Restore and protect your property's exterior with our expert render cleaning and maintenance solutions
Get Free QuoteYour property's render is not just about aesthetics—it's a crucial protective layer that shields your building from the elements. Over time, render accumulates dirt, algae, moss, and pollution that can compromise its integrity and appearance. Professional render cleaning not only enhances your property's curb appeal but also prevents moisture penetration and structural damage.
At Al Grey's Cleaning Services, we specialize in professional render cleaning using safe, effective methods that remove contaminants without damaging the surface. Our team has over 13 years of experience working with all types of render, including traditional cement, modern acrylic, silicone, and monocouche renders.
We understand that clean render is more than just visually appealing—it's essential for maintaining your property's structural integrity and preventing issues like dampness, cracking, and insulation problems. Our comprehensive render cleaning services are designed to protect your investment while enhancing your property's appearance.
Comprehensive solutions for all your exterior wall maintenance needs
Our soft wash render cleaning method is the safest and most effective approach for removing contaminants from your exterior walls without causing damage. Unlike pressure washing which can force water behind the render and cause detachment, soft washing uses low-pressure application of specialized cleaning solutions that break down algae, moss, and dirt at the microscopic level.
The cleaning solutions we use are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, effectively killing biological growth while being safe for your plants, pets, and the surrounding environment. After application, the solutions continue working for weeks, preventing regrowth and keeping your render cleaner for longer. This method is particularly effective for modern silicone and acrylic renders that can be damaged by high-pressure techniques.
Algae and fungus growth on render is not just an aesthetic issue—it can cause serious damage to your property's exterior. These organisms retain moisture against the render surface, leading to degradation, cracking, and potential water penetration. Black algae stains, often appearing as dark patches or streaks, can also compromise the integrity of your render over time and lead to costly repairs.
Our specialized algae and fungus removal service targets these growths effectively while protecting your render. We use professional-grade treatments that kill existing growth and create an environment that discourages regrowth. For stubborn infestations, we may recommend specialized fungicidal treatments followed by protective coatings to ensure complete eradication and long-term protection.
Rendered surfaces are particularly susceptible to staining from pollution, traffic film, rust, and environmental factors. These stains not only detract from your property's appearance but can also penetrate the render surface, making them increasingly difficult to remove over time. Our stain and pollution removal service is specifically designed to tackle these challenging issues without damaging the render.
We use specialized cleaning agents and techniques tailored to different types of stains. For pollution marks and traffic film, we employ gentle chemical solutions that break down the contaminants. Rust stains require different treatment approaches, while organic stains from leaves or other natural sources need specific enzymatic cleaners. Our comprehensive approach ensures all types of stains are effectively removed, restoring your render to its original condition.
Our protective render coatings are designed to provide long-term protection against biological growth, water penetration, and staining. These treatments are applied after cleaning to create a protective barrier that repels water while allowing the render to breathe—a crucial factor in preventing moisture-related issues. The coatings we use are specifically formulated for different render types and provide protection for extended periods.
We offer different types of protective treatments based on your render type and local conditions. Silicone-based coatings are excellent for most situations, providing excellent water repellency while maintaining breathability. For areas with high biological growth, we may recommend coatings with built-in algacides and fungicides. We'll recommend the best option for your specific situation during our assessment, ensuring optimal protection and performance.

After cleaning, we apply long-lasting protective treatments that inhibit future biological growth and repel water, extending the time between professional cleanings.
Get answers to common questions about render cleaning
Most rendered properties benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 years. However, this can vary depending on factors like your local climate, surrounding vegetation, render type, and exposure to pollution. Properties in damp, shaded areas or urban environments with higher pollution may require more frequent cleaning. We can provide a specific recommendation after assessing your property.
Yes, when performed by professionals using the correct methods. We use soft wash techniques that are specifically designed to be gentle on render while effectively removing contaminants. We avoid high-pressure washing which can damage render, force water behind the surface, or remove protective coatings. Our methods are safe for all types of render including traditional cement, modern acrylic, silicone, and monocouche renders.
Yes, algae can cause significant damage to your render over time. It retains moisture against the render surface, leading to degradation, cracking, and potential water penetration into the wall structure. In winter, moisture retained by algae can freeze and expand, causing further damage. Regular cleaning prevents these issues and extends your render's lifespan, potentially saving you from costly repairs.
Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our render cleaning services. If you're not completely happy with the results, we'll return to address any concerns at no additional cost. Additionally, our protective treatments come with a guarantee against regrowth for a specified period, typically 2-3 years depending on the product used and local conditions.
Yes, we use environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and the surrounding environment when applied correctly. We take comprehensive precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process, including covering plants and sensitive areas. We can use additional protective measures if you have particularly sensitive plants or environmental concerns.
Yes, clean render can contribute to better energy efficiency. Dirt and biological growth on render can retain moisture, which reduces the insulating properties of your walls. A clean, well-maintained render surface allows the wall to breathe properly and maintain better thermal performance. Additionally, after cleaning, we can apply protective coatings that enhance water repellency while maintaining breathability, further improving energy efficiency.
