What's actually different about Thurlestone

By the time window cleaning becomes obvious from the road in Thurlestone, it has usually been quietly building for two seasons. Coastal village facing the arched Thurlestone Rock, which shapes how window cleaning on painted render, cob and stone and thatch, slate and concrete tile actually plays out around TQ7.

Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge. Working out of TQ7 we're rarely more than 20 miles from a Thurlestone job. Exposure here is very exposed - 20 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. If we spot something on the visit that's cheaper for you to sort a different way, we'll say so. Cameras go on the vac pole as standard so you see the gutter before and after, not just take it on trust. Boundary walls, garage doors and bin stores usually get added to bigger visits at cost, not full rates. 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. Wall softwash finishes with a plinth rinse in every case, which is where the streaks would otherwise settle. Fresh brush heads go on the pole for every glazing job over five years old. 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 most expensive part of any softwash is time on site, not the chemistry. We priority-book care-home and rental customers because their timelines are usually tightest. Enquiry-to-quote turnaround is measured weekly and posted on the wall in the yard. If a job goes wrong we say so on the invoice and we credit it — nothing gets buried. The photo pack we send at completion doubles as a maintenance record for your property file.

Typical problems on Thurlestone properties

  • Sash recesses and lead detail filling with cobweb and grit on older coastal village stock - in the South Hams District Council patch - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons.
  • Velux and dormer windows uncleaned since fitting on coastal village properties - 20 miles from PL3 - typically half a day, sometimes a full day if access is tight.
  • South-westerly glazing in Thurlestone caked with salt residue - Coastal village facing the arched Thurlestone Rock - at roughly 50.258,-3.858 - the reason we send photos on completion rather than invoice cold.
  • Lead lights packing with moss on thatched cottages and 1930s villas unique to Thurlestone - on painted render, cob and stone - a job where getting the order right matters more than the products.
  • Trickle vents fogging over on the windward side of thatched cottages and 1930s villas - across thatch, slate and concrete tile - the sort of clean that pays for itself in kerb appeal.
