Driveway cleaning Gloucester, Cheltenham & Patio Cleaning in Stroud, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Are your patios and driveways infested with fungus?

Mould,  Spores, Algae, Lichens are just some of the micro-organism that is living, multiplying and feeding on your paths, patios, and driveways!

These areas appear dirty but they are not,  your driveway and patios are literally infested with trillions of tiny bacteria.

You may think it’s a good idea to search on google “Pressure washing near me” But did you know pressure washing is not the answer

Pressure washing only gives the mould a haircut and does not kill the root of the problem. Pressure washing water will feed the algae growing on your patio and in a few months’ time will grow back, Pressure washing, in fact, spreads these spores around transferring them to different surfaces so they can grow and multiply there too!

Cladding Cleaning & Window Cleaning at Aldi in Stroud & Cirencester

SkyLine SoftWash were recently asked to clean the Cladding & Windows at Aldi in Stroud & Cirencester

Super Markets at times can get super dirty at times, with large areas of cladding, Windows and even canopies.

Many of these areas can build up Infestation with microorganisms like bacteria, algae, mould, fungus, and lichen.

These areas can appeal unattractive to customers and could, in fact, make put people off from shopping at your premises

How Your Premises Look Really Matters

The presentation of your business premises is an extension of your brand and values and should be treated as so to ensure a positive first impression to anyone who visits. If your business looks good on the outside the perception will be that it’s good on the inside too! Keeping these areas sanitized and looking fresh is really important for the health and well being of both your staff and potential clients.

Don’t Let Appearances Slip

Every day I see so many business premises where gradual deterioration has gone unnoticed by owners, be it render going mouldy and dirty, dirty windows or fascia panels and car parks full of weeds and litter.

This is usually dealt with only at the point when the situation has got really bad but you can guarantee that your visitors will have noticed it well before then.

That’s why it’s so important to have a regular exterior cleaning maintenance schedule in place.

A dirty looking business premises can also be interpreted by suppliers that you could be a potential debt risk or struggling financially even though your books are probably very healthy. So, not only are good first impressions vital for your customers but also vital for your suppliers if you don’t want your ongoing credit questioned or supply opportunities affected.

Clean Premises Results In Happy Staff…

If you employ staff, a clean, well-maintained building is good for morale too. Nobody wants to work in a dirty environment and have to look through filthy dirty windows. As a business owner if you don’t care about how your business looks and how it’s cared for then why should your employees care?

…And Prevents The Risk Of Damage

Studies on anti-social behaviour clearly indicate that poorly maintained dirty buildings show more incidents of window breakages and vandalism. A simple regular maintenance/cleaning schedule could really help prevent potential damage to your premises and the expensive associated costs of repair.

can also prove expensive to rectify so all things considered it makes sense and is more cost effective to implement a regular maintenance schedule.

So, remember, if you want more customers and greater profits then it’s important to ensure you and your business shine by keeping those first impressions sparkling

Why do people use K-rend on house walls?

Render is used as a cladding option. It is applied to the exterior of a home, much like plaster is applied to the interior walls. There are two reasons for applying render:

  • to protect the underlying walling material from the effects of weathering and rainwater penetration
  • to provide an attractive appearance to the house

What is render?

Render is used on external walls to seal them off to the elements, or to give a property a facelift. Early rendering was a messy business, slapped on the walls using sand and cement and finished with coloured paint. Over the years, rendering technology has evolved greatly, giving a much bigger choice of colours and finishes, and also enabling tailoring to specific environments.

What is K Rend?

K Rend render is a water-repellent, breathable solution – low maintenance and available in most colours. However, will need regular render cleaning treatments to prevent the build-up of growth. Ideally, a treatment every 3-5 years is ideal to maintain your property

What is the difference between K Rend and other render manufacturers?

K Rend traditionally manufactured traditional English thick coat renders, Over the years, various acrylic and silicone

Whilst K Rend also produces thin silicone renders

Both K Rend and other manufacturers now specify a flexible bead or mesh inserted into the base coat adhesive before the final layer of render is applied.

Cement

Cement render tends to be cheap in terms of materials, but a little more expensive on labour due to the numerous coats. It also has a tendency to crack if the underlying structure should move.

Cement renders require regular SoftWash treatments followed by repainting if they are to continue to look good.

Polymers

Polymer renders are usually sold pre-mixed in bags with either white cement or lime as a base.

Polymer house rendering is less prone to cracking — they are often through-coloured too

They have polymers and other plastic-based products added to them to make the render less prone to cracking. Some of these types of render will need specialist cleaning techniques such as SoftWash and DOFF steam cleaning.

Acrylic

Acrylic renders are most often applied as a thin finish coat to seal and enhance the appearance or the underlying coat. They also bring colour and texture. Fibers are added to prevent cracking and give a durable, lasting finish.

some claim that when it rains, the silicone will allow rainwater to wash away any dirt.

However, it is important to keep an eye on things to make sure Algae does not appear as it may need a render cleaning treatment.

Monocouche

‘Monocouche’ (French for ‘single layer’ or ‘bed’ renders) are relative newcomers to the world of house rendering. These products originated in Europe, so many of the big names – Sto, Knauf, Marmorit, and Weber – are European.

Monocouche render is supplied in bags, ready for mixing with water. It can be applied by hand trowel or sprayed on.

