Biofilms are complex structures that develop gradually on the surfaces of various materials, including walls, floors, and other objects. They are formed as a result of contaminations caused by different microorganisms such as mould, algae, moss, bacteria, and lichens. These microorganisms combine to form web-like structures that create red, black, or green streaks and patches on the surface.

Biofilm growth is promoted by mild, damp conditions, as well as the presence of nutrients and salts. They can be especially challenging to remove, requiring specialized treatments to eliminate them entirely. To prevent the formation and growth of biofilms in your living or working environment, it is essential to take proactive measures. Environmental factors such as the proximity of trees and vegetation, the amount of shade, and natural light can also contribute to the growth and flourishing of biofilms. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain optimal hygiene to avoid the formation and growth of these challenging structures.

Getting your render professionally treated and cleaned can prolong its life and prevent longterm damage caused by the living biofilm on the surface. Neglected render can crack and require professional care or replacement. It is recommended to have your render cleaned professionally to restore its original color and increase curb appeal. Not only is render cleaning a cheap and highly effective alternative to painting, but it also prevents the biofilm from striking through the paint. Regular treatment and cleaning of render will keep it free of organic biofilm caused by unsightly discoloration, resulting in an attractive and valuable asset.

Our render cleaning process follows the softwashing technique for deep cleaning and treatment without any damage. It has been observed that using a high-pressure jetwash, for pressure washing of render, can cause severe long-term damage resulting in continued contamination. The reason being, it does not remove the living biofilm, instead, it spreads the spores around. Our professional render cleaning process ensures restoring the render’s original state while caring for it and without causing any harm. The cleaning process is designed to reach and clean difficult areas effectively without the need for scaffolding, using high-reach poles. After preparing the walls and their surroundings, a biocide treatment is applied to eliminate the organic biofilm, followed by rinsing the dead spores with low-pressure hot water and steam. These methods are thoroughly researched and are proven to be safe and efficient. The before and after pictures depicted on our website provide a clear understanding of the effectiveness of our methods.
