Render Cleaning in Edinburgh
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Getting render cleaning right in Edinburgh depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
The prevailing picture in Midlothian is Georgian and Victorian stone terraces, tenements and modern estates. That means conservation lime work on Edinburgh stone and harling repair comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees cold easterly exposure with frequent frost, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Edinburgh's world heritage core carries some of the strictest conservation requirements in britain, and only lime specifications will get consent.
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 Edinburgh
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
Can I pressure wash my render?
We strongly advise against it on thin-coat silicone, acrylic and monocouche. High pressure erodes the finish and forces water behind it. Soft washing is the safe method.
Will cleaning restore the original colour?
On through-coloured render, usually yes — the colour is intact under the growth. On painted render, cleaning may reveal that the paint itself has faded unevenly.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
