About Midland Render Care
Midland Render Care is a family-run render cleaning business based in Swadlincote, covering the East and West Midlands. It is a partnership run by Stephen and Sheridan Fudge — a render cleaning specialist who carries out every clean himself. No subcontractors, no rushed crews — just careful work, done the way render should be.
Meet Stephen Fudge
"I have spent over 25 years cleaning the outside of buildings. I have seen what a pressure washer does to render, and I will never do that to your home."
I started in exterior cleaning back in 2000. Before that, I worked as a Local Authority Cleaning Inspector, where my job was to check that cleaning work was done to a proper standard. That habit of holding a job to a standard never left me.
Over the years I came to specialise in render, because it is the surface most often got wrong. Too many people reach for a pressure washer, and on soft render that does real, lasting damage. I clean render the way the manufacturers say it should be cleaned — with soft washing, low pressure, and the right treatment for the surface.
That inspector's eye is also why I think you deserve to know what to look for before you let anyone near your walls — me included. I have set out the six questions I'd ask any render cleaner, the same ones I'd want my own family to ask.
Today I run Midland Render Care from our base in Swadlincote, cleaning render across Derby, Burton, Nottingham, Leicester and the wider Midlands. Every job I take on, I do myself.

A small business that answers the phone
Midland Render Care is a partnership between Stephen and Sheridan Fudge. We are a small, local, family-run business — not a national chain or a franchise. When you call, you reach the people who own the business and do the work.
Being local matters. We are based in Swadlincote, so most of the Midlands is a short drive away. That means quick visits, no big travel charges, and someone who knows the area and its housing. We have built this business on doing render properly and being straight with people, and we plan to be here for the long run.
