Accredited & Qualified Cleaners
Our skilled team hold industry-recognised qualifications in rendering cleaning. We follow best practice guidelines to ensure the cleaning is highly effective while remaining gentle on the render. The process is designed to restore the walls without causing damage or deterioration to the rendered surface.
Softwash Render cleaning – thorough and safe
When it comes to cleaning external walls finished with decorative renders, soft washing is the preferred technique. Jet washing may seem like the quickest option, but this high-pressure approach risks permanently damaging the render finish. Small cracks and holes can form, allowing further dirt ingress and spoiling the surface appearance.
Soft washing provides a deep clean without putting the render at risk. Our experts use bespoke low-pressure equipment and chemical solutions that lift away ingrained dirt and stains without eroding the rendered facade. It is a slower process than brute force jet washing, but the results speak for themselves.
How do we clean render?
Our meticulous process involves several critical steps completed by our experienced operatives:
- Pre-treat any heavily soiled areas with a specialist render cleaning product to break down stubborn grime and algae. This is left to dwell.
- Using a low-pressure soft wash system (200-500 psi), thoroughly rinse the walls from top to bottom to remove loose dirt and debris. Slow, steady movements are essential to lift contamination without marking the render.
- Apply our bespoke bleach-free render cleaning solution with a foam lance at low pressure. This clings to the walls to break down remaining algae, moss and stains on the porous surface.
- Leave the cleaner to work for 5-10 minutes before slowly rinsing at a 45-degree angle. We rinse from the bottom up to avoid drips streaking the newly cleaned lower sections.
- Any remaining stubborn stains are spot treated and re-rinsed. Our experts inspect the whole facade closely to ensure every area is noticed.
- Once thoroughly cleaned, the render is left to dry naturally before applying a protective render sealant if required.
This soft wash process reliably restores dirty render walls to a like-new finish. A second application of the render cleaner may be required for heavily soiled properties.

We provide professional cleaning for all forms of external render walls, including:

What does exterior rendering do?
Rendering the outside walls of a property provides multiple benefits:
- Aesthetics – Render gives a consistent and attractive finish in various colours and textures. It creates a smooth, fresh facade.
- Weatherproofing – The thick render coating seals the masonry surface from moisture and wind. This helps prevent damp issues.
- Insulation – Render provides thermal insulation, which improves interior warmth and reduces heating bills.
- Protects Walls – The render shields exterior bricks and wall substrates from wind, rain and frost damage. It prevents cracks and deterioration.
- Low Maintenance – Properly applied and cleaned render only needs occasional washing to keep it looking pristine for decades.
- Added Property Value – Rendering can significantly enhance kerb appeal. Properties with rendered facades tend to sell for higher prices.
Main maintenance issues with outdoor rendered facades
While a quality render finish is resilient and long-lasting, three main maintenance issues can occur over time:
Dirt and Grime Build Up
Like any surface exposed to the elements, render will accumulate dirt, dust, pollution, spider droppings and other grime. This causes discolouration and black spotting.
Mould, Algae and Plant Growth
Algae, lichens, and moss can establish themselves in the porous render surface in damp, shaded areas. This appears as dark green, black or orange patches. Ivy roots can also penetrate and damage rendering.
Weather Damage
Prolonged exposure to wind, rain, frost and UV rays can erode the top layer of the render. Hairline cracks may form. Badly weather-damaged render may need extensive repairs.
Regular professional cleaning is the best way to prevent these issues and keep rendered walls looking their best. Our soft washing techniques deep clean without further damaging the surface.

