Your Local Render Cleaning Service For St Albans

Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in providing expert exterior cleaning services across St Albans. Recently, a client approached us with a challenging issue involving their delicate render finish, which had become severely affected by red algae, giving the appearance that the render was bleeding. This unattractive problem greatly impacted the original beauty of the render. This report details how we revitalized their render using our softwashing technique.

Obstacles Faced

• Red Algae Infestation: The customized render was heavily infested with red algae, causing a streaky red effect.

• Delicate Surface: Pressure washing was not an option as it would damage the delicate silicon-based render.

• Vegetation Protection: The area around the render contained delicate landscaping that needed protection from the cleaning solution.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we carried out a detailed inspection to determine the best cleaning strategy and formulate our approach. We then provided the customer with a detailed proposal and cost estimate, which the customer accepted. Here’s a summary of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We looked over the render and the surrounding area to understand the full scope of the problem. We discussed our gentle cleaning method and provided a free quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of service, we set up our equipment and took necessary precautions to ensure environmental safety.

3. Vegetation Protection: Before starting the cleaning process, we wet down the surrounding vegetation to minimize the risk of any chemical contact. In areas where needed, we set up protective coverings between the cleaning area and the vegetation.

4. Softwashing Application: Using our gentle washing tools, we applied an eco-friendly cleaner to the rendered wall. This solution is safe for delicate renders yet powerful against algae and stains. Within about an hour of treatment, the render began to return to its natural appearance.

5. Second Treatment and Longevity Application: In some areas, a additional soft wash was necessary to reach maximum effectiveness. Additionally, the customer opted for an long-term treatment to provide long-lasting protection against organic contaminants. This was applied after the cleaning process to keep the render in pristine condition over time.

6. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After finishing the project, we asked the customer to inspect the render. They were extremely pleased with the results and the restoration of their property’s look. The customer approved the results, showing appreciation for our work.

Outcome

The change was remarkable. The red algae infestation was completely removed, renewing the render’s beauty. The additional biocide treatment provided the render with protection against future organic growth, ensuring it stays clean over time.
