Do you treat historic lime render?

Yes, with a lower-strength biocide and very gentle rinse. We don't pressure wash lime ever.

A faint chlorine note for a few hours, then nothing. Borders and lawns are unaffected once rinsed.

Can you do exposed coastal elevations?

Yes — they actually benefit most from a regular softwash because salt and algae compound on one another.

What about my plants?

Borders are wetted before any biocide goes near them and rinsed down afterwards. Anything delicate gets covered.

Is softwash safe on K-Rend and silicone render?

Yes — and in fact softwash is the manufacturer-recommended approach. We use a controlled biocide and a low-volume rinse so the silicone film stays intact.

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
2Two passes on the Tavistock-facing elevation where exposed weather drives the worst staining
3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of leafy suburb gardens before any product goes up
4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in Edwardian villas and 1930s detached
5Working top-down on the Tavistock-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
