Wall Cleaning & Softwash on a coastal village property in Seaton, Cornwall

Cornwall · PL11

Local wall cleaning & softwash across Seaton

Seaton weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and wall cleaning & softwash is usually the first thing to suffer. Sea air keeps algae growth wetter for longer, which is why north-facing walls darken so quickly.

How we'd approach this in Seaton

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render and pebbledash - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on coastal village properties in PL11
  3. 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of coastal village gardens before any product goes up
  4. 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on coastal village stock in Seaton
  5. 5Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted render and pebbledash

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Seaton properties we treat have painted render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted render and pebbledash elevation in Seaton

  • Method

    Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across seafront bungalows and modern detached

  • Method

    Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer coastal village properties around PL11

  • Method

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

Heavy north-side algae softwashed off without touching the painted stone detailing.

Lime-rendered townhouse
