Render softwashing in Widnes

Pebbledash fronts most of the interwar semis around Appleton and the council stock at Hough Green, while Upton Rocks brought acres of smooth modern render and K rend to the north side of town. In the damp air off the Mersey those coatings green over quickly on the elevations that never see sun. Pressure washing render just forces water behind the coating, so we soft wash it instead, low pressure with a biocide that keeps working after we have gone.

Render softwashing across Widnes

Render only ever gets a low-pressure soft wash from us, so the coating stays sound while the treatment kills the growth at the root.

Render softwashing in Widnes: your questions

Do you cover Widnes?

Yes, Widnes and the WA8 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 15 minutes out from our base in Prescot.

How much does render softwashing cost in Widnes?

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.

Is soft washing safe for K Rend and other coloured renders?

Yes. Coloured render should never see high pressure, so we clean it with the right solution, a proper dwell time and a low pressure rinse. The colour and texture stay exactly as they were, minus the staining.

How long does a render clean last?

Most walls stay clean for 12 to 24 months and often longer, because the treatment kills the growth rather than just rinsing the surface. A shaded, north-facing or tree-covered wall will green up sooner than one that gets plenty of sun and wind.
