Honest exterior cleaning for Totnes homes

Historic Dart-side market town with Norman castle. About 18.7 miles from our PL3 base.
What's specific about Totnes
- At about 18.7 miles from Plymouth PL3, Totnes is on our regular run rather than a special trip.
- Most houses we quote in Totnes are painted render, cob and stone, which sets the treatment we plan for walls.
- Roofs around Totnes are mostly slate and clay tile, which affects how much moss and lichen we usually see.
Common reasons Totnes owners ring us
- Granite and stone frontages in Totnes need a low-pressure approach - never a strip-the-face jet wash.
- Windborne pollen and lime dust from the fields settle on Totnes render more than on Plymouth suburbs.
- Prevailing south-westerlies carry a lot of moisture into Totnes, which favours algae growth on north-facing elevations.
