Does your Bristol property look a little tired from the outside?
If your exterior walls have started to turn green, discoloured, or patchy with stains, the problem could lie in your rendered surfaces. But before you consider costly re-rendering or repainting, there’s a smarter and more affordable solution: Soft Wash Render Cleaning.
At Bristol Power Clean, we specialise in professional render cleaning using a gentle yet powerful soft wash process. Designed to restore your render safely and effectively, this method removes years of dirt, algae, and staining without damaging your walls.
Why Does Render Discolour Over Time?
In and around Bristol, render is a popular finish for homes, offices, and apartment blocks alike. It looks great when fresh – but our local weather doesn’t always treat it kindly. Over time, your render might turn green or black from:
- Algae & moss buildup
- Airborne pollution and carbon deposits
- Spores from nearby trees and gardens
- General grime and weather-related staining
These issues are especially common on the north and east-facing walls of buildings where there’s less sunlight.
Areas close to the River Avon, Harbourside, and shaded neighbourhoods like Redland or Easton tend to suffer more due to dampness and humidity.
What Is Soft Wash Cleaning?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method designed for delicate exterior surfaces such as render, stone, painted walls, and cladding. Unlike pressure washing, which can strip paint or damage your walls, soft washing works with specialist eco-safe cleaning agents that gently break down and remove:
- Algae & moss
- Mould & mildew
- Lichen & spores
- Pollution & carbon staining
- Surface dirt and organic grime
Soft wash cleaning gets to the root of the problem – not just the surface. That means your render stays cleaner for longer and isn’t left vulnerable to rapid re-growth.
Why Bristol Properties Need Soft Wash Render Cleaning
Living in the Southwest, we’re no strangers to rain, moss, and green-streaked walls. Many homes and commercial buildings across Bristol and nearby areas like Portishead, Failand, Clifton, and Long Ashton suffer from organic staining. Especially on older buildings or those close to vegetation, moss and algae can really take hold.
You’ll often see this on pebbledash, painted render, monocouche finishes, and spa dash exteriors, all of which are suitable for soft wash cleaning.
At Bristol Power Clean, we’ve helped homeowners and landlords across the city refresh and protect their properties with soft washing that’s tough on grime but gentle on surfaces.
A Safe, Cost-Effective Alternative to Re-rendering
Many people think the only way to fix stained render is to repaint or redo it entirely. But that’s expensive, disruptive, and often unnecessary.
Our soft washing service in Bristol restores your render to a clean, bright state – without scaffolding in most cases. We can access many properties from the ground using extendable poles and low-pressure equipment, keeping costs and hassle to a minimum.
Soft washing is suitable for:
- Residential homes
- Rental properties
- Commercial buildings
- Apartment blocks
