What to expect

Remove visible surface growth

Cleaning can reduce algae, lichen, traffic film and other weathering on suitable walls.

Choose a method for the material

Render, brick and natural stone need different pressures, treatments and rinse methods.

Take care around joints and coatings

Weak mortar, loose paint and previous coatings are checked before cleaning begins.

Is soft washing safer than high pressure on render?

Lower pressure is generally more suitable for render, but the coating and condition still need to be checked first.

Can you remove black streaks and red algae?

Many black streaks and algae marks can be treated, although the final result depends on the surface and how deeply it is stained.

How long will the results last?

It depends on shade, weather, nearby trees and the surface itself. We do not promise a fixed period before growth returns.

Can every mark be completely removed?

Not always. Age, porosity, previous treatments and the source of a stain affect the result. Once we have seen the surface, we will explain what is realistic and may suggest a small test area.

What if the surface is already damaged?

Loose pointing, failing coatings, cracked materials and unstable joints need to be identified before cleaning. We will discuss whether cleaning should be adjusted, delayed or avoided.
