Exterior Cleaning in Maldon
From the hill-top High Street down to Hythe Quay, Maldon's homes take a battering from the damp estuary air. We bring render, driveways, roofs and gutters back to life across Maldon and the Blackwater villages — safely, and with results that last.
We're based just up the road in Chelmsford and work in and around Maldon every week, covering Heybridge, Heybridge Basin, Wickham Bishops, Great Totham, Tolleshunt D'Arcy and Tollesbury. Whether it's a rendered semi up on Fambridge Road, a period cottage near the Hythe, or a newer home on one of the estates off Limebrook Way, we have the right treatment for it.
Why Maldon properties green up so fast
Living beside the Blackwater estuary is lovely — but it's hard on the outside of a house. The air stays humid for much of the year, and walls and roofs that face north or east dry slowly, giving algae, lichen and black spotting exactly the damp conditions they thrive in. It's why so many Maldon and Heybridge Basin homes go green again within a season of a quick blast.
The answer isn't more pressure — it's the right treatment. Our softwash applies a biocide that kills the growth at the root, so the finish stays clean for years rather than weeks, and there's no risk of forcing water into porous render or old brickwork.

Care with Maldon's older buildings
Maldon has a lot of age to it — the timber-framed and weatherboarded buildings around the High Street and Hythe, soft lime render, and old clay-tiled and slate roofs. None of these should ever meet a pressure washer. We assess what you have first and use the gentlest effective method, and we're fully insured for complete peace of mind. If you have a listed or period property, just tell us and we'll advise before we quote.
What does exterior cleaning cost in Maldon?
Every job is priced individually — the size and height of the property, how heavy the staining or moss is, and access all affect it, so we'd rather quote your actual job than print a figure that might not fit. Send a photo and your postcode for a free, no-obligation price, usually the same day. See how our pricing works.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Maldon and the surrounding villages?
Yes. We cover Maldon (CM9) and the surrounding area including Heybridge, Heybridge Basin, Wickham Bishops, Great Totham, Tolleshunt D'Arcy and Tollesbury. We're based nearby in Chelmsford, so we're in the Maldon area regularly.
Why does render go green so quickly near the estuary?
Properties near the Blackwater sit in damp, humid air for much of the year, and north or east-facing walls dry slowly — ideal conditions for algae and black spotting. A softwash kills the growth at the root so it stays clean far longer than a quick pressure wash.
Can you clean older and listed properties in Maldon?
Yes. The older streets have soft lime render, weatherboarding and period roofs that should never be pressure washed. We work at low pressure with the correct treatments, and we're fully insured. Tell us what you have and we'll advise the safe method.
