Render Cleaning

Exterior render can become marked by algae, organic growth, dirt and weather staining. Because render can be more delicate than hard landscaping, the cleaning method needs to be selected carefully.

Common Problems

Algae
Organic growth
Dirt
Weather staining
Discolouration

Soft Washing

Soft washing uses a lower-pressure approach combined with appropriate cleaning treatments to tackle organic contamination on suitable surfaces.

Rather than relying only on mechanical pressure, appropriate treatments can help break down organic contamination and reduce the need for aggressive cleaning.

Suitable Surfaces

We only soft wash surfaces that are suitable for it.

Render
Walls
Suitable exterior surfaces

Chemical Treatment

Where appropriate, chemical treatments can form part of the soft-washing process to help tackle organic contamination such as algae and other biological growth.

The treatment and the cleaning method depend on the surface type and its condition.

FAQs

Do you use high pressure on render?

Render can be more delicate than hard landscaping, so we do not assume a high-pressure wash is the right method. Soft washing uses a lower-pressure approach, with appropriate treatments where the surface is suitable.

Can cleaning damage render?

The method is chosen for the type of render and its condition, which reduces the need for aggressive cleaning. We assess the surface before the work.

Can you clean different types of render?

We look at the render type and its condition first. Where the surface is suitable, we can clean it. If a finish is not suitable for the methods we use, we will say so.

Do you use chemical treatments?

Where appropriate, chemical treatments can form part of the soft-washing process to help tackle organic contamination such as algae and other biological growth. The treatment and the cleaning method depend on the surface type and its condition.

What results should I expect?

The aim is to lift algae, organic growth, dirt, weather staining and discolouration from suitable render. How far that goes depends on the surface and how long the contamination has been there.

Is my property suitable?

Suitable surfaces include render, walls and other exterior surfaces where a soft-wash approach is appropriate. Send photos with your quote and we will confirm.
