Safe, low-pressure cleaning that removes unsightly red, green, and black algae. Restore your home’s original finish without the risk of cracking or damaging delicate render.
At Taylor-Duncan Exterior Cleaning, we know that render requires a specialist touch. Whether your home is finished with K-Rend, Monocouche, or traditional sand and cement, using high pressure can lead to permanent scarring or water ingress. We utilise a “Soft Washing” approach—combining low-pressure water with professional-grade cleaning solutions—to gently lift dirt and kill organic growth. This method is specifically designed to treat the “bleeding” effect caused by algae without compromising the structural integrity of your walls.
We don’t just wash the surface; we sanitise it. By treating the render at a cellular level, we ensure the results last much longer than a standard wash. Our goal is to take your property from tired and stained back to its original commercial appearance, providing you with a home you can be proud of.
Render is a porous material that acts as a breeding ground for organic matter. Professional maintenance is the only way to ensure its longevity.

Yes. By using a combination of low-pressure power washing and specialised cleaning solutions (otherwise known as soft washing), we can easily remove dirt and grime from a property’s walls. We never use high pressure, as this can crack or “fleece” the render surface.
A professional clean usually lasts around 2 to 3 years before it needs to be repeated. However, this depends heavily on environmental factors surrounding your home, such as nearby trees, humidity levels, and how much sunlight the walls receive.
No. Because we use a low-pressure soft washing system specifically designed for delicate substrates, your render is perfectly safe. High-pressure washing is what causes damage; our method is the industry-recommended way to clean modern through-colour renders.
Price is generally dependent on the size of the property, the condition of the render, and access requirements. Typical prices (including materials) are:
If you are enquiring about render cleaning, it always helps to include a recent photograph of your house. This allows us to assess the level of soiling (heavy soiling means longer dwell time for chemicals) and any specific access issues like height or narrow walkways.
We only use chemicals with your permission and after a thorough risk assessment. We use pre-blended, approved chemicals from the UK’s leading suppliers. These are highly effective at killing algae but are used responsibly to ensure the safety of your property.
No, you don’t need to be home—and many of our customers prefer to be at work while we complete the job. As long as we have access to the areas needing treatment and any side gates are unlocked, we can complete the work. Our van is equipped with a 650-litre water tank, allowing us to be fully self-sufficient for power and water. We will always send you before and after photographs once the job is complete so you can see the transformation immediately.
We take immense pride in our work. If you’re not completely happy with any aspect of the cleaning, please let us know and we’ll return as soon as possible to address it at no extra cost. We don’t want payment until you are completely happy!
