What Is Render Cleaning?
Render cleaning by Aero Sight involves using gentle soft washing techniques to clean rendered surfaces. We use low-pressure washing combined with specialist cleaning agents to remove biological growths like algae and lichen.
Our method incorporates biodegradable detergents approved to British Standards, ensuring minimal environmental impact while effectively breaking down impurities. We also employ tools like telescopic poles for access to hard-to-reach areas without scaffolding.
This process extends the life of the render while enhancing its appearance. Our approach is suitable for various render types, including acrylic, silicone, and monocouche renders, ensuring consistent results.
We focus on properties such as residential homes, commercial buildings, and public facilities, accommodating each client's specific needs. Render cleaning typically fits into maintenance schedules annually or bi-annually, depending on the building's exposure to environmental elements.

What Types of Render Cleaning Are Available?
We offer several render cleaning techniques, tailored to different material types and surface conditions, ensuring each approach is suited to specific client needs. Our team works on properties ranging from residential homes to commercial buildings.
Soft Washing: Low-pressure cleaning with eco-friendly detergents, such as sodium hypochlorite, to remove stains and algae effectively. This method conserves the integrity of delicate surfaces like painted renders and is suitable for heritage properties where preservation is key.
Pressure Washing: High-pressure water jets that effectively remove more stubborn dirt and grime, suited to durable surfaces such as brick and concrete. We use equipment calibrated to the appropriate bar pressure to prevent damage to the render layer.
Chemical Cleaning: Application of specialised chemicals, including biocides and degreasers, to break down difficult stains like oil or graffiti. This method is ideal for industrial locations with high levels of pollutants.
Each method is compliant with UK safety standards, ensuring both effective cleaning and the protection of surfaces. Our expert team assesses each site to determine the most effective solution.

Which Render Cleaning Option Is Best?
Choosing the best render cleaning method depends on the surface and the extent of contamination as well as other specific factors, such as location and environmental conditions.
Soft washing is ideal for delicate or painted surfaces to avoid damage. This method uses low pressure and specialised cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt and algae without harming the substrate.
Pressure washing handles stubborn grime on robust surfaces. It involves the use of equipment like rotary surface cleaners, delivering water at pressures ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 psi, effectively dealing with large-scale commercial properties.
Chemical cleaning effectively removes deep-seated organic matter. We use biodegradable agents that target mildew, mould, and lichen, ensuring environmentally friendly treatment.
For listed buildings or heritage sites, we conduct an assessment to adhere to conservation standards.
Consult us to identify the most suitable cleaning method for your property.
What Does Render Cleaning Work On?
Render cleaning is effective on all types of render, including monocouche, silicone, acrylic, and cement-based render. These materials, commonly used in commercial properties, residential buildings, and industrial facilities, can accumulate pollutants over time.
Our process targets issues such as discolouration caused by pollution, mould, and algae, ensuring the building façade maintains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. We typically use gentle chemical solutions and low-pressure washing techniques that conform to industry standards like ISO 9001 for quality management, to remove contaminants without harming the render itself.
Furthermore, regular maintenance can extend the render's lifespan and improve resistance to external elements. However, it should not be used on surfaces that are already significantly damaged or cracking, as these require repair first.
Our specialist team is ready to assess your property and recommend the most suitable approach. Contact us to learn more about how we can enhance the appearance of your building.
When Is Render Cleaning Needed?
Render cleaning is typically required every 1–2 years or when visible signs of algae, staining, or discolouration appear. These growths can diminish the external appearance of buildings, particularly residential properties and commercial spaces facing the public.
Areas with high humidity levels or those located near dense foliage often experience faster organic growth, necessitating more frequent cleaning.
We frequently recommend soft washing techniques, which use low-pressure water and biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove contaminants without damaging the render. Moreover, using pressure washers in combination with soft brushes can effectively treat tougher stains.
Regular maintenance not only preserves kerb appeal but also safeguards the render from structural damage, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of the building's exterior. By scheduling routine checks, property owners can ensure issues like mould and mildew do not compromise building integrity.
How Does Render Cleaning Work?
Here is the render cleaning process we follow at Aero Sight:
Inspection: We assess the render type and condition. Our evaluation includes determining the specific material, such as acrylic, silicone, or mineral render, which helps us choose the right cleaning approach and products.
Pre-treatment: We apply a cleaning solution to break down algae, moss, and pollution stains. This solution is typically eco-friendly and biodegradable, ensuring minimal environmental impact while effectively loosening residues.
Cleaning: We use soft washing or other appropriate techniques to remove contaminants. Soft washing involves low-pressure application of cleaning mixes, preventing damage to delicate render surfaces. For tougher grime, we might use a mild pressure wash, employing equipment set to comply with industry safety standards.
Rinse: We thoroughly rinse the surface to eliminate cleaning residues. This step ensures no residues are left which could affect render appearance or longevity, improving the aesthetic and structural integrity of the building.
If you're and interested in our render cleaning services, please contact us for more information.
How Long Does Render Cleaning Take?
Render cleaning typically takes 2–4 hours per building, depending on the size and degree of soiling. Additional time may be required for drying, which usually takes 24 hours.
The extent of algae and other fungi present often dictates the need for specialised treatments, such as soft washing, using biocidal solutions. We employ mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) for efficient access to higher areas, ensuring that every inch of the render is thoroughly cleaned.
Moreover, our use of low-pressure washing equipment helps protect the integrity of delicate surfaces. Our experienced team is equipped to handle projects ranging from small residential properties to large commercial buildings, adhering to established safety standards throughout.
We complete most projects promptly, causing minimal disruption. Contact us to schedule a consultation and obtain a personalised estimate tailored to your property’s specific needs.

How Much Does Render Cleaning Cost?
The cost of render cleaning typically ranges from £200 to £600, influenced by building size, render type, and soiling level. During our initial site inspection, we evaluate factors such as accessibility, the presence of algae or mould, and the surface texture to determine the cleaning method required.
We employ techniques like soft washing, which gently removes contaminants without damaging the surface, and pressure washing for more stubborn grime. We also consider the type of render — acrylic, monocouche, or cement-based — as each requires different cleaning agents and techniques.
For properties adhering to specific environmental standards, we use eco-friendly detergents to minimise impact. Exact quotes are provided after this comprehensive evaluation, ensuring transparent pricing based on specific needs.
