Render gives a home a clean, modern finish — but over time, algae, mould and pollution turn white or cream render green, red, or grey. Pressure washing render is risky: too much force can crack the surface, force water behind the render, or strip the paint. That is why Jet Kings uses soft washing for all render cleaning across Leicester. Our low-pressure, biocide-based approach kills the organic growth at the root and lets the treatment do the work over several weeks. From pebbledash semis in Coalville to smooth rendered new-builds in Lutterworth, we restore render to its original colour without damaging the surface.
Over 10 years of experience, 500+ happy customers, and a method matched to your surface — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every render cleaning job starts with a proper assessment. We check the surface material, its condition, how water drains, and any specific problems like staining or organic growth. Then we choose the right method — not the same setting for every job.
Different surfaces need different pressures, nozzles and treatments. Here is what we work with and how we approach each one for render cleaning in Leicester:
Common on modern and new-build homes. Shows algae staining clearly. Soft washing restores the clean finish without marking.
The textured surface traps dirt and algae. Soft washing reaches into the texture without dislodging the stones.
A textured, weather-resistant finish. Needs gentle cleaning to avoid damaging the surface texture.
We assess the paint condition first. Soft washing is safe for sound paint but we avoid cleaning where paint is already flaking.
Leicester properties face particular challenges from the local climate, tree cover and housing types. These are the issues we deal with most often:
The most common render problem in Leicester. North and east-facing walls are worst affected. Our biocide treatment kills the algae and it weathers away naturally.
Often found near gutters, downpipes and shaded corners. Soft washing removes the mould and the treatment prevents quick regrowth.
Render near busy roads develops a grey, dirty appearance. Soft washing lifts the grime without damaging the surface.
White, powdery mineral deposits that sometimes appear on newer render. We can advise on whether cleaning or natural weathering is the best approach.

Soft washing uses low-pressure water and a biocide cleaning solution to kill algae, mould and bacteria on the render surface. Unlike pressure washing, it does not risk cracking the render, forcing water behind it, or stripping paint. The biocide continues working for weeks after application.
The initial clean will show improvement immediately, but the full effect of the biocide treatment develops over 4-8 weeks as the dead algae and mould weather away. This gradual improvement is normal and means the treatment is working at the root.
Yes. We rinse windows, doors and frames after applying the treatment to prevent any residue. uPVC, aluminium and timber frames are all compatible with the cleaning products we use.
Yes, as long as the paint is in sound condition. If the paint is already flaking or bubbling, cleaning may lift more paint and we will advise you before starting. We never pressure wash painted render — soft washing only.
Most rendered homes benefit from cleaning every 3-5 years. Properties in shaded areas, near trees, or on busy roads may need more frequent attention. A fungicidal wash can extend the time between cleans.
Our biocide treatment significantly slows regrowth by killing the algae at the root rather than just washing it off the surface. Most render stays clean for 2-4 years. A maintenance spray can extend this further.
