It is worth setting out the whole maintenance cycle for a rendered wall in one place, since the individual stages make far more sense together than separately. The coating goes on and needs nothing for the first four or five years. It is dense, tight and dries quickly, and while spores land on it constantly none of them establish. Anybody offering to treat it during that period is selling something the building does not need. Somewhere between four and eight years the first treatment falls due. Green is visible on the shaded elevations, black streaking has begun beneath sills, and lichen has not yet established. That is the cheapest treatment the property will ever have, and it sets the pattern for everything afterwards. From there the cycle runs at three to five years, set by aspect, shelter, exposure, absorbency and what surrounds the building. Each visit is a straightforward single application, priced twenty to thirty per cent below a first clean, and second applications are almost never required. In between, the useful work is free: planting cut back, rainwater goods kept clear, the base of elevations kept free of stored material and a look at the shaded walls each late winter. Eventually the coating itself reaches the end of its life, twenty-five years or more from application, and at that point recoating rather than cleaning becomes the question. Properties in Guilden Morden are given that whole picture at the first survey, elevation by elevation, so the decisions across the next two decades rest on something better than guesswork.
What remains available after a job has been paid for is worth setting out, because in this trade the relationship is measured in years rather than days. The record stays. The survey findings, the grading applied to each elevation, the method used and photographs taken before and after are held indefinitely and provided on request at any point, which is useful for a sale pack, a warranty file or simply for comparison at the next visit. The advice stays too. Anybody who wants a wall looked at, has spotted something they cannot explain or wants an opinion on a photograph is welcome to ask, and that costs nothing and produces no unsolicited quotation. Return visits remain free. Where a customer thinks growth has come back early, Pro Clean Xtreme goes and looks rather than discussing it remotely, and where a wall genuinely was under-treated it is retreated at no charge. A single reminder is available when the expected interval falls due, sent once, with no offer attached and nothing repeated seasonally. Anyone who would rather not receive it can say so. There is no contract, no standing arrangement, nothing held on account and nothing whatever to cancel at any stage. None of that depends on a customer having spent anything recently. A property treated four years ago and a property treated last month receive exactly the same access to the record, the same free return visit and the same honest answer to a question. Where a property changes hands, the previous owner’s record is not passed on without their agreement, and a new owner starts with a fresh survey. Householders in Guilden Morden therefore finish a job with a treated building, a complete written record and a business that is still there in four years when the wall needs looking at again.
It is worth putting a figure to what keeping a rendered house presentable actually costs across the whole life of the coating, since the individual visits give a misleading impression. Take a semi-detached property rendered today, with an expected coating life of twenty-five years or so. The first treatment falls due at around six years and prices at the lower end of the £400 to £620 band, since the growth is still light. Subsequent visits on a four-year cycle price twenty to thirty per cent below that, at roughly £370 to £430 each. That comes to five or six treatments across the period and a total somewhere between £2,300 and £2,900, which annualises to around £95 to £120. A detached property at £550 to £880 works out at roughly £130 to £170 a year on the same basis, and a terraced house at £280 to £430 nearer £70 to £90. Set against that, recoating a semi-detached property costs several thousand pounds, and a coating kept dry throughout its life reaches renewal in noticeably better condition than one left permanently saturated. Doing nothing at all is the expensive option rather than the free one, since it brings that renewal forward by years. Those figures assume the render is sound and the property is on a sensible cycle. A wall left until growth is entrenched costs more per visit and needs second applications, and one left until the coating is failing stops being a cleaning question altogether. Single-storey buildings work out lower again, at roughly £45 to £80 a year on the £180 to £400 band, since there is less wall and no access equipment involved at any point. Properties in Guilden Morden are given an honest expected interval at the first survey so the whole figure can be planned rather than met in unwelcome instalments.

Private landlords with a handful of properties occupy an awkward position in this trade, and the work is arranged with that in mind. The portfolio is usually small and scattered: a few houses or flats acquired over the years, frequently of different ages and construction, sometimes managed by an agent and sometimes not, and rarely close enough together to be treated in a single visit. Budgets are personal rather than corporate, so a schedule showing every property with its own price and its own priority allows work to be phased across years rather than committed to all at once. Tenants are the practical consideration. Notice is issued through whoever manages each property, covering dates, working hours, whether windows should stay closed and any effect on parking or garden use, and elevations are phased so nothing is unavailable for long. Access is the commonest complication, since a landlord frequently cannot guarantee entry to a rear garden, so the route is agreed at survey and confirmed with the tenant before a date is set. Documentation matters more than it does for an owner-occupier, since risk assessments, method statements, COSHH data sheets and insurance certification are all things a landlord may need to produce. Photographs before and after each elevation are provided as standard, which is useful evidence of maintenance for anybody managing property remotely. Grouping helps considerably where two or three properties sit close enough together, since one mobilisation covering several addresses reduces the figure for each, and separate quotations and invoices are still issued per property. Landlords and letting agents responsible for properties in Guilden Morden can arrange surveys across a whole portfolio, receive fixed prices per address and agree a phased programme.
