Render Cleaning in Caernarfon
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
If you are weighing up render cleaning in Caernarfon, the starting point is what your walls are actually built from.
Across Gwynedd, slate and stone cottages, quarry housing and exposed coastal properties dominates, and extreme driving rain on slate and stone construction is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring among the highest rainfall in the UK with severe exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Snowdonia records some of the highest rainfall in britain, and any non-breathable render on stone here will trap water within a single winter.
When render cleaning is the right call. Choose soft-wash cleaning to restore a discoloured render without the substrate damage that pressure washing causes on thin-coat systems.

FAQs
Render Cleaning in Caernarfon
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
How long does render cleaning last?
Typically two to four years before noticeable regrowth, depending on shading, aspect and nearby vegetation. Annual maintenance treatments extend that considerably.
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.
