What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Softwash strength dialled for render and pebbledash - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL5
- 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of urban terrace gardens before any product goes up
- 4Working top-down on the Kings Tamerton-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on 1930s semis and Victorian terraces near the church
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most St Budeaux properties we treat have render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate 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 urban terrace stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your render and pebbledash elevation in St Budeaux
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across 1930s semis and Victorian terraces near the church
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older St Budeaux stock
Where it usually starts in St Budeaux
- Streaking down render and pebbledash that's worse on the Kings Tamerton-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on 1930s semis and Victorian terraces near the church
- Surface lichen on the south side of render and pebbledash - common on urban terrace stock in PL5
