Why Pebbledash Requires A Different Cleaning Approach
Unlike many exterior wall surfaces, pebbledash contains countless small crevices and textured areas where algae, moss, dirt, and organic contamination can establish themselves. This makes it more challenging to clean than smooth render, brickwork, or painted walls.
Over time, these contaminants can leave properties looking tired, stained, and poorly maintained. In Cornwall’s coastal and damp conditions, algae and organic growth can develop particularly quickly, especially on shaded elevations that receive limited sunlight.
Professional pebbledash cleaning helps remove these contaminants while improving the overall appearance of the property and helping to maintain the condition of the exterior finish.
Many customers contact us after noticing:
- Green algae staining
- Black spots and organic growth
- General weather discolouration
- Dirty or patchy exterior walls
- Moss growth on textured surfaces
- Uneven colouring across elevations
If left untreated, these issues often continue to worsen over time, making restoration more difficult and affecting the overall appearance of the property.
Why Pressure Washing Is Not Always Suitable For Pebbledash
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding pebbledash cleaning is that high-pressure washing is always the best solution.
While pressure washing can be highly effective for many hard exterior surfaces, pebbledash often requires a more controlled approach. Excessive pressure can potentially damage weaker areas, disturb loose aggregate, or fail to fully address the underlying biological growth causing the staining.
This is why we often recommend our specialist softwashing service for pebbledash properties.
Softwashing uses carefully selected cleaning treatments that target algae, moss, lichen, and organic contamination at the root source rather than simply removing surface staining. The treatment continues working after application, helping reduce regrowth and deliver longer-lasting results.
Every property is assessed individually to determine the most suitable cleaning method before work begins.

Our Pebbledash Cleaning Process
Property Assessment
Every project begins with an assessment of the surface condition, level of contamination, accessibility requirements, and overall cleaning objectives.
Selecting The Appropriate Cleaning Method
We determine whether softwashing, specialist exterior cleaning treatments, or alternative methods will provide the safest and most effective result for the property.
Application Of Treatment
Specialist cleaning solutions are applied to target algae, moss, lichen, and staining across the affected surfaces.
Ongoing Treatment Action
Unlike some cleaning methods that only address visible contamination, softwashing treatments continue working after application to help reduce regrowth over time.
Final Inspection
Once completed, we assess the results and provide any recommendations for future maintenance where appropriate.
Why Pebbledash Cleaning Requires Specialist Knowledge
Because pebbledash is an uneven and highly textured surface, results can vary depending on the age of the property, level of contamination, previous maintenance, and overall condition of the substrate.
In some situations, additional treatment applications or future maintenance visits may be beneficial to achieve the optimum long-term outcome.
Being transparent about these factors is an important part of our approach. We believe customers should understand the condition of their exterior surfaces and the realistic results that can be achieved before work begins.
This honest advice helps ensure every customer receives the most appropriate solution for their property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about professional pebbledash cleaning.
What is the best way to clean pebbledash?
In many cases, softwashing is one of the most suitable methods for cleaning pebbledash because it targets algae, moss and organic growth without relying solely on high pressure.
Can pressure washing damage pebbledash?
Certain pebbledash surfaces may not be suitable for aggressive pressure washing. We assess each property individually before recommending the most appropriate cleaning method.
How long do softwashing treatments last?
The longevity of results varies depending on environmental conditions and the level of exposure to moisture and organic growth. Maintenance treatments can help manage future regrowth.
How often should pebbledash be professionally cleaned?
Many properties benefit from professional cleaning every few years, although this depends on location, surrounding vegetation and exposure to weather conditions.
Why does pebbledash turn green?
Green staining is usually caused by algae growth, particularly on surfaces exposed to moisture, shade and limited sunlight. This is especially common in damp coastal environments.
