Whitstable finishes are unusually varied for a small town. Painted weatherboard, render, brick and modern coated cladding all sit within a few streets, and estuary salt gets onto every one of them.

Painted weatherboard and timber
Painted timber is the finish that gets damaged most often by well meaning cleaning. Pressure lifts paint at the board edges and drives water behind the boards, so the sensible method is a low pressure treatment, gentle agitation where needed and a careful rinse. Any flaking paint is pointed out rather than washed off and ignored.
The same caution applies to painted render on older frontages, where a scoured patch will never blend back in.
Harbour, hospitality and trade premises
Whitstable's food, hospitality and harbour side premises are judged on appearance from the street, and most cannot afford a closed frontage in season.
- Early morning frontage cleans before opening
- Canopies, signage zones and glazing frames detailed
- Salt film lifted from coated cladding at controlled pressure
- Out of season slots for anything larger

- Can painted weatherboard be cleaned safely?
- Yes, at low pressure. Pressure washing lifts paint at the board edges and drives water behind the boards, so a gentle treatment and careful rinse is the right approach.
- What happens if paint is already flaking?
- You are told about it rather than having it washed off quietly. Cleaning does not fix failing paint, and it is better to know before decorating decisions are made.
- Do you clean shop and restaurant frontages?
- Yes, usually early in the morning before opening, covering canopies, signage zones and glazing frames so the frontage is ready for the day.
- Does estuary salt need a different method?
- Salt film is washed off coated surfaces at controlled pressure, which is a different job from treating green algae growth on a shaded wall.
- Can bigger jobs be done out of season?
- Yes, and it often suits both sides. Larger elevations are easier to programme outside the busiest months.
