Render Cleaning Alderley Edge

Softwashing is a gentle and effective exterior cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mold, algae, and other contaminants from surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water to blast away debris, softwashing is a safer and more suitable option for delicate surfaces like roofs, cladding, render and painted exteriors. Softwashing ensures thorough cleaning without causing damage to the surfaces being treated.

The most heavily stained sides of your property are likely to be the north and east sides. This isbecause they will not be exposed to quite as much natural sunshine as other sides. Green staining can be particularly prevalent on areas near water, as increased humidity can lead to more infections. The problem can be exacerbated as spores arrive from nearby large foliage like trees.

To give an accurate time estimate we would need to assess the property. On average our softwashing service is completed in one to two working days, although a follow-up visit may be required on some occasions.

Unfortunately not. The problem is that, while this approach to cleaning render will wear down its surface, it won’t completely eradicate spores. As a result, those left will simply re-grow even thicker – and more quickly – than before. Soft washing, however, will get rid of even micro-organic spores leaving your walls pristine. 

Absolutely! We have fully qualified rendering specialists within the business who repair and patch damaged render. All the major rendering suppliers ensure our work and come with the supplier’s guarantee. We can even provide a full rendering service on request with competitive pricing.

Softwashing kills all algaes, bacterias and moss. This gives your surfaces a fresh start and protects it from rapid regrowth. We would be confident to say that it will stay clean for another two years. Some areas will grow back quicker though due to shade or overhanging tree branches. We recommend that softwashing be carried out every 3 years to keep your property looking its best.

Softwashing not only cleans your walls but kills any organic growth at the root, leaving you with longer-lasting pristine walls. Softwashing can effectively remove a whole range of contaminants including: stains, algae, mould, spores, carbon deposits, UV-damaged surfaces, moss, and lichens.

Yes, softwashing is an environmentally friendly cleaning method. The cleaning solutions used in softwashing are typically biodegradable and designed to be gentle on the environment. The low-pressure water application also minimizes the risk of water and chemical run-off, making softwashing a sustainable choice for exterior cleaning. It effectively removes contaminants without compromising the surrounding ecosystem.
