Question 1

How long does a render clean last?

Accepted Answer

A professional softwash treatment typically lasts 3–5 years depending on your property’s location, exposure to weather, and render type. North-facing walls or properties in shaded, damp areas may need retreating sooner. Our biocide treatment continues working for months after application, helping to prevent regrowth.

Question 2

Will softwash damage my render?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike pressure washing, softwash uses low pressure — similar to a garden hose — combined with specialist biodegradable biocides. It’s safe for all render types including K-rend, monocouche, silicone, and traditional lime render. We assess your render type before treatment to ensure we use the right approach.

Question 3

How much does render cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Every property is different, so we provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your property. As a guide, a typical 3-bed semi ranges from £250–400 depending on size, access, and the extent of biological growth. We’ll always agree a price before starting any work.

Question 4

What’s the difference between softwash and pressure washing?

Accepted Answer

Pressure washing blasts dirt off surfaces with high-pressure water — which can damage render, force water behind cladding, and doesn’t kill the biological growth. Softwash uses low-pressure application of biocide solutions that kill algae, lichen, and moss at the root. The results last much longer because the growth is eliminated, not just displaced.
