Your house looks a bit rough around the edges. That lovely cream render you were so chuffed with five years ago now looks more like it’s been dunked in a muddy puddle. And every time you walk past your neighbour’s pristine walls, you feel a little pang of house shame.
Here’s the thing – it’s not your fault. Manchester weather is relentless. Rain, wind, pollution from the main road, plus whatever the local pigeons have been up to – your render’s taken a battering, it shows. But before you start googling “how much does re-rendering cost” (spoiler alert: it’s eye-watering), there’s something you should know.
Most of that grime, those green and reddish streaks, that general tatty appearance – it can come off. Properly off. Without exorbitant expenditure or having builders tramping through your garden for weeks.
Nine times out of ten, that staining isn’t permanent. It’s build-up — algae, mould, traffic film — sitting on the surface. You don’t need to sand it, chip it, repaint it, or replace it. You need to clean it properly.
The Problem Everyone Has, but Nobody Talks About
Walk down any street in Chorlton and you’ll spot them – houses that clearly cost a fortune but look like they’ve been forgotten.
Render’s not hard to clean — if you know what you’re doing. Problem is, plenty don’t. We’ve seen some absolute horror shows: pressure washers stripping render. Or people trying bleach, scrubbing it like it’s a kitchen tile. Worst is when someone’s been sold a full repaint when it didn’t need it.
Most people try the obvious stuff. You’ve probably tried the DIY route. Got the pressure washer out from B&Q, spent a Saturday afternoon blasting away, and managed to shift some of the surface dirt.
But those stubborn stains? The green bits that seem to grow back overnight? The general dullness that makes your house look older than it is? Still there.
Truth is, most people think their render is permanently damaged. They assume those dark patches and that tired appearance are here to stay. They start planning expensive renovations or convince themselves it’s “character.” It’s not character. It’s just dirty.
How We Sort Out Render Cleaning in Chorlton
Soft washing, targeted treatment, chemicals that kill the muck at the root instead of blasting it around.
We don’t faff about with fancy equipment names or technical jargon. We clean your render properly. We have been render cleaning in Chorlton and across Manchester for years. We know which cleaning solutions work on biological growth (that’s the green stuff) and which tackle general grime and pollution stains.
More importantly, we know when to stop. There’s a fine line between clean and damaged, and we’ve never crossed it. Your render stays intact while looking completely transformed.
We’ve worked on all sorts — semi-detached houses, flats, offices, shops. Doesn’t matter what the building is — if it’s got render, it’ll go the same way eventually. Doesn’t mean the place is badly looked after. It’s just what happens.
People often ask: “Will it look new again?”
Depends on the state it’s in. If it’s decent underneath, absolutely. If it’s knackered, no amount of cleaning will bring it back fully — but we’ll always tell you that upfront. That said, most people are surprised what comes off once it’s treated properly.
And before you ask — no, it’s not messy.
We don’t turn up with scaffolding and start hosing your garden down. Most jobs we’re in and out the same day.
We get a lot of repeat customers — not because the muck keeps coming back quickly, but because once people see the difference, they want the rest doing. Or they’ve got another place that needs it.
We’ve done full streets before — one neighbour sees it done, pops over for a word, books in for the week after. It goes like that.
Some of our customers are landlords. Some are homeowners. Some run cafés or offices and don’t want customers looking at a stained wall. Makes no odds to us. The goal’s the same: clean the render, don’t damage it, leave it looking respectable.
A lot of companies chuck around words like “transformation” and “rejuvenate”. We’re not into all that. It’s not a spa day, its render cleaning.
What you’ll get is a wall that looks how it should — neat, even, no weird blotches or green corners.
We don’t expect you to know what kind of render you’ve got, or what the algae’s called, or how long it’s been there. That’s on us. We’ll take a look, tell you what’s going on, and explain how we’ll fix it. In plain English.
Catch It Early, Save Yourself Hassle
One thing we will say — don’t leave it too long. Once the gunk starts settling in, it holds moisture. That’s when render starts to go. Small cracks, flaking, damp getting in from the outside. You don’t need that. A proper clean now can stop bigger problems down the line.
We’ve turned up to houses where the staining was so far gone the only real fix was re-rendering parts of the wall. That’s not a few hundred quid — it’s thousands. Easily avoided with regular, professional render cleaning.
Regular cleaning prevents this escalation. It’s essential if you want to avoid expensive disasters later.
We arrange a time that works for you, take a proper look at your render, and give you an honest assessment.
You’ll get a proper quote, not a ballpark figure that changes on the day.
If we think your render doesn’t actually need cleaning yet, we’ll say so. If there’s a better time to do the job because of weather, we’ll suggest waiting.
When we do clean, we’re efficient and tidy. We protect your plants, clean up after ourselves, and leave your property looking significantly better than when we arrived.
The transformation is usually dramatic enough that neighbours start asking for our details.
What You Can Expect
The change is immediate and obvious. That dull, tired, worn-out look disappears, revealing the original colour and texture underneath. Those green streaks and dark patches vanish.
Your house looks years younger. And it doesn’t just look better — it stays that way for a good while. Most customers don’t need another clean for a few years. If your house gets a lot of shade or sits near the main road, it might need touching up sooner, but we’ll explain all that.
People are usually surprised by two things:
- How much better it looks.
- How affordable it is.
Compared to painting or re-rendering, it’s night and day. Most say the same thing afterwards — “Should’ve done this ages ago.”
We cover all of Chorlton-cum-Hardy and the surrounding areas.
We’ll never rush you into booking. Some people like to ask questions, think it over, compare quotes — fine by us. We’ve been doing this long enough to know the right ones always come back. If someone else undercuts us and does half a job, they usually end up calling us anyway.
If you’re tired of your house looking shabby when you know it could look brilliant, get in touch. We’ll pop over, take a look, tell you what’s what, and let you decide from there.
Simple as that.
