The rendered new-builds around the marina and the pebbledashed inter-war semis along the A6 pick up algae and green-grey staining quickly in Adlington's damp canal-side spot. Render cannot take high pressure, so for render cleaning we soft wash it with the right chemistry to lift the growth and brighten the wall.

Render softwashing across Adlington
Adlington sits on the moorland edge below Anglezarke and Rivington, with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal running through the village, so damp air keeps north-facing surfaces green for much of the year. Porous gritstone and shaded canal-side plots hold that moisture, which is why moss and algae on roofs, patios and render around Adlington grow back quickly after a basic jet wash.
Adlington's stock is a mix of tight millworkers' terracing left over from its cotton and calico-printing days and later brick semis filling the roads between the village and Chorley. Newer rendered estates have grown up near the canal and White Bear Marina, while the fringe towards Anglezarke and Rivington keeps larger stone-built and detached properties. That range means one quote can cover porous quarried gritstone, painted render and mass-produced concrete tile within a short walk, so the cleaning method has to shift house by house.

What we usually find on Adlington render
Green and grey algae staining spreading across north and west-facing render
Red and black organic spotting establishing on textured pebbledash semis
Dark streaking and run-off tracks below sills, downpipes and overflow points
General dulling and discolouration on modern silicone render near the canal
High pressure cracks render and forces water behind the coating, so we never jet wash it. Soft washing gets the wall clean safely.

What is softwashing and how is it different from pressure washing?
Softwashing uses low-pressure water with specialist solutions to remove algae, moss, mould and lichen without the force that can damage delicate surfaces. It kills growth at the root, so the clean lasts longer than pressure washing alone.
Is softwashing safe for all surfaces?
It's one of the safest methods available, ideal for silicone and Monocouche render, K-Rend, painted walls, cladding, uPVC, roof tiles and pebbledash. We match the solution, dwell time and pressure to each surface.
How long do the results last?
On average 12 to 24 months depending on the surroundings, because softwashing kills the growth at the root rather than just rinsing it off. Shaded, damp or tree-covered walls may regrow sooner.
Can softwashing remove red, green or black staining?
Yes. Softwashing targets and kills the algae, moss and lichen behind red, green and black staining on render, brick and stone, with repeat treatments for especially stubborn marks.
Will it affect nearby plants or grass?
We dampen surrounding greenery before and rinse it after, use biodegradable solutions, and shield delicate planting where needed, so your garden is protected.
