House Washing
The mistake is putting a turbo nozzle on a render wall: it chips the paint and a flake of the substrate with it, and the wall is exposed within two months. A soft-wash breaks the mould at the root and rinses it away at low pressure. The paint stays where it was.
What this job includes.
- ✓Soft-wash detergent matched to render, weatherboard or painted brick, applied to break mould and salt without lifting paint.
- ✓Window frames and eaves included; glass is a separate trade, and we say so rather than leaving streaks.
- ✓Garden beds against the walls wet down and protected first, then rinsed off so no detergent sits on the foliage.
- ✓Older homes assessed for lead paint and asbestos sheeting on the walk-around, with the safe approach explained before we start.
A written quote, built line by line.
The surface, the method for it, the scope and the realistic life span, all named so you can compare it like with like.
- 1 The surface, named. Tile or Colorbond, render or weatherboard, concrete or aggregate. We write down what we are actually working on, because the method follows the surface.
- 2 The method for that surface. Soft-wash biocide, degreaser dwell-time, the right nozzle. The right pressure for the surface, not a one-size blast.
- 3 The scope, in writing. Exactly what is included and what is not. A clean, a repair pathway, or both, named so you can compare quotes like with like.
- 4 The realistic life span. How long the result actually holds on this coast, and the maintenance cycle that keeps it there. No lifetime numbers.
- 5 Open items and the cap. Anything we cannot see until we are up there, flagged before we start, with a cap on what a variation can add to the invoice.
What happens, step by step.
Tell us about the job
Call, or send a few photos through the form. Enough for us to see the surface, the condition and the access.
Walk-around or a photo quote
For most jobs a walk-around or your photos is enough. We diagnose whether you need a clean, a repair pathway, or both, before we quote.
A written plan and price
A real number on a written quote with the scope named, the realistic life span, and any open items flagged. No from $ guesses.
The job, done to the surface
We turn up when we say, pick the method for each surface, contain the run-off, and leave the place tidy.
The walk-through
We walk you over the finished work, hand over any photos, and tell you the maintenance cycle that keeps the result there.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability insured, certificate on request, and a workmanship guarantee in writing, with the realistic product life span named upfront, all in writing, all on request.
Public liability cover protects you if something goes wrong on site, and the Work Safe at Heights ticket means the roof work is done by people trained for it. For building-type work we name the QBCC or NSW Fair Trading licence that applies by state. The workmanship guarantee is in writing, with the realistic product life span named upfront rather than a lifetime promise.
