Square-planned Dartmoor-fringe village north of the A38, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Crews are based 11 miles away in PL3, so callouts to Ugborough are short.
What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Two passes on the Ivybridge-facing elevation where exposed weather drives the worst staining
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on rural village properties in PL21
- 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of rural village gardens before any product goes up
- 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses
- 5Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted render and Dartmoor granite
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Ugborough properties we treat have painted render and Dartmoor granite 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 Dartmoor granite - never neat on rural village stock
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on rural village terraces - no rotary
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Ugborough stock
What usually triggers the call in Ugborough
- Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Ugborough's exposed setting
- Render staining at the plinth on rural village properties along the A3121
- Surface lichen on the south side of painted render and Dartmoor granite - common on rural village stock in PL21
- Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses
- Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted render and Dartmoor granite after rainwater pools
