Soft Washing in Great Barr
Low-pressure cleaning with specialist biodegradable solutions — the safe method for render, roofs, cladding, and any surface that high pressure would damage.
Soft Washing in Great Barr
The gable ends and rendered panels on Great Barr's 1930s bay-fronted semis — pebble-dash or plain render to the upper gable wall is almost universal on interwar Birmingham suburban housing — pick up green algae quickly on any north or north-east facing elevation. Soft washing treats the render surface safely, with the low-pressure application ensuring pebble-dash texture is cleaned effectively without dislodging the aggregate or damaging the surface.

1930s pebble-dash gable ends are a defining feature of interwar Birmingham semis in this area, and they accumulate green algae on north-facing aspects that only soft washing can safely treat.

Soft Washing in Great Barr — FAQ
We use biodegradable cleaning solutions effective against algae, moss, lichen, and mould. The products are applied at low pressure and are safe for surrounding hard landscaping when handled correctly. We take precautions around planted areas throughout the job.
Soft washing typically produces longer-lasting results than pressure washing alone, because the cleaning treatment kills biological growth at the root rather than just removing the surface layer. Re-growth rates vary depending on surface type, aspect, and local conditions, but results generally outlast a pressure wash.
