Knaresborough houses, and what they need

Knaresborough is a historic gorge-side town of gritstone and limestone, with steep terraces above the river and modern estates on the flat. The roofline is clay pantile over much of the old town, slate and concrete tile on the newer. The gorge holds damp and shade on the river side almost year-round.

The riverside and castle side of town is steep, tight-access and largely conservation area, so ladder and platform positions have to be worked out before anything else.

What we do in Knaresborough

The work we are asked for most here

Pressure washing in Knaresborough. Most of what looks like permanent staining on a wall, a path or a drive is a living film of algae sitting on top of the surface. The skill is not the machine — it is knowing how much pressure a given surface can take before you start removing the surface itself. Rendering in Knaresborough. Render is the wall’s raincoat. While it is sound it keeps water out of the masonry; once it has cracked or blown it holds water against the wall instead, and the damp inside usually arrives before anyone notices the crack outside. Patio cleaning in Knaresborough. A patio does not usually go dark because the stone has changed. It goes dark because a film of algae has grown over it, and under that film the original colour is still there.
