How Much Does Render Cleaning Cost?

Well there are a lot of factors considered and how high is the building is the main one. We need to determine can it be accessed from the ground around it or do we need to use scaffolding, access MEWP or other?

Apart from that, what needs cleaning off? Is it man made, like graffiti, paint, rust or other metal stains? Is it organic, like cyanobacteria, moss, lichens and moulds?

As a general guide  a standard modern built home could cost between £1,200 and £2,600 to treat and clean the infestation from the render.

Larger office and apartment buildings could cost between £5.75 and £8.75 per square meter plus add on any access costs.

Also beware of other costs which may need adding on. Is there a water supply in the form of an outside tap or will water need to be brought in?

Waste water collection MUST be factored into any building cleaning project as waste water is not allowed to enter storm drains. A huge fine for the building owners and cleaning contractors is likely. Therefore  a way to collect and dispose of waste water must be added – typically between £1600 and £2600 per week!

Prevent exterior wall damage by using Purple Rhino’s specialist render cleaning services.

Weather, pollution and other environmental factors can cause significant damage to a building’s rendered surfaces.

Moss growth, algae and pollution can cause serious damage if left untreated. Our skilled team of professionals will expertly rejuvenate your building’s exterior.

Reversing the ageing process

New buildings are certainly impressive but, over time, rendering becomes dull as pollutants, moss and algae take hold, leaving the building stained, dirty and tired-looking. We can reverse this ageing with a safe and highly-effective outdoor cleaning process, using the latest tools and techniques to gently remove dirt and build-up.

Since our launch, we have established a strong reputation for effectively removing moss and algae from a number of rendered surfaces on commercial, industrial, educational and residential properties. The benefits of correct render cleaning cannot be underestimated. For your render cleaning project, choose a reputable company who can demonstrate they have successfully undertaken render cleaning projects similar to yours.

Softwashing

We use Greenwash which has anti-microbial properties to keep render looking clean and fresh, up to 4-6 times longer.

The process starts by treating outside walls before commencing a thorough clean of the render using our specialist softwashing equipment to gently remove stains, marks and algae.

Before

After

Removal of algae and moss from through coloured renders isn’t as straightforward as it may appear. Many building owners place their trust in local builders or commercial contractors to undertake the remedial works but without the correct expertise this can prove to be a costly mistake.

Different types of render, should be appropriately treated before any cleaning work begins, effectively killing off spores to prevent regrowth. Once the render surface has been suitably prepared we then apply steam under low pressure to gently remove any algae which remains after the treatment while also lifting away dirt and pollutants. Once the render has been cleaned properly you are left with a surface which is bright, clean and fully restored with no damage to the render.

Why not just paint it?

Painting over dirty render may (very) temporarily improve its appearance, but after a very short time indeed, the dirt, staining, moss, lichen and mould in particular will work it’s way through the paint; causing it to blister and flake away.

You still need to clean it before painting it.

Then there’s the added problem of removing the paint before you can even consider cleaning the render. Not to mention that painting over render is often more expensive and time-consuming than having it cleaned by trained specialists, such as Purple Rhino.

Additionally, the painting process can seal moisture into the render and prevent it from ‘breathing’. This can cause the render itself to fail and come away from the building in chunks. The only remedy to this is an expensive re-render.

How to clean exterior rendered walls

Depending on the structure of the building and brand of type of render you want to clean. You can reach and clean the render using either high reach carbon fibre telescopic poles or perhaps specialised softwashing equipment.

Water-fed pole method

Prepare the delivery machine with the right amount of render cleaning solution. Connect the water fed pole to the Render Cleaning Machine, then start brushing the solution onto the rendered wall from the bottom and work your way up to the top. Allow the render cleaning solution to dwell for a short time of about fifteen minutes and then rinse with clean fresh water.

You MUST ALWAYS wear appropriate PPE when carrying out render cleaning activities.

Using soft washing equipment

This technique can be used where access is difficult or high level hard to reach surfaces. You may need to use an elevated work platform (cherry picker) which should be operated by a competent person. The low pressure softwashing systems pumps will deliver an even flow of softwashing mixture to the required areas. Some carbon staining on the render may need additional equipment such as a low pressure steam cleaner to remove them effectively. Carbon staining on render is usually seen at the top of the rendered wall just underneath the parapet.

Our rendering cleaner systems offer longer-lasting results, guaranteed!

We strongly advise NOT to use pressure washers to clean render.

K-Rend render when Softwashed leaves the K-Rend sparkly and new looking. The same can be said for Monocouche, Parex, Weber and all other types of through coloured renders.

We also offer a FREE sample clean service AFTER you have had your building cleaned by a pressure washing company. Simply call us and we will come and treat an area of about two to three square metres. In the following months and years, you will see, the area we treated will still be perfectly clean, whereas the rendered surfaces which have been pressure washed will quickly regrow thicker organic matter growth making your building look worse than before it was pressure washed cleaned.
