Render Cleaning
Rendered walls can completely change the look of a property. When they’re clean, the house looks bright and well cared for. When they’re not, green staining, black spots, and discolouration quickly make the exterior look tired, even if everything else is in good condition.
We provide professional render cleaning using a safe method designed specifically for rendered surfaces, helping restore an even, clean appearance without damaging the render itself.
Why render becomes stained
Render is more porous than brick, which means it holds moisture for longer. In shaded areas or places that don’t dry out quickly, algae, lichen, and other organic growth start to form on the surface.
Over time, this growth spreads across the wall, leaving green patches, black spots, or streaking. Washing it with water alone won’t remove it properly, and using high pressure can cause damage.
This is why render needs a different approach to cleaning.
Soft washing, not pressure washing
Render should not be cleaned with aggressive pressure.High pressure can leave rough patches, visible marks, and uneven finishes that permanently affect the appearance of the wall. Instead, we use a method known as soft washing. Soft washing involves applying a specialist chemical solution to the render. This solution breaks down algae, lichen, and staining without harming the surface. The wall is then gently rinsed, leaving it clean and even.This method cleans the render properly without forcing water into the surface.
Biocide treatment that keeps working
Once the render has been cleaned, a biocide treatment is applied.
The easiest way to explain biocide is to think of it like Pac-Man. After it’s applied, it continues to “eat” any remaining algae, moss, black spots, or white spots that weren’t visible at the time of cleaning.
The biocide remains active for a long period, often up to two years or more. While it’s active, algae and moss struggle to grow back on the surface, which helps keep the render cleaner for longer.
Treating the whole wall properly
When render is cleaned, the entire wall is treated as one surface. Cleaning only part of a wall can leave uneven colouring and patchy results.
By cleaning and treating the full wall and applying biocide evenly, the finish looks consistent and continues to improve over time as remaining organic growth is broken down.
When render cleaning is worth doing
If your render is starting to look green, patchy, or dull, dealing with it early usually gives the best results. Leaving it too long can make staining harder to remove and may shorten the lifespan of the finish.
Regular render cleaning helps maintain the appearance of the property and reduces the need for repainting sooner than necessary.
