Exterior Cleaning in Wickford
Wickford's streets of pebbledash semis, post-war bungalows and newer estates all have one thing in common — they go green and grubby over time. We bring render, driveways, roofs and gutters back to life across the town and the surrounding villages, safely and for a fair price.
We're based in Chelmsford and cover Wickford (SS11 and SS12) regularly, along with Runwell, Shotgate, Nevendon, Ramsden Heath and Ramsden Bellhouse. As a busy commuter town, a lot of Wickford's homeowners are out at work all week and simply want the outside of the house sorted without the hassle — which is exactly what we do.
Pebbledash and render — Wickford's most common job
Wickford grew quickly through the mid-20th century, and a huge number of its semis and bungalows are finished in pebbledash or render. Both have a rough, textured surface that traps dirt and holds moisture — so they green up readily, especially on the shaded side and under the eaves. The temptation is to pressure wash them, but that strips the surface and the algae just comes back. Our softwash treatment kills the growth at the root, so pebbledash and render come back evenly and stay clean for years.
The newer estates: driveways and modern render
Wickford and neighbouring Runwell have seen plenty of newer development, and those homes bring two common jobs: block-paved and resin driveways that gather algae and weeds, and modern render that greens up fast on the north side. We pressure wash driveways back to their original colour (with optional re-sanding to lock the joints), and softwash the render so it stays bright.

Do you cover Wickford?
Yes. We cover Wickford (SS11 and SS12) and the surrounding area including Runwell, Shotgate, Nevendon, Ramsden Heath and Ramsden Bellhouse. We're based in Chelmsford and work across this part of Essex regularly.
Can you clean pebbledash and rendered houses?
Yes — Wickford has a lot of them. The mid-century semis and bungalows are often pebbledash or render, which trap dirt and green up readily. We softwash both at low pressure, killing the algae at the root rather than blasting the surface.
Do you clean driveways on the newer estates?
Yes. The newer developments around Wickford and Runwell have a lot of block-paved and resin driveways that gather algae and weeds. We pressure wash them back to their original colour and can re-sand block paving.
