Why we built a Whitchurch page for wall cleaning & softwash
Most wall cleaning & softwash jobs we book in Whitchurch come from owners who've put it off one winter too long. Southern residential edge of Tavistock, which shapes how wall cleaning & softwash on granite and painted render and natural slate actually plays out around PL19.
Mature trees mean more shade, more sap and more north-facing growth on the elevations that never dry out. If you can see Tavistock from the end of your road, we cover you. We batch Whitchurch bookings with tavistock runs along local lanes off A386.
Two of us live within twenty minutes of the yard, which is why booking flexibility is easier than customers expect. There's no minimum charge to look at a job — we'll walk around it, quote it and leave the ball with you. Landlords with multiple properties get a single monthly invoice covering every visit, not one per address. The kit gets pressure-tested weekly, which is boring but it's why we haven't had a rig failure on a customer job. The vac pole extends to forty feet which covers the vast majority of domestic three-storey gutter work. The rig gets rinsed after every job so cross-contamination between customers isn't ever a factor. Roof access ladders are inspected each morning and swapped out at the first sign of wear. Waste from moss removal gets bagged, weighed and taken to a licensed green-waste facility. First-visit customers get a written surface report at no cost, whether they book more work or not. Communication defaults to WhatsApp because photo threads keep quotes and outcomes in one place. Every job sheet lists the crew, the start time, the finish time and the litres of water used. The van livery is deliberately low-key because half the neighbours have booked us the following month. For solar-panel arrays the panel owner's approach method takes precedence over ours, always. If a re-clean is needed we book it in rather than debating who was right about the surface. Materials data sheets are available on request for any product we use on any of our work.

- Black biofilm on granite and painted render where the prevailing wind blows in off Southern residential edge of Tavistock - on granite and painted render - the reason we keep this round on a tight schedule.
- Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on Edwardian villas and 1930s detached - across natural slate - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons.

How the job would run on your Whitchurch property
- 1Softwash strength dialled for granite and painted render - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render (across natural slate - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons).
- 2Two passes on the Tavistock-facing elevation where exposed weather drives the worst staining (on Edwardian villas stock - typically half a day, sometimes a full day if access is tight).
- 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of leafy suburb gardens before any product goes up (at exposed exposure - the reason we send photos on completion rather than invoice cold).
- 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in Edwardian villas and 1930s detached (in the West Devon Borough Council patch - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one).
- 5Working top-down on the Tavistock-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go (13.2 miles from PL3 - a job where getting the order right matters more than the products).
