Turnchapel wall cleaning & softwash, done properly
If the wall cleaning & softwash at your Turnchapel property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Slate, stone and lime render all want a softer hand than the standard pressure wash.

How we'd approach this in Turnchapel
- 1Two passes on the Hooe-facing elevation where very-exposed weather drives the worst staining
- 2Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in fishermen's cottages and waterfront terraces
- 3Working top-down on the Hooe-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on estuary village stock in Turnchapel
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and limestone
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Turnchapel properties we treat have painted render and limestone walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for painted render and limestone - never neat on estuary village stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted render and limestone elevation in Turnchapel
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across fishermen's cottages and waterfront terraces
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on estuary village terraces - no rotary
