Render Cleaning in Street
Soft-wash render cleaning and biocide treatment that removes algae without damaging the finish.
We carry out render cleaning across Street and the surrounding Somerset area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Somerset is Bath stone, cob cottages, Georgian terraces and modern coastal housing. That means lime work on Bath stone and cob, coastal weathering at Weston-super-Mare comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With wet south-western conditions with coastal exposure, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Bath's georgian stone is subject to world heritage constraints, and cob in the levels needs lime for exactly the same reasons as in devon.
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 Street
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.
