Over time rendered walls can lose their original appearance. Dirt, algae, moss, lichen, weather staining and general pollution can leave render looking tires, green or discoloured
The good news is that professional render cleaning can often restore th appearance of your property without the need for expensive re-rendering or painting
At DSgo we provide professional render cleaning for homes and commercial properties including schools and colleges, across Lancashire, Merseyside and the surrounding areas
Why does render become dirty?
Render is constantly exposed to the brisiths weather. Rain, damp conditions and limited sunlight can create the perfect environment for organic growth such as algae, moss and lichen
Properties surrounded by trees or located in shaded areas can be particularly susceptible to green and black staining
Over time you may notice:
Green algae on the render
Black or grey weather staining
Moss and lichen growth
Dirt and atmospheric pollution
Discolouration around windows and doors
A generally tired or neglected appearance
Regular professional cleaning
Can help keep rendered surfaces looking fresh and well maintained
Can render be pressure washed?
This is one of the most important questions when it comes to render cleaning
Not all render should be treated with high pressure washing
Some rendered surfaces including certain types of k-rend and other modern render systems , can be damaged by excessive pressure or innapropriate cleaning methods
That is why professional render cleaning should involve assessing the type and condition of the render before choosing the appropriate cleaning system
At DSgo we use cleaning methods designed to remove contamination while helping to minimise the risk of damage to the underlying surface
K Rend cleaning
K-rend is a popular choice for modern homes because of its attractive appearance and durability. However , like any exterior finish, it can become stained and contaminated over time
Green algae and black staining can be particularly noticeable on lighter coloured k rend
Professional k-rend cleaning can help restore the appearance of the surface without the disruption and expense associated with replacing the render
The cleaning process will depend on the condition and type of render with the aim of achieving the best possible results while protecting the surface
How does professional render cleaning work?
Every property is different so the cleaning process can vary
A typical render cleaning service may include:
Inspection. We first assess the render to identify the type of surface, its condition and the type of contamination present
Preparation. Surrounding areas such as windows, doors, paths, plants and other vulnerable surfaces are protected where necessary
Treatment. An appropriate cleaning treatment is applied to help break down algae, organic growth, dirt and staining
Controlled cleaning. The surface is cleaned using an appropriate method for the particular render. The objective is to achieve a thorough clean without unnecessarily aggressive pressure
Final inspection. Once the cleaning is complete, this may take several applications and rinsing, the render is inspected to ensure the best possible finish has been achieved
The benefits of professional render cleaning
Cleaning your render can have a surprisingly big impact on the appearance of your property
Improve kerb appeal
Clean, bright render can make a property look considerably newer and better maintained
Avoid unneccessary replacement
If your render is structurally sound but simply dirty or stained, cleaning may be a much more cost effective option than replacing it
Remove organic growth
Professional cleaning can help tackle algae, moss and lichen that can make exterior walls look unsightly
Protect your investment
Regular exterior maintenance can help keep your property looking its best and prevent contamination from being left untreated for long periods of time
How often should render be treated?
There isn’t a single answer because every property is different
Location, shade, surrounding vexation exposure to weather and the type of render can all affect how quickly staining returns
Many properties benefit from having their render inspected and cleaned when it starts to show noticeable algae, dirt or staining rather than waiting until the surface becomes heavily contaminated
