Softwashing in Cranbrook
Low pressure biocide treatment for render, roofs and surfaces water alone would damage.
Softwashing for Cranbrook homes and businesses
We carry out softwashing for homeowners and businesses across Cranbrook and the surrounding Kent villages. Low pressure biocide treatment for render, roofs and surfaces water alone would damage.
The Weald villages around Cranbrook bring mature tree cover, tile-hung elevations and natural stone that need a careful, low pressure approach.
Softwashing solves a problem pressure washing cannot: how to clean a surface that would be damaged by force. Instead of relying on water pressure, it applies a cleaning solution at low pressure and lets the chemistry break down the algae, lichen and organic staining.
What we find in Cranbrook
- Roof and tile-hanging softwashing without disturbing old fixings.
- Natural stone terraces and steps cleaned at controlled pressure.
- Gutter clearing on barn conversions and period homes.
What the job includes
- Surface assessment and test area
- Protection of planting, paths and adjacent surfaces
- Low pressure application of a suitable biocide solution
- Dwell time, agitation and rinsing as the surface requires
- Follow-up advice on what to expect over the following weeks
- Combination work where part of the property suits pressure washing instead
How we work
- Identify the surface. Confirm the material and finish, and agree a test area.
- Protect. Cover or pre-wet planting and shield anything that should not be treated.
- Apply and dwell. Low pressure application, left to work for as long as the surface needs.
- Rinse and review. Rinse down, then explain how the surface will continue to improve.

FAQs
Softwashing in Cranbrook — common questions
How much does softwashing cost in Cranbrook?
Every Cranbrook property is different, so we price on the size and condition of the job rather than a flat rate. Send us a few photos or the address and you will get a fixed written quote back — no call-out fee and no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Cranbrook?
Yes. We cover Cranbrook and the surrounding area, including Tunbridge Wells, Tenterden, Maidstone. We are based in Maidstone, so Cranbrook is a regular run for us.
What is softwashing?
Cleaning a surface with a low pressure application of a biocide solution rather than with water pressure. The chemistry breaks down algae, lichen and organic staining, and the surface is then rinsed.
What is the difference between pressure washing and softwashing?
Pressure washing removes dirt by force and suits hard, durable surfaces such as concrete and block paving. Softwashing removes biological growth by treatment and suits render, painted surfaces and most roofs.
Is softwashing suitable for render?
It is generally the recommended method for render. High pressure can crack, mark or saturate a rendered elevation, whereas a low pressure treatment cleans it without that risk.
Will it harm my plants?
We protect and pre-wet planting, control overspray and rinse afterwards. Tell us about anything particularly precious and we will take extra care around it.
