What affects the cost of render cleaning?

A few factors influencing the price of render cleaning and how long the job takes include:

• Access – Hard to reach areas will add on to the labour time
• Height – If scaffolding is needed, that’s an additional cost to account for
• Condition – Heavily stained properties will naturally cost more

What is the best thing to clean render with?

The safest and most effective option is a soft-wash solution designed for render.

Specialists use low-pressure water mixed with specialist biocides to remove algae, moss, and staining without damaging the surface.

Can you pressure wash render?

It’s not recommended to use a pressure washer on render. High-pressure washing can crack, erode, or strip the render.

A gentle soft-wash method is the way forward to keep render clean and protected.

How do you clean exterior render?

Depending on how dirty the render is, several different methods can be used, including:

• Soft washing – Using a mild detergent, a water-fed pole, and a brush attachment to gently remove dirt
• Steam cleaning – Good at lifting bedded-in stains without damaging the render
• Hand scrubbing – Effective, but more time-consuming method of cleaning render
• Biocides and cleaning products – Good for removing green algae

A specialist render cleaner will advise you on what’s the best removal process for your property.

How often should render be cleaned?

Most homes benefit from cleaning every one to two years. However, homes in shaded, coastal, or damp areas may need soft-washing annually to stay clear of algae and staining.

Is soft-washing better than jet-washing for render?

Yes. Render is delicate, and high-pressure jet-washing can cause damage. Soft-washing uses low pressure and specialist cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, moss, mould, and grime without affecting the surface.
