K-Rend clean in Bradley Stoke — soft-wash treatment over two visits

This job came in from a homeowner who had already turned away one quote after being told the render would simply be jet washed. The property was a typical BS32 newer-build with K-Rend on the main elevations and visible organic growth on the cooler faces.

The owner wanted the finish cleaner, but the bigger ask was confidence that the render would not be scarred or left patchy.

We quoted £695 including biocide pre-treatment and split the work over two visits. The first appointment covered assessment, surface prep, controlled application, and dwell time. The second visit handled the post-treatment clean down and final finish check once the product had done the heavier lifting.

That slower sequence was deliberate. K-Rend responds better when the chemistry is allowed to work instead of the operator chasing speed with raw force.

The written estimate covered two visits, treatment, access handling, and final rinse-down. There were no extras added once the job began because the scope was agreed properly up front.

The rear elevation lifted first, then the side walls followed as the treatment settled in. By handover, the dark streaking had eased back, the green growth had been dealt with, and the owner had a cleaner, more even finish without the surface looking punished.
