Breathe New Life Into Your Walls – Professional Render & Exterior Wall Cleaning That Works
The discolouration on rendered walls is typically caused by organic growth, such as algae, lichen, and fungus. While this growth is unsightly, it can also trap moisture against the surface, potentially leading to damp and long-term degradation.
Robin Ray Exterior Cleaning treats the root cause. Our specialised softwashing process safely kills and removes this growth, restoring your property's appearance and protecting your render. The result is a 'like-new' finish, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive redecoration.
Why Exterior Wall Cleaning Is More Than Just Cosmetic
What looks like dirt is actually a living biofilm — colonies of algae, lichen and mould that feed on your rendered or painted walls. Left untreated, these growths can shorten the lifespan of your surfaces and lead to cracks, moisture retention, and even structural damage.
Robin Ray Ltd uses a low-pressure softwash system to eliminate this growth at the root. It’s safer than pressure washing and is recommended by render manufacturers like K Rend and Webber. It can make walls look like new in just one day.

Tailored Cleaning for Every Wall Surface
Render isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we assess every property before cleaning. Whether you have K Rend, monocouche, silicone, cement, painted render, or pebbledash, we choose the safest, most effective method.
We offer several render cleaning options: Instant Clean, Slow Clean, and Clean & Protect, all designed to meet different needs, surface types, and budgets. We can also apply preventative treatments to help your walls stay cleaner for longer. For peace of mind, test patches are available so you know exactly what to expect.
FAQs – Render & Wall Cleaning Explained
What is softwashing?
Softwashing uses specialist solutions with low-pressure water to safely remove algae, lichen, and dirt from walls without surface damage.
Is it better than pressure washing for render?
Yes. Pressure washing can erode render. Softwashing cleans deeply and gently while helping to prevent regrowth.
Do I need to repaint after cleaning?
In most cases, no. Softwashing restores the surface’s appearance. For painted render, cleaning helps ensure any new paint adheres properly.
Are your products safe?
All cleaning products carry some risk. We take full precautions to protect you, your property, and the environment throughout the process.
Do you offer free quotes and surveys?
Absolutely. We provide in-person surveys, free written quotations, and test patches upon request.
Sand & Cement Render Cleaning
Sand and cement render is one of the most common wall finishes but also one of the most prone to algae and weather damage. Its porous surface holds moisture which allows green and black staining to develop over time.
At Robin Ray Exterior Cleaning we use a low pressure softwash system to clean sand and cement render safely. Unlike pressure washing our method removes organic growth and surface grime without eroding the material. The result is an even finish that restores your render’s natural appearance and helps prevent future staining.
Painted Render Cleaning
Painted render needs careful maintenance to stay in good condition. Algae and dirt can grow beneath the paint which leads to bubbling cracking or peeling if not treated correctly. Our painted render cleaning service removes this build up gently before it causes lasting damage.
We use softwashing and eco friendly cleaning products to restore painted surfaces without harming the coating or colour. Cleaning first extends the life of the paintwork and avoids the cost of early repainting which keeps your property looking clean and protected.

Our walls had stubborn red and green staining that I thought would never come off. Robin and his team used a softwash solution that brought everything back to life.
They worked carefully and cleaned up afterwards. I’ve already recommended them to two of my neighbours.

The results speak for themselves. Our render had years of dirt, black algae and moss that no DIY solution could fix.
Robin and his team cleaned it all off safely and even treated it to prevent regrowth. It’s a huge visual upgrade and saved us a fortune in decorating costs.conti

The team at Robin Ray Exterior Cleaning did an incredible job restoring the render on our Victorian house. We had algae, lichen, and a fair bit of grime that built up over years.
They used softwashing, which was gentle on the old surfaces but highly effective. The place looks fantastic and the walls feel completely refreshed. Definitely a five-star service from a team that clearly knows their stuff.

Excellent communication from the first enquiry. Robin gave us a clear quote, explained what softwashing involved, and carried out the work with real care.
Our render is now completely clean, and we didn’t have to worry about ladders, mess, or disruption. Really pleased we chose them over a cheaper alternative.

We booked Robin after seeing his work online. The house looked tired, with algae streaks and general dirt all over the render.
He used a low-pressure softwash system that was gentle but incredibly effective. Not only is everything clean, but he also applied a treatment to prevent the growth coming back. Great value for money and you can tell he really knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend this service to anyone with tired-looking render.

Robin came highly recommended and completely lived up to the hype. Our render hadn’t been cleaned in over a decade and looked tired, dull, and stained.
After the treatment, the house genuinely looked ten years younger. No disruption, no damage, and no pressure washing — just a clever method that worked. Robin also gave us tips for maintaining the results. A really impressive company and a job we’ll absolutely repeat annually now.

Robin was fantastic from start to finish. Our render had become really discoloured from years of moss and pollution, and we were starting to consider painting over it.
Thankfully, someone recommended Robin and he reassured us that softwashing would restore it without any damage. He turned up on time, worked efficiently, and the walls came up cleaner than I expected. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result — feels like we’ve had a complete house makeover!

Our rendered home was suffering from heavy staining and moss growth. Robin gave us a detailed explanation of how their softwash system works, and we decided to go ahead.
The whole process was smooth, and the end result is genuinely impressive. The surface was restored without any harsh pressure or visible damage. Excellent value and a noticeable improvement to our curb appeal.

I didn’t realise how bad the render had got until Robin cleaned it. It looked like a completely different house!
The staining was gone, and the softwash left a really nice even finish. They worked carefully around windows and pipes. Very impressed with the level of service and attention to detail. Worth every penny.

After a lot of research, we chose Robin Ray Ltd for our render cleaning and couldn’t be happier. The walls had black mould and patches of algae that were spreading fast.
Robin was very thorough in his assessment, explaining what type of treatment would work best. He carried out a softwash that removed every bit of staining without harming the render. The walls look freshly painted, and there was no need for scaffolding. Professional, responsive and worth every penny. I’d absolutely recommend them to friends and family.

We used Robin Ray Ltd for a full render clean on our detached home. The results were superb.
The green algae on our back walls was completely gone, and even the areas under the eaves came up like new. It’s such a relief to have found a company that doesn’t cut corners and genuinely cares about the results they deliver.
Peter Sloane








Top class service. From first contact to finished job, everything was smooth and professional.
Our render was full of dark stains and looked awful. Now it’s bright and clean again. The team were tidy, polite and very respectful of our property throughout the day. We’re really happy with the result.
