Sits on Roborough Down at the gateway to Dartmoor, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL20, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.
What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on moorland village properties in PL20
- 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of moorland village gardens before any product goes up
- 3Working top-down on the Tavistock-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on moorland village stock in Yelverton
- 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on granite cottages and 1930s detached
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Yelverton properties we treat have granite with painted render walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your granite with painted render elevation in Yelverton
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across granite cottages and 1930s detached
- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer moorland village properties around PL20
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Yelverton stock
