Exterior cleaning in Weston, Bath
Weston has an old village core of Bath stone cottages with later housing spreading up the slope behind it. Two eras of building, two very different sets of surfaces, and a gradient running through the middle of it.

Old core, newer slope, and the line between them
In the village core the walls are Bath stone or lime render and the correct method is low pressure with dwell time — lime and limestone do not tolerate anything else. On the newer streets up the slope you are into cement render, K-Rend and concrete tile, which take a standard biocide soft-wash. The mistake we see most often here is one contractor applying the same machine to both, which either damages the old stock or underperforms on the new. We identify which you have before quoting.
Gradient and driveway access
On the slope, run-off travels, so work goes top-down with the water directed away from finished sections and away from the property below. Most of the newer housing has off-street parking and the van goes on the drive. In the old village the lanes are tight and we bring smaller kit accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Is K-Rend safe to clean?
Yes, with a soft-wash. K-Rend and other silicone renders are cleaned with a biocide at low pressure. A rotary head or a close-range wand will mark the surface permanently.
Which method does my house need?
It depends on the wall, not the postcode. Bath stone and lime render need low-pressure steam and dwell. Cement render, K-Rend and pebbledash take a biocide soft-wash. We will tell you which you have before we price it.
Can you clean a sloping driveway evenly?
Yes, working top-down in sections with the run-off controlled. On a gradient that control is what stops the finished sections picking up dirty water again.
