Before we quote in Reading
Surveys in Reading also cover the surrounding RG1 district and towns such as Earley and Wokingham. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Berkshire sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
Shaded and north-facing walls in Reading often need render cleaning sooner than sunny elevations.

England: planning and regulations
Small repairs and cleaning in Reading normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
Why not pressure wash render?
Thin-coat renders are only 1–2mm thick. High-pressure jetting can erode the texture, strip colour, force water behind beads and cracks, and damage the insulation system underneath. A soft wash uses chemistry rather than pressure to do the work.

Render cleaning in Reading: questions
Can faded render be refreshed?
Yes — a compatible silicone paint restores colour without making the wall less breathable.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Do you cover Reading?
Yes — we survey and quote render cleaning in Reading (RG1) and nearby Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
