Render softwashing across Old Swan
Low pressure and the right treatment clean the render without scarring it, and the biocide keeps working on the staining for months afterwards.
Render softwashing in Old Swan
Rendered and painted fronts are a big part of Old Swan’s look: whole terraced runs have been skimmed or painted over the brick, the interwar semis carry pebbledash, and the modern infill brings K rend into the mix. Textured coatings hold spores, and fronts that face away from the sun stay damp long enough for green and black staining to set in. Render only ever gets a low-pressure soft wash and a biocide from us, because pressure washing wrecks dashed and thin-coat finishes.

How much does render softwashing cost in Old Swan?
There is no set price list, because what you pay comes down to how many elevations need doing, how high the wall goes, and whether the growth is surface algae or staining that has soaked into the render.
What is soft washing?
Soft washing cleans a surface with low pressure water and specialist cleaning solutions instead of brute force. The solution kills the algae, mould and lichen at the root, then a gentle rinse washes it all away. It’s the standard method for render, pebbledash, painted walls and any other finish that high pressure would damage.
Why can’t you just pressure wash render?
High pressure scars the texture of coloured renders like K Rend and monocouche, knocks the stones out of pebbledash, peels paint and forces water through hairline cracks into the wall behind. The marks it leaves are permanent. Soft washing gets the staining off without any of that risk.
