External Cleaning – Algae Removal Edinburgh

Rendering has become a fashionable choice with many people having the external walls of their house rendered. Not only does it immediately modernise the outside appearance of a house but practically speaking it protects the brickwork against the elements such as the wind and the rain and can also make the building more efficient keeping the heat in and the cold out.

There’s just one problem! While many brick and stone properties usually age well without the need to clean, and changes in the colour tend to improve the appearance, the same cannot be said about walls that have render on them.

When render starts to fade or become dirty it can very quickly start to look tired.
