What's actually different about Shaugh Prior
By the time window cleaning becomes obvious from the road in Shaugh Prior, it has usually been quietly building for two seasons. South-west Dartmoor village above the Plym and Meavy valleys, which shapes how window cleaning on Dartmoor granite and lime render and natural slate actually plays out around PL7.
Slate roofs hold moss densely in this air, and gutters fill twice as fast under tree cover. Crews are based 6.9 miles away in PL3, so callouts to Shaugh Prior are short. Exposure here is very exposed - 6.9 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.
We aim to send the written quote inside the same evening you get in touch, and we don't chase you afterwards. We never sub-contract out — the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does the job. There's no minimum charge to look at a job — we'll walk around it, quote it and leave the ball with you. K-Rend, Weber and silicone-render manufacturers all specify softwash as the correct maintenance method. Every quote carries a workmanship guarantee — if a finish isn't right, we come back and put it right. Parking is where a lot of jobs go slow, so we ask about it up front rather than turn up and hope. Second-home owners tend to book us on annual visits with a photo pack rather than being on site. Pressure washing patios always finishes with a lawn edge tidy so borders don't end up sanded. Runoff is diverted with drain bungs where soakaways feed straight into wildlife ponds. Stone plinths get a rinse-only pass at the end of every wall softwash, no product left on stone. Rain-day contingency is baked into the price — no extra charge if we come back a second day to finish. Small drone footage is available on request for high-level roof inspections without ladder time. The kit list gets photographed on setup so nothing accidentally leaves site in the wrong van. For solar-panel arrays the panel owner's approach method takes precedence over ours, always. Winter drive seals are cured under a tarp and a heater for the last two hours so overnight rain doesn't spoil the finish.
