Softwash Render Cleaning Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme
High Quality, Professional and Affordable Render Cleaning Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme
Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme are rapidly growing towns in Greater Manchester, both seeing a large influx of newly rendered properties, as well as already boasting bespoke classical Tudor rendered buildings. Render is an excellent choice to make a building stand out, tastefully combining the contemporary with the classic. However, rendered facades can quickly deteriorate in condition owing to constant exposure to wind and rain. This environment facilitates the build-up of algae on the surface of the render, often materialising as green, red or black marks on the face of the render.

The Problem
To treat these organic issues, we employ a specific biocide that is highly effective at killing the problem at its root.
This extends the longevity of the cleaning by killing all traces of the contaminants that steam cleaning alone cannot do. This allows you to enjoy your render in its best condition for as long as possible. This biocide is also versatile in the severity of colony growth, being able to kill red and green algae streaks caused by juvenile colonies, as well as the more mature and ground-in-black streaks.
For removing lichen growth and inorganic pollutants such as soot and general road dirt, we make use of low-power steam cleaning pressure washers that effectively dig behind contaminants and lift them off the surface of the render.
All of our team members are well experienced in using steam cleaners and understand precisely how much pressure should be applied, so you can relax knowing that this method poses no risk to the render itself.
High quality and no damage render cleaning
At Exterior Cleaning Pro, we have spent the last two decades mastering the craft of render cleaning, amassing the experience, the arsenal and the top reputation in the area to clean even the most difficult render. We appreciate the unique nature of every render, having taken the time to appreciate the catalysts and traits of each type of issue.
For example, the common “algae streak” is caused by organic growth spores carried through the air, which then attach to the render’s face. There, the humid climate on the surface allows for rapid expansion of the algae colony. Lichen growth is another common organic issue, often seen on older renders, and is caused by a similar process.
- Lichen growths differ from algae in several ways, namely in appearance.
- Lichen growths materialise as small, brittle and roughly circular imperfections.

Our Proven Render Cleaning Process
To do this, we use long lances to reach the top of even the highest structures. This method is the most effective at providing a perfect finish to a job, clearing away ground in dirt and restoring the bright original colour of your render.
We can guarantee the best render cleaning in Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme service by following our simple four-step procedure:
Before we begin any work, we will always meet with you to discuss key aspects of the job, any problem areas you perceive, any preferences in treatment you may have and generally keeping you in the loop as to how we plan to conduct the job.
After all necessary preparations have been made, the team will arrive at the job on the agreed date and begin with steam cleaning the surface to remove as many pollutants as possible. The more we can remove at this stage, the fewer chemicals we will have to use later in the cleaning process. This is a much kinder environmental approach.
Using water-fed poles, the team will begin applying the biocide solution to the face of the render, particularly scrubbing areas with algae or lichen growth still remaining. This Biocide solution kills all organic spores still present on the render after the steam cleaning. Removing all traces of organic pollutants makes recolonisation much harder for algae and lichen. The render will stay clean longer than if a steam clean alone is the cleaning method applied.
Once all work has been successfully completed, we will conduct a final consultation with you to discuss your satisfaction with the result, any issues we encountered and suggestions to increase the life of the clean. This aftercare service is emblematic of what sets our render cleaning service in Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme apart, our flexibility and communication with our customers.
If you have any render-related issues, don’t hesitate to contact Exterior Cleaning Pros at 07421 223460 and enquire about our render cleaning service in Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme.

Our process
Safe, Soft wash render cleaning process
Initial Survey & Patch Test
I will visit, or you can send clear photos on email. I always carry out a small test patch in a discreet area. This shows you the result, and it shows me how your render will react. You see there is no guesswork is involved.
Protection and First Treatment
We cover plants, protect windows and soak surrounding areas. I apply the first biocide treatment to break down the green film, black lichen and red algae. We let it dwell. This does the cleaning, not pressure.
Gentle Rinse & Second Treatment
I rinse with low pressure, at a controlled temperature. For stubborn black spots I apply a second, targeted treatment. You will see the colour return as we work, without any damage to the render surface.
Final Walk-Around and Aftercare
We pack away, rinse paths and leave the site tidy. I will show you the completed work and give you simple advice to keep it looking good. For most homes, a light maintenance wash every 18 months keeps it perfect.
What do you get with me
High-pressure washing forces water into your walls, causing damp. I use a controlled soft-wash method that cleans deeply without the damage.
Many render cleaners skip this. I don't. It ensures the biocides used are legal, safe, and effective for your specific property type.
I know inviting a contractor onto your property is a leap of faith. That's why I pride myself on punctuality, tidiness, and respect for your space.
Damp and shade encourage algae. My treatment plan accounts for this, ensuring your render stays cleaner for longer despite the weather.

FAQ
Render Cleaning FAQ's
Will soft washing damage my K-Rend?
No. This is why you hire a specialist. K-Rend, Weber and other manufacturers advise against pressure washing. My system uses pressure lower than a garden hose. It cleans by killing the growth, not by blasting the surface.
How long will my render stay clean?
In South Manchester, a full soft wash and biocide treatment will typically keep your render clear for three to four years. North facing elevations may need a light top-up sooner. I offer a maintenance plan for this.
Is the chemical safe for my garden and pets?
Yes, when applied by a certified user. I hold PA1 and PA6 qualifications for safe application. I pre-wet all plants, cover sensitive shrubs, and neutralise the area after.
Can you remove the black spots completely?
The small black lichen dots are the hardest part of render cleaning. My treatment kills them at the root. They usually fade completely over two to four weeks after we leave, as the wind and rain clears the dead growth. I will show you this on the test patch.
Do you need scaffolding?
For most two storey homes, no. I use professional water-fed poles and low level access equipment. For three storey townhouses in the city centre or awkward areas, I can arrange a cherry picker and it will be included in your quote.
Is render cleaning worth it compared to repainting?
In the majority of cases, yes — significantly. A professional render clean typically costs a fraction of a full repaint, and on a render in good structural condition the result is comparable in terms of appearance. We can advise honestly on this during the assessment.
