Commercial and exterior

House washing in Auckland

Exterior washing for homes and commercial buildings, using a soft wash treatment that kills the mould rather than just blasting the colour off it.

Exterior of an Auckland building being washed

House washing in Auckland means soft wash, not high pressure

Auckland's humidity means mould, moss and lichen come back on the south and west faces of almost every building. High pressure knocks the surface growth off and it returns within months, and on weatherboard, plaster and painted surfaces it can force water past the cladding.

A soft wash applies a treatment at low pressure, kills the growth at the root and rinses it off. The building keeps getting cleaner for a few weeks afterwards as the dead growth washes away in the rain.

We wash cladding, soffits, fascia, joinery, garage doors and fencing. Roofs are assessed individually because access and roof condition vary enormously.

What a building wash covers

Quoted on the building, the access and how long since it was last done.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked questions

What surfaces can you wash?

Weatherboard, plaster, brick, block, vinyl, timber and painted surfaces. The method changes with the surface, which is why we look before we quote.

How often should a building be washed?

Once a year for most Auckland properties. Shaded and south facing walls and anything near bush usually needs it more often.

Will it damage the paint or the cladding?

A soft wash is used precisely to avoid that. High pressure on cladding is what causes damage, which is why we do not use it there.

Do you clean the roof as well?

We assess roofs individually. Access and roof condition vary enormously and some roofs are not safe to walk.

What about my plants?

Garden beds against the building are wet down before and after, and we cover anything sensitive.

Why does it keep getting cleaner after you leave?

Because the treatment kills the growth at the root. The dead growth washes off gradually over the following weeks.
