If the wall cleaning & softwash at your St Neot property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Lichen growth in particular is heavier here than almost anywhere else we cover — and it's the slowest to come back once treated.

Materials & methods we'd use here
Most St Neot properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for granite and painted render - never neat on moorland village stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your granite and painted render elevation in St Neot
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across granite cottages and farmhouses
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on moorland village terraces - no rotary
Where it usually starts in St Neot
- Streaking down granite and painted render that's worse on the St Cleer-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Black biofilm on granite and painted render where the prevailing wind blows in off Bodmin Moor village on the St Neot river with a famous medieval church
- Surface lichen on the south side of granite and painted render - common on moorland village stock in PL14
- Window-cill streaks running down the front of granite and painted render after rainwater pools
- Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto granite and painted render
