Professional Soft Wash Cleaning in Sunderland

Green algae, black streaks or lichen on render or brick in Sunderland? Our soft wash method cleans thoroughly without the risk pressure washing carries.

Soft washing is the correct method: biocide does the cleaning, low pressure just rinses it away, and the render coat itself is never put under the kind of force a pressure washer generates.

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.

Brickwork gets the same care. Steam or soft washing lifts black streaking and algae without eroding old lime mortar joints, which is where a pressure washer does most of its damage on older brick properties.

Render and brick on mixed commercial premises

Shopfronts and commercial units around Doxford International Business Park often combine rendered upper floors with brick or block at street level, and years of traffic grime plus the usual algae staining can make a building look tired even when it's structurally fine.

We soft wash render sections and use steam or low pressure on brick and block, timing the work outside opening hours where needed so the clean doesn't disrupt business.

Render and brick cleaning for landlords and property managers

Managing render and brick cleaning across several properties is easier with one contractor who applies the same standard everywhere. We're fully insured with documented biocide training, so you've got a consistent, accountable service across a portfolio rather than different results from different subcontractors.

Rinse water and runoff

  • Rinsing is done at controlled low pressure, which means less runoff overall than a pressure wash produces, and what does run off is mostly water rather than a heavy chemical load, since the biocide has already done its job by the time we rinse.
