Where it usually starts in Stonehouse

  • Streaking down painted stucco and limestone that's worse on the Devonport-facing elevation than the rest of the house
  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Stonehouse's exposed setting
  • Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Stonehouse on urban terrace stock
  • Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted stucco and limestone
  • Pollution film thickened over years of urban terrace city air around PL1

The method that suits Stonehouse

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for painted stucco and limestone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of urban terrace gardens before any product goes up
  3. 3Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces
  4. 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on urban terrace stock in Stonehouse
  5. 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted stucco and limestone
