Render Cleaning in Kettering
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Our render cleaning work in Kettering starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Northamptonshire is characterised by ironstone and limestone villages, Victorian brick and extensive modern development, with lime work on ironstone and monocouche on new-build estates the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With a moderate, drier inland climate, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The local ironstone is soft and highly porous, and cement render on it traps moisture and accelerates the stone's decay.
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 Kettering
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
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.
