What we look for in Cumbria
The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Parts of Cumbria fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
We clean render in Cumbria with low pressure only, so thin-coat and EWI finishes aren't damaged.

England: planning and regulations
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission or building control. If repairs grow into re-rendering more than half of a wall, Building Regulations energy rules can apply.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
How long does cleaned render stay clean?
It depends on shade, trees and exposure. Many walls stay clean for several years after a biocide treatment. North-facing, shaded and damp walls may need treating more often.

Render cleaning in Cumbria: questions
Is render cleaning safe for EWI?
Yes, using low pressure and products suitable for thin-coat render.
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We survey and quote render cleaning across Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Workington, Whitehaven.
Do I need planning permission in England?
For houses, external wall insulation and render are often permitted development where the finish looks similar to the existing walls. We check your address before quoting.
