Built for Wellington conditions

Salt-laden air

Coastal suburbs collect a salt film that dulls paint and corrodes fixings. Regular washing is the cheapest way to make a paint job last longer.

Damp, shaded south faces

Wellington's shaded elevations grow mould and lichen quickly. We treat the growth rather than blasting it off, so it takes far longer to come back.

Steep drives and steps

Slippery concrete is a genuine hazard on hillside properties. Cleaning drives, steps and paths restores grip as well as appearance.

Questions we get asked

How often should a Wellington house be washed?
Once a year suits most homes. Properties near the south coast or Cook Strait, or under trees, often need it twice a year because salt, moss and mould build up faster.
What is the difference between soft washing and water blasting?
Soft washing uses low pressure with a treatment that lifts mould, lichen and grime from cladding, roofs and joinery without forcing water behind them. Water blasting uses high pressure and is for hard surfaces such as concrete drives, paths, retaining walls and some decks.
Will it damage my paint, cladding or planting?
We match the method to the surface and use low pressure on anything that can be forced or scoured. Garden beds and sensitive planting are wet down and protected before we start.
Do you clean roofs, drives and decks too?
Yes. Roofs, gutters, fences, decks, driveways, paths, retaining walls and steps can all be done in the same visit, which is usually cheaper than booking them separately.
