Algae and black streaking on render and brick tend to show up worst through autumn and winter, when Willington gets longer damp spells and less direct sun to dry walls out between showers. By spring the growth has often had months to get properly established.

Render and brick cleaning in Willington typically runs from around £150 for a single elevation up to £550–£650 for a full detached property, depending on render type, how established the growth is, and access.

We check the render system before we touch it, then treat Willington properties with biocide soft washing and steam where it's needed, so the finish comes back clean without putting the coating itself at risk.

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 the process differs by surface

  1. 1

    Render assessment

    K-rend, monocouche, pebbledash and sand-and-cement each get treated slightly differently based on thickness and texture.

  2. 2

    Brick and mortar check

    Pointing condition is noted, especially on older lime-mortared brick, so pressure stays low enough not to erode it.

  3. 3

    Biocide on render

    Render gets a biocide soft wash with dwell time suited to how established the algae or lichen is.

  4. 4

    Steam on brick

    Brickwork with black streaking or ingrained staining often gets steam treatment for extra lift.

  5. 5

    Rinse and inspect

    Both surfaces are rinsed at low pressure and checked together before we finish up.

Soft washing vs pressure washing: why it matters

Pressure washing forces water directly at the render surface, and on K-rend, monocouche and pebbledash that can crack the coating, blow sections off the wall entirely, or strip the texture back to bare aggregate.

Soft washing does the opposite. Biocide does the actual cleaning work, and the rinse afterwards is at low pressure — just enough to carry the dead algae and lichen away without stressing the render or the brick pointing underneath. The result looks the same on the day either way, but only one of those methods leaves the coating intact a year later.
