We check the render system before we touch it, then treat Fulwell properties with biocide soft washing and steam where it's needed, so the finish comes back clean without putting the coating itself at risk.

Knowing which wall is doing the damage lets us treat it properly: a biocide soft wash that gets into the texture of the render rather than just wetting the surface, followed by a low-pressure rinse that leaves the coating intact.

Algae and black streaking on render and brick tend to show up worst through autumn and winter, when Fulwell gets longer damp spells and less direct sun to dry walls out between showers. By spring the growth has often had months to get properly established.

Our standard render and brick cleaning process

  1. 1

    Survey

    We check the render type, growth level and any existing cracking or damage before quoting.

  2. 2

    Protection

    Windows, doors, plants and any nearby vehicles are covered or moved clear.

  3. 3

    Biocide application

    Biocide is applied to kill algae, lichen and black fungal growth at the surface.

  4. 4

    Dwell time

    The treatment is left to work into the growth — rushing this step is where poor results come from.

  5. 5

    Low-pressure rinse

    Dead growth is rinsed away at low pressure, never with a pressure washer on render.

  6. 6

    Final check

    We walk the elevations with you, or send photos, to confirm the finish before we leave.

The biocide we use

  • We use professional-grade biocide formulated to kill algae, lichen and fungal growth on render and masonry, applied at rates matched to the surface and how established the growth is. We're biocide trained (2024), so it's used correctly rather than sprayed on and rinsed off too soon.
