Render & Brick Cleaning in Chester-le-Street

Render gone green or brick streaked black in Chester-le-Street? We soft wash K-rend, monocouche and pebbledash safely with biocide, never high pressure. Call Trevor for a quote.

A lot of people assume render cleaning means pressure washing, the same as a patio or driveway. It doesn't, and treating render like a hard surface is how cracking, staining and blown coatings happen, especially on thin monocouche and K-rend systems.

We use soft washing and steam methods instead. A biocide treatment kills the growth at the root, a low-pressure rinse lifts dirt without forcing water behind the render, and the result actually lasts because the problem is gone, not just blasted off the surface for a few months.

Soft washing costs a little more than a quick pressure rinse would, but it doesn't carry the risk of blown render or damaged pointing — repairs that cost far more than the cleaning itself would have.

Homes & businesses

Industrial and warehouse unit cleaning

Units around Drum Industrial Estate often have large expanses of render or block that pick up algae staining fast, especially on shaded or north-facing walls. We soft wash at scale, with spill management training covering biocide use around industrial sites and shared yards.

Shaded render and brick under trees

Render and brick under tree cover or on permanently shaded elevations in Chester-le-Street stay damp longer after rain, and that's exactly the condition lichen and green algae need to take hold — these walls are often the worst-affected on a property even when the rest of the house looks fine.

We give shaded elevations a longer biocide dwell time where the growth is established, since a quick treatment on heavily lichen-crusted render or brick rarely shifts it in one pass.
