Why Caistor properties need jet washing

Caistor is one of the highest market towns on the Lincolnshire Wolds, and being up on the hill makes a difference. Rain comes in on the wind from all sides, so moss and lichen still grow well even though it’s drier than the fen towns. The local stone can leave mineral marks on walls and paving too. Houses right at the top get the worst of the weather, and those on the more sheltered eastern slopes see more ordinary moss and algae.

Jet washing in Caistor by Fenland Property Care

On a Wolds hilltop the trouble is usually mineral staining from the limestone, as well as lichen on surfaces that catch all the wind and sun.

When the wind leaves its mark

Caistor is exposed, so over a year the wind leaves a film of dust on everything outside. A jet wash lifts it, but near the old town centre we turn the pressure right down because lime mortar washes out easily.

βœ—
Weathered grime
Hilltop weather builds up a grey layer that a hose won’t shift.
βœ—
If steps go slippery
Shaded steps grow algae, so we treat them before washing them off.
βœ—
Mineral marks
Limestone leaves marks on walls and paving, though most come out with the right treatment.
βœ—
Lichen on stone
Lichen grips exposed stone hard, so it’s treated before any pressure is used.

Why Caistor trusts us with old stone

πŸ†

Local experts

Since so much of Caistor is old limestone, we check each surface and use a setting that cleans it without loosening joints or wearing the face.

πŸ’§

Low pressure where it counts

Older stone gets a softer wash, while modern paving can take more.

How jet washing in Caistor works

1
Surface assessment
First we look at the stone, paving or timber and decide on a pressure and detergent.
2
Pre-treatment
Then a cleaner or biocide goes on so the lichen and dirt start to break down.
3
Pressure washing
Once that’s working, we wash each surface at a setting it can take.
4
Post-clean treatment
If regrowth is likely, especially on exposed walls, we finish with a biocide.

Caistor questions about jet washing

Q: Is it safe to clean old limestone houses in Caistor?
A: Yes, as long as it’s done gently. Plenty of Caistor’s older homes are limestone with lime mortar, so we soft wash with a suitable biocide to clear lichen and algae without harming the stone.
Q: What pressure would you use on paving?
A: It depends on the paving. Old limestone flags might get only 1,500 psi or so, while hard concrete can take 3,000 psi or more.
Q: Can you clean a deck as well?
A: Yes. We keep the pressure low so the grain doesn’t lift on timber or composite.
Q: Is oil on the drive a problem?
A: Not usually. A degreaser goes on first because it lifts much more than pressure on its own.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