Why use only professional render cleaning companies?
What is the Process?
Our professional render cleaners assess each job to determine the optimal cleaning method. While low-pressure soft washing is generally the best practice, stubborn cases may first require chemical pre-treatment.
Soft Washing
Using advanced equipment, soft washing directs water at the walls with enough pressure to lift dirt without damaging the render. This delicate yet highly effective approach removes grime without leaving any traces or streaks.
Jet Washing
We avoid excessive jet washing, which risks eroding the surface. However, a localised high-pressure rinse may be required for very ingrained dirt. This is done with great care by our experienced operators.
Render Cleaning Solution
To break down organic stains, we apply a specialist non-bleach render cleaner. This clings to walls, unlike general pressure washer chemicals. It is left to dwell and then rinsed away for spotless results.
Biocide or Algae Cleaner
For stubborn algae or moss, a biocide wash kills off and removes the growth. This prevents regrowth. Any chemical is neutralised to be safe for the environment.
Fungal Cleaners
Where mould or mildew has taken hold, we utilise professional fungicidal washes. These eliminate fungal growths at their root.
Reapplying the Render
If cleaning reveals areas needing localised render repairs, we can arrange for our rendering division to restore the surface.
Dangers of Diy Render Cleaning
While DIY render cleaning may seem like a money saver, the risks are:
- It damages the render through excessive jet washing. This can be costly to repair.
- Using chemicals that bleach or permanently stain the walls.
- Failing to kill and remove algae and moss altogether leads to rapid regrowth.
- They are not neutralising residual chemicals which harm the render and environment.
- We are leaving drips and streaks which look unsightly and attract more dirt.
Our professional standard equipment, methods and expertise deliver far superior results without these risks. For a pristine render that stays cleaner for longer, call DMC-FM.co.uk. Here is the second half of the 1,500-word article on render cleaning in Milton Keynes:
Why Render Cleaning is Important
While render creates an attractive, low-maintenance finish for exterior walls, the porous material is still vulnerable to environmental damage over time. Without proper cleaning, the render can become permanently stained, covered in algae and moss, or begin to crack and crumble.
Regular professional cleaning provides enormous benefits:
Restores Original Appearance
Our soft wash process restores the original colour and vibrancy, no matter how dirty the rendered surface. The walls look pristine once more, improving kerb appeal.
Protects Render
By removing damaging grime and contaminants, render cleaning helps prevent deterioration of the finish. Keeping the facade clean protects its structural integrity.
Kills & Prevents Mold Growth
Specialist biocides applied during our process kill any existing algae and moss. This prevents further spreading and reoccurrence.
Improves Air Quality
Removing pollution, dirt, and organic growth from exterior walls improves the surrounding air quality. This creates a healthier environment.
Safeguards Property Value
Clean render ensures your property always looks its best, protecting resale value. Homes with dirty, damaged rendering lose appeal and value.
Increased Energy Efficiency
As render can insulate walls, keeping it clean optimises this effect. Removing grime enhances thermal performance and reduces energy costs.
Extends Maintenance Cycles
Professional cleaning removes contaminants that accelerate render damage. This significantly extends the time between future cleans to save money.
Improves First Impressions
Clean walls make a great first impression on visitors. Dirty rendering has the opposite effect, giving a negative image.
Regular professional render cleaning in Milton Keynes provides all these benefits and more. Protect your investment and contact us today.
How Often to Clean Render
Render should be cleaned whenever it appears dirty, discoloured or has substantial algae growth. As a general guideline, we recommend:
- Domestic homes – every 2-3 years
- Commercial premises – every 1-2 years
- Highly polluted city areas – every year
More frequent cleaning is needed for north-facing walls prone to mould growth. Likewise, trees hanging over walls will cause more rapid algae and dirt buildup, requiring annual cleaning.
It is far easier and more affordable to clean and render in good condition than waiting years until the grime is ingrained and moss/algae have taken hold.
Spot Repairs
During inspection and cleaning, our technicians will identify any cracked, hollow or damaged render areas needing repair. We offer professional spot repairs to restore the integrity of the rendered surface.
Repairs are matched closely to the existing finish. We rake out faulty render, then replace it with fresh material, scanned for an exact colour and texture match. Our expert team will repair the blend seamlessly with the cleaned facade.
Major rendering defects or wall problems needing full re-rendering should be addressed before cleaning. Please inform us of any underlying issues so we can tailor the service accordingly.

Render Cleaning Equipment

- Softwash Systems – Specialist low-pressure softwashers provide a deep clean without risk of damage. Various nozzles adapt to all wall areas.
- Pure Water Supply – Using purified water prevents mineral spotting on walls post-cleaning.
- Telescopic Poles – For tall walls, telescopic poles fitted with brush heads allow us to clean up to 40ft safely from the ground.
- Chemical Foam Lance – This applies to our high-cling cleaning solutions evenly across the render surface.
- Scrubber Brushes – Soft tampico brushes gently agitate the render to lift ingrained dirt from the textured surface.
- Rinse Capture Units – These vacuum up used water during rinsing to keep the site clean and prevent chemical runoff.
Our specialised proprietary equipment makes render cleaning more effective and reliable. Harsh DIY pressure washers cannot match our professional results.
Render Cleaning Chemicals
To break down organic stains and kill algae, we use industry-leading chemicals tailored specifically to external render cleaning:
- Bleach-Free Formula – Our cleaner is powerful yet won’t bleach or discolour exterior walls.
- Biocides – We apply a biocidal pre-treatment to kill any existing moss, mould or algae.
- Low-Alkaline – With a pH similar to render, our chemicals will not negatively react with the surface.
- Rinses Clean – Solutions are designed to rinse away, leaving walls residue-free thoroughly. No staining occurs.
- Environmentally Responsible – Our detergents biodegrade quickly and are safe for plants and pets once rinsed thoroughly.
We take great care using only proven, effective chemicals approved for render cleaning work. Harsh bleach or acid solutions often used by homeowners can irreparably damage rendered walls.
