Render Cleaning in Gwent
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Getting render cleaning right in Gwent depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Across Gwent, valley terraces, stone cottages and postwar estate housing dominates, and damp in solid-wall valley terraces and failed cement render is what we are called out to most often. Local conditions bring high rainfall with sheltered valley conditions, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying.
Local factor. The valleys hold moisture and see limited sun on north-facing slopes, so algae and persistent damp are more common here than the rainfall alone would suggest.
Is render cleaning right for a Gwent property?
Choose soft-wash cleaning to restore a discoloured render without the substrate damage that pressure washing causes on thin-coat systems.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Render Cleaning in Gwent — questions
Why is only one wall green?
North-facing and shaded elevations stay damp far longer, so algae establishes there first. Overhanging trees and leaking gutters accelerate it.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
