Our soft washing services
Soft washing across the UK: low-pressure biocide cleaning for render, roofs, cladding, brick, stone and fascias that kills algae, mould and lichen at the root.
Render soft washing
Render soft washing is the low-pressure cleaning of rendered walls with a biocide solution that kills algae, mould and lichen, then rinses away the dead growth. It is for homeowners and landlords with green, black or orange staining on render. In the UK, a typical terraced or semi-detached house usually costs £300 to £600 and a detached house £600 to £1,100.
Roof soft washing
Roof soft washing is the low-pressure treatment of roof tiles or slates with a biocide that kills moss, lichen and algae, with loose moss cleared and the roof rinsed gently. It is for homeowners whose roofs are green, black or matted with moss. In the UK, roof soft washing usually costs £400 to £800 for a semi-detached house and £600 to £1,000 or more for a detached house.
Cladding and fascia cleaning
Cladding and fascia cleaning uses low-pressure soft washing to remove green algae, black streaks and grime from uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and composite or timber cladding. It is for homeowners, landlords and businesses whose roofline or cladding looks dull or stained. In the UK, cleaning the outside of fascias, soffits and gutters on a typical house usually costs £100 to £300.
Brick and stone cleaning
Brick and stone soft washing removes algae, mould, lichen and organic staining from brickwork and natural stone using a biocide at low pressure, so the face of the masonry and the pointing are not eroded. It suits homeowners with green or black stained walls and older or soft masonry. In the UK, prices are typically £4 to £8 per m², or about £300 to £1,100 for a house.
Walls, fences and outbuildings
Soft washing walls, fences and outbuildings means cleaning garden and boundary walls, fences, garages, sheds and summerhouses with a low-pressure biocide that kills algae and mould. It suits homeowners who want the whole property to match after the house is cleaned. In the UK, garden walls, fences or outbuildings usually cost £100 to £400 depending on size.
Commercial soft washing
Commercial soft washing is low-pressure biocide cleaning of the exterior of shops, offices, blocks of flats, schools and industrial units, planned around access, working hours and occupants. It is for managing agents, landlords and business owners. UK pricing is usually by area at around £4 to £8 per m², with access equipment such as cherry pickers adding to the cost.
