Ridge tile re-bedding and any other small remedial work is quoted separately, never bundled into the wash price. Windows are usually the entry-point job for new customers, and everything else follows on from that first visit. The vac pole extends to forty feet which covers the vast majority of domestic three-storey gutter work. For the odd fourth-storey house we bring a taller pole in from a neighbour's yard, still no scaffold needed. Pressure washing patios always finishes with a lawn edge tidy so borders don't end up sanded. Downpipe inlets are water-tested before we leave, not just visually checked. Every job carries a written scope, a written price and a written finish standard — no ambiguity. The rig gets rinsed after every job so cross-contamination between customers isn't ever a factor. Stone plinths get a rinse-only pass at the end of every wall softwash, no product left on stone. Every softwash job has a pre-clean pH check on the render surface to keep dilution honest.
