Exterior Cleaning in Cork
Irish weather leaves its mark on the outside of a house: green algae on render, black streaks under the sills, grime on fascias and soffits. We wash it off with the right method for each surface, using a gentle soft wash on render and painted finishes rather than blasting them with high pressure. We cover Cork City, Douglas, Ballincollig, Glanmire, Carrigaline and Cobh and everywhere else in the county.

Time to book if you've got
- Green or black patches on the render, usually on the shaded side
- Streaks running down from the windowsills
- Fascias and soffits looking grey instead of white
- The house looking tired next to freshly painted neighbours
How we do it
Step by step.
- 01
Assess
We check what the walls are made of and how they're finished, because that decides the method.
- 02
Protect
Plants, windows and anything delicate gets covered or rinsed down first.
- 03
Soft wash
A low-pressure clean with a treatment that breaks down algae and grime without damaging the surface.
- 04
Rinse
Everything rinsed off and the area left tidy.
Best time to book
Spring to early autumn, ideally in a dry spell. Done before you paint, it gives the new paint a clean surface to grip.
In Cork
Salt air on the Cork coast leaves a film on render and windows, and damp shaded walls go green within a couple of winters. A soft wash lifts both. East Cork and the harbour towns take salt air off the sea, which dulls render and windows faster than you'd think. West Cork gets the full Atlantic rain, so moss and green algae get a grip on paths, walls and roofs quickly.

Will power washing damage my render?
High pressure can, which is why we don't use it on render or painted walls. A soft wash does the cleaning with treatment, not force.
How long does it stay clean?
It depends on how much shade and rain the wall gets, but because the treatment kills the algae rather than just rinsing it off, it comes back much more slowly.
Should I clean the walls before painting?
Yes. Paint over algae and dirt doesn't bond properly and starts to fail early. A wash first is the cheapest way to make a paint job last.
