At Power Washing Services Ireland we specialise in removing algae from and render and cleaning off the green and red stains that so often appear on render substrates. Render is rightfully a very popular building material, used to finish, and insulate, exterior walls. It is very durable, usually with a guarantee of 25 years plus, and it is weather resistant. It also maintains its colour and is through coloured, so after several years it can look as fresh as the day it was applied. Like any building material it does require maintenance from time to time.

Various factors can cause the render to blow and to crack. After a period of time organic growth will take hold of render too, and this in its early stages is what leads to the red and green staining. The growth of render can be effected by various conditions. Moisture and humidity are also an issue, as organic growth feeds off water. Areas with higher rainfall tend to have more prevalence of organic growth. Poorly constructed buildings, or overhangs, have a real impact to, when water run-off is forced onto the wall. Plant life and vegetation also send spores that trigger growth on render.

At Power Washing Services Ireland we have made it our business to remove the red and green stains caused by organic growth from render. For more details about our red and green algae removal service, please give us a call to discuss your individual needs.
