4. Jon Ingham, of builders Carrek, said: "Most of our work is on vertical church towers and spires, this is the first horse I have done." "The White Horse had turned grey due to an algae build–up and over the last two months we have been working to make it white again." "First we had to steam clean the horse with a high–pressure and high–powered hand–held tool to remove all the algae." "We then had to carry out a few repairs to the concrete before we began painting it." "The paint we have been using is designed for the exact environment the horse is in." "Algae is prone to growing on the White Horse and it gives a blackened appearance." "But the paint has got alkaline in which the algae doesn‘t like." A sample of the paint, made by Bavarian–based Keim Mineral Paints, was tested alongside two other samples on the horse for 18 months.