It is important to note though that monocouche render systems will save you on labour costs and maintenance — there is no need for re-painting. SoftWash treatment works very well on these types of render.

Monocouche renders have additives which make them more flexible and help to eliminate cracking. They can even be ‘self-cleaning’.

Lime Render

Although lime plastering fell from favour for some years, having been the traditional method for house rendering in this country, there has been a re-emergence of interest recently.

Although lime-based plaster tends to be a little harder to apply than regular Portland cement – meaning it is more commonly used in renovation projects and for conservation work and English heritage sites or listed buildings.

Maintenance for Lime Render can be complex if it’s a listed building. English heritage will only recommend Low-Pressure Steam cleaning and specialist cleaning techniques.  You may need to speak to English heritage to see what is allowed on your building on this instance.

Does Render need painting?

Many Render & K-rend suppliers claim that the render that they supply is self-cleaning, However, just like many glass manufactures claiming that the glass is self-cleaning they are not. Its may help slow down the growth of render by having a waterproof coating however as you know these coatings do wear, so over time this will stop working and will need a top up render cleaning treatment.

Some Render do appear very dirty at times due to algae growth appearing in red, green and even black moulds.

K-rend is the ideal place for Algae, mould and lichens to take hold and can come in trillions of forms..

Micro-organisms have been around for thousands of years on rocks, Structures and if left untreated these micro-organisms can take over your home causing long term damage.

Render cleaning treatments and sanitation kills these Microorganisms leaving the render looking like NEW once again. Many Renders including K-rend and monocouche render there is no need for paint.

Its important to have a treatment every few years to keep your property in tip-top condition. Keeping Algae and moulds at bay to maintain the appearance of your home and stop long term damage that can cause your home/building to decay.

Oak Beam DOFF steam cleaning & Render Cleaning in Westhope
Hereford, HR4 8BT

Old Tudor Style Modern House, Oak Beams and render

Challenging, to say the least, was the fact that the Old oak beams had many years of algae growth, Also some area were very delicate especially around the window frames and render.

Also, the plant life was very close to the house which needed lots of care and attention.

When using chemicals to kill Algae, Mould, and Lichens, these micro-organisms are very similar to plants, So when you use biocides or anti-fungal to kill any algae, mold or lichens the same chemicals if left un-neutralized, potentially could cause damage to plant life too.

One of the main chemicals we are trained to use is a product called Plant Wash, Plant Wash is specifically made for the SoftWash industry to support in the aid of Neutralizing, protecting and revitalizing plants by adding vital nurturance back to the soil to re-populate the micro-organisms in the soil.

When Soft Washing buildings it is vital that you protect the landscape around it, Including pond life, Pets & Children. SkyLine SoftWash is highly trained in the use of chemicals which is suited for the use of SoftWash.

Firstly the team got to work by pre-watering all plants and covering with a tarp to limit the amount of chemical contamination to any plants. The SoftWash System was then used to apply the correct amount of GreenWash (biocide) & Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach). Using the Blend System this allows you to utilize this specialist SoftWash products in a safe manner. The Blend system applies the correct mixture to limit overuse of chemicals whilst applying in a safe manner.

Once the SoftWash was complete, We got to work on the oak wood beams. Using the DOFF Integra system from stone health, Also with the DOFF pole SkyLine SoftWash steam all of the wood getting rid of any heavy staining. The DOFF uses only 5 liters per min and the 150-degree heat is ideal for cleaning many external areas including stonework, brick, roofs, render cleaning and much more.

Last steps, by applying a Wood Restore through our SoftWash System, adding a UV protector and conditions the wood.

Finally, Plant Wash adds back vital nutrients at the base of the plants, helping beneficial bacteria to repopulate the soil.
Along with thorough rinsing with clean water, before, during and after the cleaning, Plant Wash is used as a final rinse to make absolutely sure every step has been taken to protect the customer’s landscape 100%.

Render cleaning in Leckhampton Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

SkyLine SoftWash were called in to look at a large property in Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.

On driving into the property it was apparent that the property was cover in red algae growth which was really letting this lovely home down.

Algae can be a huge problem for render, render is a porous product designed to breathe so as soon as micro-organisms take hold the spread and grow rapidly.

SkyLine SoftWash plan was to make this home beautiful once again!

The process was simple, Following the proven methods used in our training from SoftWash Systems we started work on pre-watering and protecting the plant life and landscape.

Algae is a microorganism which is very similar to a plant, whatever is used to kill and sanitize the area can potentially kill any plant life too… So its always important when cleaning render to have your plants and landscape protected when render cleaning is in progress.

Once the prep stage was complete we moved on to the SoftWash using a SoftWash Blend system which blends safely the correct amount of bleach and greenwash “biocide” which has proven to be a great success in giving phenomenal results.

During the render cleaning in Cheltenham, it was apparent that the Red Algae was extremely stubborn and deep-rooted into the render so took patience and determination to beat it..

Due to the Tulips being very special all the way from Amsterdam, it was important to our client that no chemicals came near them to minimize the potential for any plant damage.. Using the DOFF Integra, we finished off with the walls and coping stones using the 150-degree steam to kill any remaining spores, lichen, and molds leaving the patio and stonework in immaculate condition.

Finally, We followed protocol using Plant wash which Adds back vital nutrients at the base of the plants, helping beneficial bacteria to repopulate the soil.
