This is our own town, so we quote more render here than anywhere else. Here is where the pricing starts, what pushes a job up from there, and how to work out roughly where your own walls sit.
Starting figures, so you can tell straight away whether this is a fifty euro job or a five hundred euro one.
These are starting points, not prices you will be charged. What a softwash actually comes to depends on the substrate — smooth render, pebble dash, K-Rend and painted masonry all behave differently — how much surface there is, how far the growth has gone, and how we get to it. Two houses on the same road can sit a long way apart on those grounds alone. Send a photograph and you get a real figure for your own walls rather than a number off a list.
Three things, and between them they explain nearly every gap between two prices.
Substrate first, always. Smooth render, pebble dash, K-Rend and painted masonry each take a different dilution and a different pace, and dash in particular holds growth in a way smooth render never does. This is why we do not price by the square metre, since the metre is not the thing that varies.
A light film that has been there a season is a different job from a colony that has been thickening for five years. The deeper it has gone, the longer it has to dwell, and the longer we are at the house.
How much wall there is, whether we can reach it from the ground, and whether the gutters, the roof or the driveway are going on the same visit. Everything sharing the trip shares the getting-ready, which shows in the total.
From a photograph of your own walls, not from a rate card.
Send a picture of the elevation and your Eircode. From that we see the finish, how much surface there is and how far the growth has gone.
What the wall is made of decides how we treat it and how long it takes. In town this often lands lighter than expected, because a good share of what people see is road film sitting on top rather than growth bedded in.
Back comes one figure with what it covers and how long we will be there. Nothing gets added afterwards unless you ask us to, so you know the figure before we start.
One check and one short read, neither costing a penny.
That usually means the two are not describing the same work. One is washing the surface, the other is treating the organism. The guide sets out what a fair quote covers.
The Render Check walks you through what to look for from the ground in about a minute. A fair few people who run it find the walls will hold another season.
Anything added while we are already outside your door costs a good deal less than calling us back for it on its own.
Asked first by nearly everybody, and quite rightly.
No. Send the photographs and you get a figure, along with an honest view on whether the job needs doing at all this year.
We could, and it would be misleading. The same area of smooth render and of pebble dash are different amounts of work, and a light film and an established colony are different again. A rate would look precise and be wrong.
Almost always substrate or depth. A textured finish is more work than a smooth one of the same area, and five years of established colony is more work than one season of film. Access accounts for most of the rest.
Not a discount as such — a cost that stops repeating. Every visit carries the same getting-there and getting-ready before any cleaning starts, and combining jobs means paying for that once rather than three times.
The method, what goes on the wall and why treating outlasts washing. The full account sits on the main softwashing page.
A photograph and an Eircode turns every starting figure on this page into an actual price.

Send a photo of the walls and we will price it properly. Asking costs nothing, and in town it comes in under what people brace for more often than not.
