Listed-building lichen
Historic core and conservation-area properties need biocide soft-wash only — never harsh high-pressure. We use Listed-safe specs throughout.
Great Dunmow's mix of 16th-century timber-framed cottages, Georgian townhouses and the modern Smiths Farm and Woodlands Park estates demands different techniques on the same street. We deploy soft-wash on heritage, steam on tile and vacuum on long countryside gutter runs.
Free, no-obligation quote. No call-out fee in Great Dunmow.
Great Dunmow's historic core is one of north Essex's best-preserved market towns, with timber-framed Tudor cottages, listed Georgian townhouses and conservation-area constraints throughout. The newer Smiths Farm and Woodlands Park developments add modern silicone-render and concrete-tile housing that needs an entirely different spec.

Issues specific to Great Dunmow's property types, age and microclimate — and how we fix them properly.
Historic core and conservation-area properties need biocide soft-wash only — never harsh high-pressure. We use Listed-safe specs throughout.
Tudor and Georgian roofs use porous, brittle hand-made clay tile. Steam at low pressure is the only safe method.
CM6 country homes have long single-run gutters that fill with leaf-fall continuously. Full-run vacuum clearance from ground level is standard.
Smiths Farm and Woodlands Park silicone renders attract algae within 18 months. Biocide soft-wash with long-lasting bloom-free results.
CM6's larger driveways lose jointing sand fast. We re-sand with polymeric jointing as standard, not as an extra.
