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.

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.

Render and brick cleaning for coastal-exposed properties

At around 4.3 miles from the coast, properties in Hetton-le-Hole pick up salt-laden air that speeds up algae growth on render and can leave brickwork with a duller, more weathered look than you'd see further inland.

Salt exposure doesn't change our approach — biocide soft washing still does the work — but we do factor in that coastal render often needs cleaning more often to stay ahead of regrowth.
