What is Exterior Wall Cleaning in Bournemouth & Poole?
Plenty of firms will point a high-pressure lance at your brick and clean it hard. We don't work like that on masonry. Brick, pebbledash and painted walls are porous and softer than they look, and too much pressure can drive water into the brick, dislodge the stones on pebbledash, or strip paint and pointing. So on walls we soft wash instead.
A soft wash is low pressure with a cleaning treatment that does the work. It clears the green, the black and the grime from the surface without that risk. We always take care over the pressure we use on a surface, and on a wall that means going gently and letting the treatment lift the dirt. That decision is already made before we turn up, from the photos you send us.
The walls we clean are brick, painted masonry, pebbledash, natural stone, and garden and boundary walls. If your wall has gone green or tired and it's one of those, you're in the right place. If you've got render rather than brick, that's a different job and we have a separate render cleaning page for it. Render takes a soft wash too, but the surface is a coating rather than porous masonry, so we keep them apart.
The treatment doesn't just clean it, it kills the spores that turn it green in the first place. That's why a proper soft wash holds for a good while rather than going straight back the way it was. To be honest, nothing outside stays clean forever, but this lasts a lot longer than a quick wash that only shifts the surface.
If a wall looks like even a soft wash could lift the paint or damage it, we'll tell you straight rather than take the risk. We treat every property as if it were our own, leave little to no mess, and you only pay once the job's done.

How It Works
Assess the wall and decide the method
We look over the wall and the growth on it from your photos, and work out the right way to clean it before we arrive. On brick, pebbledash and painted masonry that's a soft wash, not high pressure. The call is made before we turn up, so there's no risk to your wall.
Set up and protect what's around it
We arrive with the van already packed and set up. We check where the water will run off so you're not left with puddles or mess, and we take care around any planting at the base of the wall. We treat every property as if it were our own.
Soft wash and let the treatment work
We apply the soft wash at low pressure and let the treatment lift the green, the black and the grime. No hard washing that drives water into the brick. We take real care over stubborn staining and stay on it without forcing the surface.
Final rinse and tidy up
We give the wall a final rinse, clear up any dirt, and leave everything clean and tidy. The wall is left looking how it should, and you only pay once it's done.
We understand the concerns
Here's what we hear from clients before they book, and how we put each one right.
Worried about being let down?
Quick jobs with poor results give this trade a bad name. We don't rush and we don't cut corners. Every job is fully insured with £1 million public liability, and you only pay once the work's done and you're happy with it.
Worried the pressure will damage your brick or pebbledash?
It can, if someone cleans it too hard. Brick is porous and pebbledash will lose its stones under high pressure. That's why we soft wash walls instead. Low pressure, with a treatment doing the work, so the dirt comes away and the wall doesn't.
Worried it'll just come back green?
A quick wash on its own won't hold. The soft wash treatment kills the spores that turn the wall green, not just the surface dirt. So it stays clean for a good while rather than going green again next month.

Josh
Kinson
Kain did our patio in Kinson and it came up like new. He didn't rush it, cleaned up after himself, and the price was exactly what he said. Couldn't recommend him more.
Andy
Parkstone
Really happy with the work. He talked me through what he was doing and why, and left everything spotless. Buzzing with how it turned out.
Gayna

Brought our tired decking back to life. Careful, honest and you can tell he actually cares about doing it properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best thing to clean exterior walls with?
On porous walls like brick and pebbledash, a soft wash. That's low pressure with a cleaning treatment that lifts the green and grime from the surface. High pressure might look quicker, but it can drive water into the brick or knock the stones off pebbledash, so it isn't worth the risk on a wall.
How much does it cost to clean exterior walls or brickwork?
Cleaning is £3.50 per square metre. Send us a photo of the wall and your rough m² and we'll give you the exact price before we come out. You only pay once it's done.
Can you pressure wash brickwork?
We'd soft wash it rather than use high pressure. Brick is porous and high pressure can damage the brick face and the pointing. A soft wash clears the green and grime at low pressure, with the treatment doing the work, so the wall is cleaned without that risk.
How do you clean pebbledash?
Gently, with a soft wash. High pressure dislodges the stones, so we never use it on pebbledash. The low-pressure treatment lifts the green and dirt away without forcing the surface. If a wall looks like even that could damage it, we'll tell you straight rather than take the risk.
Is it worth cleaning bricks?
If your brickwork has gone green, black or tired, a proper soft wash brings it back and makes the whole house look cared for. The treatment kills the spores too, so it isn't a job you'll be repeating in a month. To be honest, that's the difference between a quick wash and doing it properly.
Will it just come back green again?
Not quickly. A quick wash only shifts the surface dirt, but the soft wash treatment kills the spores that turn the wall green in the first place. Nothing outside stays clean forever, but this holds for a good while rather than going green again next month.
Do you clean render as well as brick?
Yes, but render is a different job and we have a separate page for it. Render takes a soft wash too, but it's a coating rather than porous masonry, so we keep the two apart. If you've got render, head to our render cleaning page. If it's brick, pebbledash, painted masonry or a garden wall, you're in the right place.
Do you cover Poole as well as Bournemouth?
Yes. We cover Bournemouth, Poole and the towns around them, including Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne and more. If you're not sure we reach you, send us your postcode and we'll let you know.
