Do you offer a free quote?

Yes — send a few photos or ask for a site visit and we'll give you a proper quote based on render type, size and access, with no obligation.

What render types can you clean?

K-rend, monocouche, pebbledash and traditional sand-and-cement render — each gets treated slightly differently depending on thickness and texture, but all are soft washed rather than pressure washed.

Is soft washing safe for older brick and lime mortar?

Yes — low pressure and steam are both gentler on lime mortar than a pressure washer would be, which matters on older brickwork where the pointing is softer than modern cement-based mortar.

Do you clean commercial and industrial premises?

Yes, we clean render, brick and block on shops, offices and industrial units, usually scheduling around opening hours so it doesn't disrupt business.

That's the difference soft washing makes. Biocide does the work of killing algae, lichen and black fungal growth, and a gentle low-pressure rinse finishes the job without disturbing the render coat or the brick pointing underneath it.

We 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.

Shaded render and brick under trees

Render and brick under tree cover or on permanently shaded elevations in Spennymoor 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.

Access for commercial and multi-site jobs

For larger or commercial properties near A688, we plan access and parking in advance so equipment can be set up without disrupting deliveries, customers or shared yards.

Steam cleaning for brick and stubborn staining

Steam is used where black streaking or ingrained staining on brick needs extra lift beyond what biocide alone will shift. It works at high temperature rather than high pressure, which suits older brick and mortar that wouldn't take forceful water well.

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.

Nearby places we also cover
