Will all the staining disappear on the day?

Most algae and mould disappear during the clean. Lichen and some deeper staining can take days or weeks to fade fully as the biocide continues working and rain washes away the dead growth. Rust, paint and some mineral stains are not organic, so they need a different treatment.

  • Note the type of surface, such as silicone render, painted render, brick, stone or concrete tiles
  • Ask which product will be used on your surface and request the safety data sheet
  • Confirm the work will be done at low pressure, not with a pressure washer on render or roofs
