Render cleaning in Kingsway, Gloucester, Gloucestershire

Render cleaning in Kingsway, Gloucester, Gloucestershire

The Kingsway estate in Gloucester commenced building over 10 years ago, they’re currently still building which is great for housing. However…

A lot of the buildings and homes in Kingsway, Gloucester have render on the exterior walls of the homes.

What does this mean for Kingsway residents with rendered homes?

When first built, rendered homes look lovely, but after many years of damp weather, micro-organisms start to grow. Moister feeds micro-organisms and helps them grow bigger and stronger.

Naturally spreading with the wind and rain from house to house, these tiny little micro-organisms are so small you cannot see with the naked eye until they start growing on your render.

You won’t see them to start with, but over many years of growth, if not treated,d will over time appear black, green or even at time red.. There literally trillions of microorganisms in our ecosystem.

Render is a porous material and is the perfect breeding ground for Algae, molds and lichens. Gloucester’s weather juts like the rest of the UK can be wet…

These algaes thrive on warm wet weather.

We were asked clean and treat the render at a property in Kingsway Gloucester, But we didn’t stop there.

The sandstone ledges were also thick with mould, the client had a leaky gutter dripping on her porch, above her door, which was bouncing back on to her render from the splash… These splashes contain more minerals, dirt, and water for even more microorganisms to grow. This area was particularly thick with mould and algae.

First, we fixed the gutter so the drip would no longer cause any problems.

Followed by clearing out all gutters then the SoftWash treatment of the render using a specialist  SoftWash System Blend & Rinse unit.

Once this was done, We DOFF  Steam cleaned the sandstone, making the property look like new.

Also, the lovely stone patio was in need of a makeover so we turned our attention to killing the lichen that had grown over many years, followed by a DOFF steam cleaning service. Leaving the property treated, sanitized and algae free.

Looking fantastic once again Algae free for years to come..

Exterior cleaning at Hartpury College

We were asked to help clean at the new Sports hall at Hartpury College.

F3 builders done a fantastic job in building the new Sports hall ready for the students at Hartpury college, but after construction works, quite a mess can be made. SkyLine were called in to support cleaning the site.

First we were called in to support in the cleaning of the brick work which a bad case of efflorescence. The white minerals leaching from the mortar and brickwork had seriously stained both the brick and the mortar. Using 150-degree heat and low pressure, the areas were cleaned without causing damage that a pressure would.

only a short video as we were very busy

Also being a very busy building the site health and safety was a risk, through careful management and communication, the exterior of the college was finally finished and once the builders left we finished on both the external and internal window cleaning.

Window cleaning was carried out using our water fed poles, alongside our water purification system to get the dust off, followed by traditional window cleaning methods.

If you have recently been part of a building project and they’re getting behind on the sign off.. get in touch. Many times building managers get cleaners in far too early and can often cause more expense having to ask for cleaners to come back as someone has messed up their excellent work with paint or plaster or after the clean has been signed off!.

This can all be avoided when hiring a professional window cleaning company, ’ experience is essential in building cleaning projects so ensuring when in a high pressured busy environment, you know when to get the cleaners in while ensuring the safety of contractors, staff and the public.

Barnwood builders done a fantastic job in building the new collage ready for the students, but after building it can be messy, so we were called in to support in cleaning the site. The windows and cladding were thick with builders dust and dried on cement which made it a complex job.

Also there was Tar that dripped down from above when applying the specialist walk ways that dripped done on to some of the metal beamed structures and window frames.

Also the height of the job was relatively high, so the use of scissor lifts and MEWPS to accesses many of the areas had to come into play.

Using specialist knowledge and training we were able to support in getting the job done on time.. and to a high standard..

Window cleaning was carried out using a water fed pole system to get the worst dust off, followed by traditional window cleaning, to get all the muck cement fromt the glass and frames.

Why DOFF?

For the gentle removal of Flexible Paints, Graffiti, Algae, Moss and more

DOFF logo
SkyLine SoftWash Use the DOFF steam integra system for many specialist exterior cleaning projects

The DOFF System is unique in achieving temperatures up to 150 degrees at the nozzle end – making it a ‘superheated water system’. Designed and developed to effectively remove paint, biological matter and general dirt and grime without causing harm or shock to the substrate.

DOFF is a steam based stone cleaning system. It’s unlike any other steam system and can achieve temperatures of up to 150°C at the nozzle end – making it a ‘superheated water system’. The operator is able to vary the temperature and pressure to remove many different types of paint and biological matter.

What can DOFF be used for?
The steam/superheated water will remove moss, algae, fungi and other biological matter and will also kill off spores. While means there’s then no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological activity.

How does it work?
DOFF cleans stonework and masonry using high-temperature steam. While the temperature in the system is high, the pressure on the surface being cleaned is very gentle and the volume of water is low. Therefore is not saturated and will be dry within minutes.

What is the DOFF most effective in removing?
• Paint coatings (most oil and plastic types)
• Certain types of graffiti
• Bird or vermin fouling
• Algae, moss, and fungi
• Wax coatings
• Chewing gum
• Bitumen, Oil, Grease and many others, all without causing any damage or disfiguring the substrate.

SkyLine SoftWash are the first SoftWash Systems fully authorized & certified trained stone health approved operators in Gloucestershire

The DOFF works in-line with SoftWash Sytems equipment making your building look amazing!!!
