What Is Involved With Roughcast Cleaning?
Roughcast cleaning is a specialised process designed to restore the appearance and integrity of your homes exterior roughcast surface, which are textured exterior walls often made from a mixture of cement, sand, and small stones. Over time from exposure to the weather conditions in Glasgow, your walls can accumulate dirt, moss, algae, and other debris, making professional cleaning essential to maintain your homes exterior.
Listed below are some of the steps involved to complete professional roughcast cleaning:
Initial Inspection: The first step is to inspect your roughcast to determine its condition. Our professionals check for cracks, damage, or signs of wear and tear that may require repairs before cleaning.
Pre-Treatment with Biocide Cleaning Solution: We use a specialised biocidal wash that is applied to the surface of your walls before cleaning begins. This helps to kill moss, algae, lichen, and any other organic growth embedded in the roughcast’s textured surface. Pre-treatment ensures that these growths can be more easily removed during the cleaning process and that these issues are less likely to repeat themselves.
Soft Washing or Pressure Washing: Depending on the condition of your roughcast and its age, either soft washing or pressure washing is used to clean your exterior walls. Soft washing uses low pressure water combined with cleaning agents, which is ideal for older or delicate roughcast to prevent damage. For tougher grime on newer roughcast, controlled pressure washing is more likely to be applied.
Removal of Stains and Dirt: Stubborn stains, such as pollution marks or mould, are carefully treated using specialised cleaning products to avoid discolouration or damage to your roughcast.
Roughcast Repairs (if needed): After cleaning, any cracks or damaged areas roughcast repairs are carried out to ensure the surface is structurally sound and protected from future issues.
Protective Wall Coating or Masonry Paint (Optional): A protective coating or premium masonry paint can also be applied to enhance your roughcast’s durability, prevent future moss or algae growth, and keep your home vibrant and water resistant.
Final Inspection: A thorough inspection ensures that all dirt, stains, and growths are removed, leaving the roughcast looking clean and revitaliZed.
By following this detailed process on every roughcast cleaning job, our team ensures the best results for improved aesthetic appeal of your home and extending the life of your roughcast, protecting it from weathering and future damage.
