Service Overview

Restore and Protect Your Home with Professional House Washing

Is your home looking dull, dirty, or covered in moss, mould, or lichen? Left untreated, organic growth doesn’t just look unsightly—it actively damages your property. Moss and lichen penetrate paintwork and cladding, causing deterioration that leads to costly repairs. Mould growth can affect indoor air quality and poses health risks to your family.

Our professional exterior house washing services remove grime safely and efficiently using techniques specifically designed for Northland’s humid, subtropical climate. We combine soft washing for delicate surfaces with high-pressure water blasting for durable materials, ensuring optimal results without damage.

Unlike DIY cleaning or inexperienced operators, we understand how different cladding materials respond to various cleaning methods. Our trained team adjusts pressure, temperature, and cleaning solutions based on your home’s specific needs—protecting your cladding, paint, and surroundings while restoring your home’s fresh appearance. You ask, we blast.

Our House Washing Process

A Safe and Effective 4-Step Cleaning Process

1

Pre-Inspection and Protection

We begin every house washing project with a comprehensive property assessment. Our team inspects your cladding type, identifies any existing damage, and plans our cleaning approach. We protect gardens, outdoor furniture, and sensitive areas with covers and barriers. Windows and doors are secured, and we discuss any specific concerns to ensure safe, effective cleaning without surprises.
2

Eco-Friendly Soft Wash and Water Blasting

Using the appropriate technique for your specific cladding, we apply our cleaning process. For delicate surfaces like weatherboard and painted timber, we use soft washing—a low-pressure technique with biodegradable cleaning solutions that gently lifts dirt and kills organic growth. For durable surfaces like brick and concrete, we employ controlled water blasting that removes stubborn grime without damage.
3

Dirt, Mould, and Lichen Removal

Stubborn dirt and biological growth are systematically removed from all exterior surfaces. We focus on problem areas where moss and lichen accumulate, including south-facing walls, areas under eaves, and shaded surfaces. Our biodegradable treatments clean and inhibit regrowth, providing longer-lasting results than simple pressure washing. We clean walls, eaves, barge boards, and exterior fixtures.
4

Final Rinse and Walk-Through

After cleaning, we thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove remaining cleaning solution and debris. We conduct a detailed quality inspection, then walk through the property with you to review results and address any questions. We provide maintenance recommendations and discuss optional services like roof cleaning or gutter cleaning that complement your house washing.

House Washing FAQs

Any questions?

Why should I clean the exterior of my house?

Regular exterior washing protects your property from damage and preserves its value. Northland’s humid climate encourages moss, mould, and lichen, which trap moisture and cause paint failure, timber rot, and cladding deterioration. Professional house washing removes these harmful growths, extends the life of your exterior surfaces, and keeps your home looking its best.

How often should I have my house washed?

Frequency depends on location, exposure, vegetation, and cladding type. In Northland, once or twice per year is generally ideal. Homes near the coast, shaded areas, or surrounded by trees may need more frequent cleaning. Homes in sunny, open areas may need less. We provide personalised recommendations during your free consultation.

Will the house washing process damage the cladding or paint?

No—when done by trained professionals. Regular washing actually protects cladding and paint by removing organic growth before damage occurs. We use soft washing for delicate surfaces and controlled pressure for durable materials. DIY cleaning often causes harm through excessive pressure; our expertise prevents that.

What does the house washing service include?

Our service covers soft washing or water blasting of exterior walls, cladding, eaves, fascia, downpipes, and other accessible surfaces. We apply biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove moss, mould, lichen, and stains. We protect your garden areas, complete pre- and post-clean inspections, and can add extras like window or gutter cleaning for full exterior maintenance.

Can you clean all types of cladding?

Yes. We clean timber and fibre-cement weatherboard, brick, concrete block, stucco, vinyl, metal, and painted surfaces. Each material gets a tailored approach to ensure safe, effective results.

Do I need to be home during the house washing?

Not necessarily. Being present for the consultation and final walk-through is helpful, but we can proceed without you and provide photos on completion if needed.

What other services do you offer?

We provide full exterior maintenance: roof cleaning and treatments, gutter cleaning, driveway and path cleaning, deck and fence restoration, window cleaning, solar panel cleaning, and GutterFoam installation. We service all of Northland, including Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, the Far North, and Whangarei.
