Types of Render We Clean

Our team at Render Care by Nautilus has extensive experience cleaning and treating every major render type used on UK properties. Each material responds differently to soft washing, so we adapt our approach for the safest and most effective results.
  • Silicone render – marketed as “maintenance free” but prone to algae and mould. Requires periodic soft washing with low percentages and longer dwell times, often repeated for a full clean.
  • Mineral or limestone render – natural and porous, best cleaned using lower strength solutions. These finishes often need multiple treatments to achieve excellent results.
  • Polymer render – flexible cement-based blends that require controlled soft washing to avoid surface damage.
  • Cement render – traditional sand and cement based finishes. These should never be pressure washed. Soft washing is the safest method.
We also work with branded renders including K-Rend, Monocouche, Parex, Weber, Sto, Permarock and SPS Envirowall. Our surveyor will recommend the exact soft wash blend for your render type following a detailed porosity test and written report.

Render Cleaning for High-End Homes and Properties Across the South East

At Render Care by Nautilus, we specialise in restoring and protecting prestigious homes, apartments, and commercial buildings across Kent, Surrey, Essex, Sussex, and South East London. Every render cleaning project is tailored to your exact property, taking into account render type, building style, and severity of staining — ensuring a flawless result with no risk of damage.

Our system combines porosity testing, thermal imaging, and bespoke soft wash solutions to deliver safe, long-lasting results. We never pressure wash render. Instead, we use proven science-led cleaning methods that preserve your property’s finish while removing algae, mould, and organic growth.

For homeowners who want peace of mind, we also offer hydrophobic protective coatings with an optional 10-year guarantee and annual maintenance checks. These coatings slow down new growth, prevent staining, and keep your property looking its very best for longer.

  • Safe and Non-Damaging: Every project begins with a porosity test so your render is treated at the correct strength without risk of harm.

Cleaning seven year old k- render in area beside the sea with plenty of deteriorating colour and mood on north side. Tried Nautilus with low expections. It turned out extremely good and we are very pleased. Darren and Chris were very enthusiastic in making sure we achieved a really good result. We will use again in 3 – 5 years Thanks

I cannot fault the experience I had from Render Care by Nautilus. From my initial enquiry, Darran followed up with a quote and information about their services the very same afternoon! Communication was excellent. They provide the service I needed within my budget, and were very accommodating and understanding of my needs, getting the clean carried out very quickly to work with my schedule. I have never had render cleaned before, but I can honestly say the house looks brand new! Darren's team went beyond the scope of their quote and cleaned the pathways in the front garden at no extra cost. I would highly recommend this company!

Why Soft Washing Is Safer for Render Cleaning

Soft washing is the safe alternative to pressure washing. Instead of blasting render with force, we use a low-pressure system that blends sodium hypochlorite, water, and a biodegradable surfactant.

Unlike pressure washing, soft washing won’t damage delicate finishes or drive water behind the render. It sanitises the surface and breaks down organic growth at the root — meaning cleaner walls that stay clean for longer.

The most common mix we use is 97% water, 2% sodium hypochlorite, and 1% soap — carefully adjusted based on the render’s porosity.

At Nautilus Clean, we use certified soft washing equipment and follow strict preparation protocols for every render cleaning project.
