Why Alford houses need render cleaning more than most

Alford sits on the eastern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a little higher than the flat towns to the south, so it catches more of the weather. Rain from the east and north brings field dust with it, plus a bit of salt from the coast about 8 miles away, and that builds up on drives and render. The Victorian market buildings and the old Wolds farmhouses around the town grow heavy moss and lichen, and houses on the coast side of town get some salt as well.

Signs your Alford render needs a clean

Render in Alford goes green like it does in most Wolds-edge towns. Clay soil blown off the farmland gives algae something to feed on, and render usually needs treating every two to three years.

βœ—
When green streaks appear
Rain off the roof carries algae down the wall, so pale render ends up with green stripes below the eaves.
βœ—
Dark patches that spread
Black algae starts as a few spots and then spreads a bit wider every year if nobody treats it.
βœ—
Lichen penetration
Lichen grips render tightly, and if you leave it long enough it works its way into the surface.
βœ—
Jet washing goes wrong
A pressure washer can rip the top coat off render, and once that's gone you can't put it back.

Our render cleaning in Alford

We soft wash all the usual render types around Alford, including K-Rend, pebbledash, smooth finishes and painted walls.

K-Rend and monocouche
Through-coloured render gets a soft wash with products made for it, so the colour isn't harmed.
Pebbledash cleaning
Pebbledash is cleaned at low pressure so the algae comes off but the stones stay put.
Smooth render
Smooth and painted render gets a gentle soft wash, since it marks.
Lime and older render
Period houses with lime render need a lighter hand and biocides that suit older walls.
Biocide treatment
After the clean we can apply a longer-lasting treatment, so regrowth is much slower.
Sealing if you want it
An optional sealer goes on after cleaning, and then the render stays cleaner for longer.

How render cleaning in Alford works

1
Render assessment
First we check what your render is made of, then tell you how we'd clean it.
2
Soft-wash application
Then the cleaning solution goes on at low pressure, so the render isn't at risk.
3
Rinse it all off
Before we finish, we rinse away any leftover treatment and neutralise whatever is still working.
4
Biocide protection
Finally a long-acting biocide goes on the clean wall, so the growth doesn't come straight back.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do you cover properties on the Lincolnshire Wolds around Alford?
A: Yes. We cover Alford and the Wolds villages around it, including Bilsby, Well, Beesby and Maltby le Marsh. We’re used to the extra weather that houses on the higher, more open ground get.
Q: Will a pressure washer damage my render?
A: It can, because high pressure strips the outer layer. So we use a soft wash instead, which suits every render type.
Q: How long before the algae comes back?
A: With a biocide treatment most render stays clean for 2–4 years, although north-facing or shaded walls may need it sooner.
Q: Can you clean K-Rend on a newer house?
A: Yes. We use products and methods made for K-Rend and the other modern monocouche systems.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
