How long does render cleaning take?

Most single properties take a few hours to a day, depending on size, growth level and access. Larger or commercial elevations can take longer — we'll give you a time estimate with your quote.

Can you clean K-rend?

Yes. K-rend is soft washed with biocide and rinsed at low pressure — never pressure washed, since the coloured finish is thin enough to be damaged by force.

Will the biocide harm my plants or pets?

We cover or move planting before we start and are spill management trained to handle and dispose of chemicals properly, minimising any risk to plants, pets or the surrounding area.

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.

Do I need to be home while you work?

No, as long as we can access the areas being cleaned and there's water available. We'll leave the site tidy and can send before-and-after photos if you're not around.

Why has the render on one side of my house gone green and not the others?

Shade and moisture are usually the reason — north or west-facing walls that stay damp longer after rain are more likely to develop algae and lichen than sunnier elevations.

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.

Why does render in Whitley Bay turn green on one elevation and stay clean on the other three? Usually it comes down to shade, prevailing wind and how much rain that particular wall sees — north and west-facing K-rend and monocouche hold moisture longer, and moisture is exactly what algae and lichen need to get established.

We use soft washing and steam methods instead. A biocide treatment kills the growth at the root, a low-pressure rinse lifts dirt without forcing water behind the render, and the result actually lasts because the problem is gone, not just blasted off the surface for a few months.

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.

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.

How far we travel

Whitley Bay is around 10 miles north of our Washington base, comfortably inside the area we cover day-to-day, so there's no premium for distance on a job like this.
