Wall Cleaning & Softwash - covering Southway and the PL6 area
If the wall cleaning & softwash at your Southway property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Estate homes share elevations with neighbours, so an uneven clean stands out from the moment you turn into the close.

How we'd approach this in Southway
- 1Softwash strength dialled for render and pebbledash - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of modern estate gardens before any product goes up
- 3Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on modern estate stock in Southway
- 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on render and pebbledash
- 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on 1960s–70s semis and post-war estates
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Southway properties we treat have render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for render and pebbledash - never neat on modern estate stock
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across 1960s–70s semis and post-war estates
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on modern estate terraces - no rotary
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Southway stock
