Why Thurlestone matters for this kind of work

Plenty of Thurlestone properties were never designed with regular wall cleaning & softwash in mind, which is exactly why it matters. Coastal village facing the arched Thurlestone Rock, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out.

Bungalows take the worst of it because there's nowhere for water to go but the wall itself. We're frequently in and around TQ7, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

Common issues we see in Thurlestone

  • Streaking down painted render, cob and stone that's worse on the Malborough-facing elevation than the rest of the house
  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Thurlestone's very-exposed setting
  • Black biofilm on painted render, cob and stone where the prevailing wind blows in off Coastal village facing the arched Thurlestone Rock
  • Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on thatched cottages and 1930s villas
  • Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted render, cob and stone after rainwater pools

The method that suits Thurlestone

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render, cob and stone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on coastal village properties in TQ7
  3. 3Working top-down on the Malborough-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
  4. 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted render, cob and stone
  5. 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render, cob and stone
