What's actually different about Upton Cross
By the time wall cleaning & softwash becomes obvious from the road in Upton Cross, it has usually been quietly building for two seasons. On the south-east edge of Bodmin Moor above Liskeard, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out.
Lichen growth in particular is heavier here than almost anywhere else we cover — and it's the slowest to come back once treated. If you can see Liskeard from the end of your road, we cover you.

How the job would run on your Upton Cross property
- 1Softwash strength dialled for granite and lime render - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Two passes on the Liskeard-facing elevation where very-exposed weather drives the worst staining
- 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on moorland village properties in PL14
- 4Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of moorland village gardens before any product goes up
- 5Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in granite cottages and moorland farmhouses
