Local considerations in Eltham
We cover Eltham and nearby Blackheath, Chislehurst and Welling. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London 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 Eltham often need render cleaning sooner than sunny elevations.

Approvals in England
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.
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 Eltham: questions
Will the green come back?
The biocide slows regrowth considerably, but shaded, damp walls can need retreating every few years.
Is render cleaning safe for EWI?
Yes, using low pressure and products suitable for thin-coat render.
Do you need scaffolding?
Usually not for a two-storey house; poles and low-pressure equipment reach most walls.
