Exterior cleaning in Hale Barns

Contemporary detached houses with large render elevations, glazing and expansive driveways — the surfaces that show algae fastest.

Our approach in Hale Barns

We treat full elevations with a low-pressure soft wash, rotary clean and re-sand block paving, and can add conservatory and orangery roofs to the same visit.

What we help with in Hale Barns

  • Green and black growth on render and painted elevations
  • Block paving that has dulled and lost its jointing sand
  • Conservatory and orangery roofs, frames and glazing bars

How we assess the work

Send us photographs and your location and we will confirm the surface type, the access and how the work should be staged before giving you a price. Larger elevations and driveways are measured rather than guessed at.

  • Render is soft washed at low pressure with an appropriate treatment, never jetted.
  • Block paving is rotary cleaned and then re-sanded, and we will tell you which sand suits the joints.
  • Conservatory or orangery roofs can usually be added to the same visit if access allows.

What to expect

  • The right method for the surface, not simply more pressure.
  • Soft washing continues to work after we leave, so elevations keep improving for a while rather than looking finished the moment we pack up.
  • Cleaning is not repair — loose or damaged render, failed pointing and faulty seals need a repair trade.

Send us photos and your location, or request a quotation. We are fully insured with £5 million insurance cover and 10 years of industry experience.

Why people in Hale Barns get in touch

  • A large rendered elevation has discoloured unevenly and now stands out from the rest of the house.
  • Preparing to sell or let, where a wide frontage and driveway carry the first impression.
  • After an extension, re-render or new landscaping has marked the walls and paving.
  • Block paving has faded, weeded up and lost the sand from its joints.
  • Conservatory or orangery glazing and frames have gone green and are cutting the light.

What affects the quote

Every property is priced on what is actually there. These are the things we look at before giving you a figure in writing.

  • The measured area of elevations and driveway, not an estimate from the kerb.
  • The render system and paving type, and whether either has been sealed before.
  • How established the growth or staining has become.
  • Access: gates, frontage depth, parking, water supply and safe working room at height.
  • Whether pre-treatment is needed rather than cleaning alone.
  • Whether re-sanding is required afterwards, and whether sealing suits that paving.

DIY or professional cleaning?

Plenty of exterior upkeep is reasonable to do yourself, and doing it regularly genuinely reduces how often you need us. The line is usually drawn by the surface, the height and how far the growth has gone.

Sensible to do yourself

  • Keeping the drive swept, particularly through autumn leaf fall.
  • Rinsing light dust from ground-floor render and window frames.
  • Clearing drains and channels so water is not standing on block paving.
  • Pulling joint weeds early rather than waiting for them to spread.

Better left to us

  • Render at any height — the wrong pressure opens the surface and forces water behind it.
  • Large block-paved drives, where uneven passes leave striping that is very difficult to correct.
  • Conservatory and orangery roofs, which need the right access and a light touch on seals and glazing bars.
  • Established black spot, which needs correct treatment rather than more pressure.
