About our Durham service
Durham is a small historic cathedral city on a loop of the River Wear, dominated by its World Heritage cathedral and castle and by a large collegiate university and student population. We know the area well: we handle soft washing on behalf of homeowners, landlords, managing agents and commercial property owners across Durham, from Framwellgate Moor, Newton Hall and Belmont.
We handle soft washing for homeowners, landlords, managing agents and commercial property owners in Durham regularly. Jobs are done properly, at a clear price and completed when agreed.
Typical properties here include Georgian and Victorian terraces, former colliery cottages, semis and student lets, and each quote takes into account the building, access and when you need it done.
Many Durham homeowners choose soft washing over pressure washing after seeing how high pressure can mark render and wash out pointing.
With older brick terraces, coastal properties and plenty of commercial and industrial sites, County Durham has a wide range of surfaces that suit low-pressure soft washing, from render and brick to stone and cladding.

How quickly can you start in Durham?
Most Durham enquiries get a reply the same day, and most jobs can be scheduled within one to two weeks. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.
Can soft washing damage windows or paintwork?
Not when the solution is used at the right strength and windows, frames and painted surfaces are rinsed down. We pre-wet and rinse sensitive surfaces and protect areas that could be marked.
Before you book: a quick Durham checklist
- Take photos of each side of the property, the roof and any outbuildings you want cleaned
- Note the type of surface, such as silicone render, painted render, brick, stone or concrete tiles
- Ask which product will be used on your surface and request the safety data sheet
- Confirm the work will be done at low pressure, not with a pressure washer on render or roofs
- Ask how plants, lawns, ponds and windows will be protected
