Cheadle is largely 1930s semi-detached housing with a good amount of pebbledash and painted render, sitting on fairly open plots either side of Wilmslow Road. Because it is closer to the main routes and the airport corridor, the thing we notice most on Cheadle frontages is traffic film — a fine grey grime that dulls render and brick and washes down in streaks under window sills.
Typical Cheadle jobs are softwashing pebbledash and painted render back to an even colour, cleaning concrete driveways and paths, and roof plus gutter work on the terraces and semis around High Street and Massie Street. Pebbledash needs a gentle approach — pressure washing knocks the stones out and leaves bald patches, which is one of the more common repairs we get asked about locally.
