Cleaning mould/damp & painting lime render

Hi all
My OH recently had her house renovated and looked lovely.
However a pipe is leaking in the garden (water board are on their way) but the outside back of the extension has, from the bottom, turned black and green with the mould & damp.
They will hopefully deal with the leak asap, but can anyone give me ideas of how I go about cleaning the mould off (I assume I just let the damp dry out) and what should I use to paint the render, which us the old fashioned lime/horsehair render.
Any advice gratefully received.

you could try polycell's 'mould killer' - very effective, and available from b&q.0

Hi, Scrub with Cuprinol algea/mould killer, leave 24 hrs then paint on an exterior paint, Weathershield do a good one that has an anti-fungus in it.
I am a painter/decorator and have used these to great effect.
You could also ask the W.B. to pay towards the cost as their leak caused the problem.
Good Luck0
