Here are our top tips for how to prevent wall staining, cleaning painted walls safely and the best practices for wall cleaning.

Why clean exterior walls?

Exterior walls are consistently exposed to outdoor elements, meaning everything from dirt and pollution to mould and algae can develop across their surface. After building up, walls soon look discoloured and may even sustain damage. Cleaning exterior walls will improve your property’s façade, protect building materials from deterioration, and prevent algae and mould growth. It also prepares surfaces for renovations, making painting over cleaned walls easier.

Cleaning exterior brick walls in Surrey and London

Brick walls are durable and classic in appearance, but they require care to retain their look. Dirt can easily embed itself across the porous surface of bricks, making DIY wall cleaning solutions challenging. Our professionals are the best cleaners for exterior walls in your local area. Using a variety of methods, we remove walls stains, clean crevices and mortar joints (without causing damage) and help maintain the structural integrity of the bricks.

How to wash render walls, stone walls and brick walls

Render, stone and brick walls remain popular choices for homes and commercial buildings, but they can be susceptible to grime and algae build-ups. Proper methods are necessary for cleaning walls without damage.

Key steps include:

  • INSPECTION:  We’ll identify the type of render, brick or stone to clean, surveying the level of grime and soiling affecting its appearance.
  • RISK ASSESSMENT: We’ll determine the risks of every job, cleaning different wall materials safely and effectively.
  • PRE-TREATMENT: Preparing walls for cleaning sometimes means using eco-friendly solutions to loosen dirt and algae if necessary.
  • SOFT WASHING OR PRESSURE WASHING: We’ll use techniques appropriate for the exterior surface we’re washing to remove contaminants without harming the material. This may involve soft washing using gentle pressures.

Exterior wall maintenance – how often to clean exterior walls

How often you clean exterior walls will depend on several factors like location, weather and the material involved. Properties in urban areas of Surrey and London will be more prone to pollution and grime, requiring more frequent cleaning. Many people like to clean walls once or twice a year to keep on top of grime, although any algae or moss growth should be addressed promptly to prevent surface damage.
