Soft washing across Edinburgh and Lothian

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. We provide soft washing in every part of Edinburgh, including Comely Bank and Craiglockhart to Liberton.

If you need soft washing in Edinburgh, you are in the right place. We work with homeowners, landlords, managing agents and commercial property owners across Lothian, and every job is priced up front so you know exactly where you stand.

Our Edinburgh jobs cover Tenement flats, Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and bungalows. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

With sandstone and granite buildings, tenements and a lot of older housing stock, properties across Lothian have a mix of render, brick, stone and cladding, each needing its own cleaning approach.

Landlords in Edinburgh often have render and fascias cleaned before marketing a property, because the exterior is the first thing in the listing photos.

Edinburgh soft washing: common questions

How do I get a quote in Edinburgh?

Simply use the quote form with your postcode, a few details of what you need and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.

Do you cover Comely Bank and other parts of Edinburgh?

Yes, we do. Our service covers all of Edinburgh, including Comely Bank, Craiglockhart, Liberton, Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge, as well as Livingston, Stirling, Perth and Dundee.

Which Edinburgh postcodes do you cover?

Every postcode in Edinburgh is covered, including EH1, EH3, EH4, EH6, EH7, EH9, EH10 and EH11. If you are just outside Edinburgh, let us know your postcode and we will check.

What does soft washing cost in Edinburgh?

Every job is different. Prices in Edinburgh come down to the scope of the work and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

Is soft washing safe for plants and pets?

It is when it is done properly. Plants are wetted before and rinsed after so they absorb less solution, delicate planting is covered, and run-off is diluted and directed away from beds and ponds. Pets should be kept indoors while the work is going on and until surfaces have been rinsed and dried.
