Softwashing Render in Leeds is one of our most popular services. K Rend , Parex, and Weber are common finishes to clients looking for the modern clean look. While they are low maintenance , they still need to be cleaned periodically. The main requirement is basically to disinfect the walls meaning the algae dies off and detaches. Algae will grow in dark damp places, especially in our mild wet climate. The algae will generally not harm the walls but will look unsightly as black ,green, and even red stains form. These will be removed with chemicals and not damage the substrate. A very light pressure wash with a wide fan tip may also aid results in cases where soiling is heavy.
What do we use ?
Algoclear Pro is the professionals choice and has been used for years on major projects throughout the world. It has been extensively developed to give the longest results possible. It is biodegradable and licensed to use as a hard surface cleaner. We do have to take precautions while spraying if any pets are on the premises as paws could be affected. Flowers and foliage can be rinsed off or sheeted up if overspray is an issue.
How long does it last ?
We usually ask the client – When was the surface installed ? In other words , if it took 4 years to get this bad then you could reasonably expect a similar time frame to see signs of re growth. Although we would expect longer as the walls will have had no treatment when installed. Small problem areas that are constantly subject to rain water run off will show the first signs of algae growth. We can offer regular spot treatments on these, when treating the whole wall is not practical.
