The Job

Ker Street Development- at the time this was the UK’s biggest ever Render Cleaning project.

Many companies like to say “No job is too big”, but Softwashing UK can prove it.

In 2017 Softwashing UK were contracted by Housing Association Devon and Cornwall Housing (then called DCH) to clean hundreds of public sector houses rented from the Association by Residents in Plymouth, in the Ker Street area.

This was a huge project. Softwashing UK needed to tender against numerous national contractors to secure the business. This was attained due to Softwashing UK’s characteristic innovation – as this was not only the largest render cleaning project ever undertaken in the UK- but also the first to use Safewash – a hazard free and natural render cleaning solution that poses no risks to human, animal, or environmental health.

What We Did

The project was completed in three stages:

Doff Steam Cleaning – we used the system recommended by Historic England to remove the heavy build-up of organic growth-using low pressure and highly controlled high temperature steam.

Safewash application. We applied this organic solution to kill the single cell green algae, and red staining Aspergillus Niger at root.

Tightly controlled application of Lightning Cleanse – a fully label compliant solution to remove black staining from buildings immediately.

This project was delivered under CDM regulations.

The Results

This project was approximately to the value of £250K and was delivered on time and budget, with an impeccable health and safety record. No wonder DCH were absolutely delighted.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used this service a few times over the years for our house exterior, gutters, and patio, and they always do a great job. They’re reliable, thorough, and often go the extra mile, even with tough stains. Everything is left looking really clean, and they always explain things clearly. We’re very happy with the results and keep coming back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Softwashing UK was able to meet our gutter cleaning needs where others couldn’t. They were professional, reliable, and clearly knew what they were doing.

They also did a fantastic job cleaning the render on our garage — it looks so much better now!

Great service overall and I would definitely recommend them to others.

Many thanks to Softwashing UK for their excellent work at a reasonable price. We had some long standing algae stains on the rendering of the rear walls on our property in Cardiff.

And the admin team were great in providing a quote, planning the work, and visited our property beforehand to check access to complete the work.

Excellent team who know what they are doing. We are really happy with the results, better than we expected.

Thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again!
