The short answer is no! Not without killing the infection at its root source first. Any green, red or black that appears on render is generally a type of algae that will continue to grow even if you paint it. This will make it an expensive waste of time. Call us in for a free quotation and we will advise the best way forward for you. We have had a particularly damp winter and if you look around there is alot of green algae out there.

It is not a problem to treat it, but make sure you ask an expert

Should you paint render that looks dirty and discoloured? Very often, the answer to this is "No". You need to kill the algae and biological growth that is present on the hard surface. We can gently treat and kill the infection and this is sometimes all that is needed. Have a look at the render section on our website for some stunning before and after pictures so that you can see the effect of a treatment.

This customer woke up one morning, looked at her house and realised it was green. It had been progressively getting worse over a very wet winter and due to her living in a high biological growth area. Her question and one of many other customers is, should i paint it?

To the inexperienced, this seems like the only solution and when completed it can look great for a while. However you need to examine the reason for the change in colour.

Biological growth, red and green algae needs to be killed at the root stem. If you paint over it, the infection becomes trapped and will without fail show itself again in time. We can give a long term answer to the problem by applying a softwash solution that is applied gently and usually from the floor.

We have excellent results from this product and does give a long term solution to agressive algae.

When red algae dies, it secretes a carotene which can turn your walls bright red or orange in colour. But this is nothing to worry about and will dissipate with time.

DO not pressure wash the walls as this can spread the infection and although it may look clean to the naked eye, the spores will very quickly and agressively take hold again.

This change in colour happened almost immediately due to the weather helping us along and needless to say the customer was extremely pleased with the result.
