Render Cleaning in Shifnal
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
Render Cleaning in Shifnal is work we take on regularly, and the Shropshire housing stock is a big part of why.
Across Shropshire, timber framing, sandstone cottages and rural farm buildings dominates, and lime render on timber-frame and sandstone in a conservation-heavy county is what we are called out to most often.
Local conditions bring moderate rainfall with exposed upland conditions in the south, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Ludlow and shrewsbury hold large concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings where 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 Shifnal
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.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
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.
