External Cleaning in Glasgow – algae removal

Walk down any street and you will typically see a range of properties of various shapes, sizes and ages. Some will have exposed brick while others might have timber cladding. One thing you will be seeing more of are houses that have been rendered on the outside.

So why is it that render is becoming so popular? Rendering a property is like giving it a facelift. It brightens up the whole house, modernising it and covering over years of wear and tear. From a practical point of view, rendering your property can improve thermal performance as it has the effect of insulating the walls so it can cut down on your energy bills.

While newly rendered walls can look bright and clean, most render is susceptible to showing up dirt especially on the lighter colours. Render can also succumb to algae, moss and lichen infestations which can stain and ruin the appearance of the outside of a house or commercial buildings. It’s therefore important to have algae removal Glasgow carried out at least annually in order to ensure that this doesn’t happen, and it doesn’t succumb to erosion on the facade.
