Algae, Lichen & Black Streak Removal — Shildon
Green algae, black streaks or lichen on render or brick in Shildon? Our soft wash method cleans thoroughly without the risk pressure washing carries.
07501060609We soft wash render and use steam or gentle low-pressure methods on brick, adjusting biocide dwell time and rinse pressure to what the surface can actually take.
If render or brickwork in Shildon has gone green, black-streaked or lichen-covered, we'll soft wash it back to a clean, even finish — no pressure washer near the render coat, ever.
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.
Homeowners
Protecting new-build render finishes
If your home has monocouche or K-rend and it's only a few years old, the last thing you want near it is a pressure washer — it's thin enough that aggressive cleaning can strip or crack the coloured finish. Soft washing keeps the render looking new for longer, without the risk.
A straightforward, owner-run service
- Run by Trevor
- Direct contact, not a call centre — 07501 060609 goes straight through.
- Biocide trained (2024) and fully insured

- We look after you and your property
- Not just a line — it's how every job is approached, from protecting planting to leaving the site tidy.
Soft washing equipment
- Our soft wash setup delivers biocide and rinse water at low pressure through a controlled system, rather than the high-force jets a pressure washer produces. That's the difference between cleaning render safely and risking cracked or blown coatings.
Working safely on render and brick elevations
We're fully insured and asbestos awareness trained, which matters on older render and brickwork where past repairs or outbuildings can involve materials that need identifying before any work starts.
Biocide use is covered by our spill management training, so chemicals are applied, contained and disposed of properly rather than left to run off into drains or planting. Windows, doors, cars and gardens get protected before we start, and higher elevations are worked from a safe platform rather than putting pressure equipment where it shouldn't be.
Why local coverage matters for render cleaning
Knowing the area helps with more than just travel time — we've seen the render types, growth patterns and exposure common to Shildon and the places around it, like Bishop Auckland and Newton Aycliffe, which means fewer surprises once we're on site.
