Render painting and re-coating in Rainham. Cleaned, stabilised and coated with breathable masonry paint or a full re-coat system. Fixed quotes.
Washed down, treated for algae, stabilising primer where the surface is chalky.
On solid walls the coating has to let moisture out, or you cure the look and cause the damp.
Where a thin coat will not do, a proper re-coat gives a new finish without stripping the render.
If the render underneath is failing, coating it is money wasted and we will say so.
On damp, shaded or river-facing walls the coating includes a biocide additive, so the green comes back far more slowly.
The side of a Rainham house that stays damp longest gets the most preparation, because that is where a coating fails first.

A sound render that has gone green and chalky needs cleaning, stabilising and coating, not replacing, and that costs a fraction of the alternative. Near the river, algae is the usual culprit and it looks far worse than it is.
Rainham houses close to the river and the marshes stay damper than those further inland, and that is exactly the kind of wall where green algae returns quickly after a clean. The coating matters as much as the cleaning: a breathable finish with an algae-resistant additive keeps a Rainham frontage clean for far longer.
Usually not, and near the river in Rainham it is very common. Algae is a damp-and-shade problem, not a structural one. Cleaning, treating and coating costs far less than re-rendering.
On a modern cavity wall, often yes. On a solid interwar wall a non-breathable paint traps moisture in the brick and you get damp inside.
Ten years or so on a properly cleaned and stabilised wall, two on one coated over algae and chalk. The preparation is the job.
On a shaded or river-facing wall in Rainham, algae can start to return within a few years of a clean. An algae-resistant coating slows that down a great deal, and a gentle wash every few years keeps it at bay.
Yes. Once the wall is cleaned and stabilised, a breathable coating can go on in a new colour. Very light colours show algae sooner on damp walls, so a soft stone or grey is often the practical choice near the river.
A high-pressure jet can damage older or softer render and drive water into cracks. A low-pressure wash with a biocide treatment cleans the wall without harming the surface.
