Hi guys isn’t something I’d usually ask for on here but I’m in desperate need for advice!!

I had someone in to paint my fence with creosote or something alike & apparently they managed to get splashes all over my external wall of the house which I believe is k-rend.

Any advice of ways to remove it, whether it will need painting over or what not?

Get them to remove it/cover it at their own cost.

One of the factors with K rend is that it doesn't need painting, not sure if it will come off depends on how bad it is.

Maybe it is it’s natural colour, off white cream?

They say that K rend doesn't require painting but in time it goes shitty anyway and you'll end up painting it x

The cream is the standard colour like magnolia with paint you can get it in many colour variations. As for getting the splashes off you need to check if what they used was water or oil based, with water based it should wash off.

Alternatively try bleach on a test piece leave for five minutes then hose it thoroughly.

Oil based, I don’t believe it has been painted

Climbing plans can cause damage to rendering & structure unfortunately

Try pressure washing the panel. If that's fails you can buy paint for k rend. But my frist point of call would be the people who painted the fence it's on them to sort

You'll probably need some kind of solvent then. Or rather, the company that painted the fence will...

You could use chimney or stove cleaner that designed to remove creosote. Another option is use a mild liquid abrasive like brasso.
