Carrick Fergus Castle, Ireland, had become contaminated with organic growth, namely single cell green algae. This growth feeds off damp and minerals and there is very little From a heritage perspective this made the castle look poor condition, and if untreated longer term it risked damaging the stonework permanently. The custodians of the castle were obviously keen to attain great results, but also aware that all works should be as risk free as possible, with a treatment that would not put the public at any risk as this restoration was completed. Softwashing UK were invited to participate in this restoration project, and used all their expertise to deliver it on time and budget.
Safewash, a risk free and organic cleaning product, was used to treat and restore castle. This product has a biocidal effect, and killed and removed the offending organic growth. At no stage were workers, public, or wildlife, put at risk by chemicals, as Safewash is risk free. We operated with sensitivity as the castle is an important piece of heritage that must be respected. There were no complaints at any stage during the project. A large team were required to complete this project, and the project was expertly managed.
Using our expertise and the Safewash solution we were able to remove the single cell green algae, and leave Carrick Fergus Castle in great condition. You can judge for yourselves how effective the restorative treatment was by looking at the photos below. This restoration was a great success. Since this time Softwashing UK have won and completed numerous other stone restoration projects in both the public and private sector, and boast an impressive portfolio of successful stone restoration projects.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Google Mangao RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used this service a few times over the years for our house exterior, gutters, and patio, and they always do a great job. They’re reliable, thorough, and often go the extra mile, even with tough stains. Everything is left looking really clean, and they always explain things clearly. We’re very happy with the results and keep coming back.Posted on Google Gemma OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Softwashing UK was able to meet our gutter cleaning needs where others couldn’t. They were professional, reliable, and clearly knew what they were doing. They also did a fantastic job cleaning the render on our garage — it looks so much better now! Great service overall and I would definitely recommend them to others.Posted on Google Joseph KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Many thanks to Softwashing UK for their excellent work at a reasonable price. We had some long standing algae stains on the rendering of the rear walls on our property in Cardiff. And the admin team were great in providing a quote, planning the work, and visited our property beforehand to check access to complete the work. Excellent team who know what they are doing. We are really happy with the results, better than we expected. Thanks.Posted on Google Rich FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you very much!Posted on Google Paul WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks!Posted on Google Andrew CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again!Posted on Google Peter GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a director of and on behalf of Wardour Court Management Company and residents I wish to record our thanks to Gavin and his team. The property is a sensitive building constructed of Chilmark stone, it had not been cleaned for some time and was looking the worse for wear. They were all extremely efficient and professional as well as very pleasant and easy to talk to despite the difficulties they encountered, which included having to work 17 hours on one of the days. All the residents I have spoken to have expressed how pleased they are with the result, as are the directors of Wardour Court Management Co. We would happily use this company again and are equally happy to recommend them to others.
