Render Cleaning in Basingstoke
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Our render cleaning work in Basingstoke starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Across Hampshire, Georgian and Victorian housing, flint and brick cottages and extensive modern development dominates, and coastal salt on Portsmouth and Gosport properties, EWI on solid-wall stock is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring mild southern conditions with coastal exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Flint-and-brick construction across the chalk downland needs lime, while the coastal cities are dominated by solid-wall terraces suited to external insulation.
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 Basingstoke
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.
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.
