Ripon houses, and what they need

Ripon is a small cathedral city of limestone and brick, Georgian and Victorian around the market square with post-war housing beyond. The roofline is clay pantile and Welsh slate. There is open, low-lying country either side, with damp carried off the Ure.

Limestone and pantile together, which is the combination that most rewards a gentler wash and most punishes a hard one.

What we do in Ripon

The work we are asked for most here

Pressure washing in Ripon. 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 Ripon. 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 Ripon. 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.
