Render cleaning questions, answered

Because we kill the growth at the root rather than just blasting the surface, a softwash typically stays clean for three to five years. Pressure washing only clears the top layer, so it often comes back within six to twelve months.

It depends on the size of the property, the level of growth and the access, but a typical three bed semi starts from around 200 to 400 pounds. We give you a clear fixed price after a free survey, with no call-out fee.

Most homes are treated in a single day. Heavier growth sometimes needs a return visit, because the biocide keeps working and clearing for days after we apply it.

No. We arrive fully self-contained with our own water and power, so there is nothing you need to provide on the day.

It kills what is there now at the root. Render will always be exposed to the Northern Irish weather, so growth returns eventually, but far more slowly than after a pressure wash. Many customers have us back every few years to keep it fresh.

Yes, and those are the walls that need it most. North-facing gables get the least sun and stay damp longest, so they green up fastest. The softwash treats them the same way, just with the right dwell time for heavier growth.

Yes. Older dash and harling finishes clean up really well with a softwash. Because there is no high pressure involved, we clear the growth from the texture without knocking stones or chips loose.

For most Northern Irish homes, every three to five years keeps it looking right. If a wall is heavily shaded or near trees it may green up sooner, and we can advise once we have seen it.

Yes. We are Safewash certified, City and Guilds qualified, COSHH certified and carry two million pounds of public liability insurance. We have been cleaning exteriors across Northern Ireland since 2003.
