Render is a popular choice for modern homes and commercial buildings across Suffolk and Essex, with its smooth finish and contemporary look. However, over time, many property owners notice their render starting to look dirty, stained, or discoloured. This is often caused by organic growth such as algae, moss, mildew, and pollution build-up. Left untreated, these stains not only spoil the appearance of your property but can also shorten the lifespan of the render.
At Jack’s Jet Washing Ltd, we specialise in professional render cleaning & softwashing services in Ipswich, Colchester, Harwich, Clacton, Manningtree, Felixstowe, Hadleigh, Chelmsford, and surrounding areas. Our fully insured team has restored countless homes and commercial properties back to their original clean and bright appearance.
Why Does Render Become Dirty?
Render is highly porous, meaning it absorbs moisture easily. In damp conditions, this creates the perfect environment for algae and organic growth to thrive. In coastal towns such as Felixstowe, Harwich, and Clacton, salt deposits and sea air can speed up staining. Similarly, properties in busier towns like Ipswich, Colchester, and Chelmsford often suffer from pollution marks, streaks, and discolouration.
Common causes of render staining include:
Algae & moss: Green or red staining on north-facing walls.
Pollution & dirt: Grey or black streaks caused by traffic fumes.
Weathering: Rainwater marks and streaks over time.
Mildew & mould: Black patches that spread if left untreated.


Risks of Neglecting Render Cleaning
Neglecting dirty render can cause more than just cosmetic issues. If left untreated:
Stains become more stubborn and difficult to remove.
Organic growth can damage the surface over time.
Moisture retention can affect the integrity of the render.
Your property may lose value due to its tired appearance.
The Benefits of Softwashing for Render
Unlike traditional high-pressure washing, which can damage render and lead to costly repairs, softwashing is a low-pressure cleaning method designed to treat delicate surfaces safely.
Benefits of softwashing your render include:
Gentle yet effective cleaning – No risk of damage or surface erosion.
Long-lasting results – Biocide treatment kills algae spores, slowing regrowth.
Restored kerb appeal – A clean, bright finish transforms your property.
Cost-effective maintenance – Extends the life of your render and reduces the need for repairs.
