How do you clean K-Rend?

Soft wash only. Apply a sodium-hypochlorite based biocide at low pressure, let it dwell, then rinse with pure water at low pressure. Never use a jet wash, it ruins the silicone finish and opens the surface to water.

Can you clean monocouche render?

Yes, same soft-wash method as K-Rend, with biocide dilution tuned for the through-coloured surface. Pressure washing monocouche pulls colour out and shows immediately.

How much does render cleaning cost?

Most semi-detached homes are £180,£450 depending on render area and access. Detached homes with full wraps run £450,£900.

Will the algae come back?

Most properties stay clean for 3,5 years. Shaded, north-facing or tree-lined walls are quicker to regrow, we offer a top-up biocide spray every 2 years on a maintenance plan.

Will it damage my windows or plants?

No. The biocide is plant-safe at our dilution; window frames and gutters are rinsed clear before we finish.

We are on a septic tank, is the treatment safe?

Yes. We select biocides appropriate for properties on septic systems and manage run-off away from the soakaway.

Do you cover the surrounding villages?

Yes, Stockton, Napton, Long Itchington and Bishop's Itchington are all covered on Southam pricing.

Rural-village friendly, long drives, big patios, septic-safe biocides.

render cleaning in Southam, what we actually find here

The housing round here. Small market town with stone and brick cottages at the centre, post-war semis, and a lot of larger rural and village property out towards Stockton, Napton and Long Itchington.

Why Southam exteriors get dirty. Long rural drives, farm dust and heavy tree cover, so drives here are usually bigger and dirtier than the town average and gutters fill faster in autumn.

Access and pricing. Many properties out here are on septic systems or drain to soakaways, so we use biocides suitable for that and control where the run-off goes.

Covering CV47, including Stockton, Long Itchington, Napton, Bishop's Itchington.

Why professional render cleaning matters

Modern thin-coat render, K-Rend, Weber, Parex, Wetherby, is sensitive. Pressure washing scours it, opens the surface to water ingress and ruins the finish. The right method is soft wash: a biocide that kills the algae and red lichen at root, followed by a gentle rinse. The render returns to its original colour over a few weeks as rain carries the dead growth away.
