Commercial building washing
Exterior washing for offices, retail, body corporate, light industrial and other managed properties, planned around access and site use.
Exterior cleaning services
The best clean is not always the hardest blast.
Paint, concrete, roofing, timber and glass do not all want the same treatment. We choose the method around the surface, the build-up and the result you need.
01
House washing
For the exterior you notice every time you pull into the drive.
Lift the grime without being rough on the finish.
Exterior walls slowly collect a mix of mould, algae, dust, cobwebs, traffic film and salt. A house wash is about removing that layer from the visible envelope of the home—cladding, eaves, soffits, fascia, exterior gutters and joinery—using an approach that suits the surface.
Painted weatherboards and rendered finishes are not concrete. Where a gentler clean is called for, soft washing uses cleaning action and controlled pressure rather than force alone. Harder areas can be handled differently within the same visit.
Good time to book
Before sale photos, before exterior painting, after a wet winter, or when the shaded walls stop looking like the sunny ones.

Delicate paint, recent repairs, difficult access, tanks, pets, gardens or any particular area you want us to look at first.
02
Roof washing & roof treatments
Two different routes to a cleaner roof. The right one depends on what is growing and how quickly you need to see the change.
Roof washing: when the result needs to be more immediate.
A roof wash removes surface build-up during the visit. It may suit a roof that needs a quicker visual improvement, but the method still has to respect the material, age, pitch, fixings and access. We inspect those factors before recommending a wash.
Roof treatment: a slower clean for moss, mould and lichen.
A treatment is applied and left to work. Organic growth dies, then weather gradually loosens and carries it away. It does not create an instant “after” photo, which is exactly why we explain the expected timeline before you choose it.
Roof wash may suit
A property being prepared for market, a time-sensitive presentation job, or surface build-up that is appropriate for controlled washing.
Roof treatment may suit
Moss, mould and lichen where a gradual process is acceptable and force is not the preferred answer.
03
Gutter & spouting cleaning
Because “it only overflows in heavy rain” is still an overflow.
Clear the route before the next downpour tests it.
Leaves, seed pods, roof grit and compacted organic debris can block the path to the downpipe. Gutter cleaning removes that build-up from accessible guttering and spouting so rainwater can move where it is meant to go.
If the outside of the gutter is marked as well, ask for a fascia and exterior gutter wash to be included. Clearing the inside and washing the visible face are different tasks, so we put the right one—or both—on the scope.
- Useful before wetter months or after nearby trees have dropped heavily
- Easy to pair with a house wash or roof treatment visit
- Access, height, roof pitch and gutter-guard systems can affect the plan
04
Deck, fence, driveway & concrete cleaning
Outdoor surfaces take the weather, foot traffic and whatever the garden drops on them.
Controlled pressure, not pressure for its own sake.
Water blasting can be effective on sound concrete and other durable surfaces. Timber and coated materials need more judgment. We adjust the method around the surface, its condition and what comes next—especially if a deck or fence is being prepared for oil, stain or paint.
Deck washing
Remove weather grime and organic growth while treating timber as timber, not a driveway.
Fence washing
Freshen painted, stained or bare fencing before upkeep, sale or a new finish.
Driveway cleaning
Lift surface dirt, tyre marks and organic growth from suitable hardstand areas.
Paths & patios
Clean the routes and outdoor spaces people use—and see—most often.
More exterior cleaning
Bring us the whole list.
A property rarely needs only one thing. These services can be scoped on their own or grouped with the main exterior clean.
Exterior window cleaning
Add exterior glass to a house or building wash so the finished property does not stop at the window frame.
Pre-paint washing
Remove loose grime and organic build-up before the painter assesses sanding, scraping, repairs and coating preparation.
Pre-sale washing
Prioritise the front elevation, entry, paths, gutters and other areas that shape first impressions and listing photos.
Solar panel washing
Exterior panel cleaning can be discussed alongside roof-access work, subject to panel layout, access and manufacturer guidance.
Farm & cowshed cleaning
Talk to us about exterior wash-down work for rural buildings. Scope, water, access and operational timing are confirmed before scheduling.
Which service do I need?
You can describe the result. We can name the work.
“The back wall is green, the gutters overflow near the garage and we want the place tidy before photos” is more useful than guessing at a package.
If the walls look dull or greenStart with a house wash quote. Add exterior gutters, eaves and joinery to the conversation.
If the roof has moss or lichenAsk us to compare a roof wash with a roof treatment after seeing the roof.
If water spills from the gutterAsk for internal gutter clearing; mention whether the visible gutter face also needs washing.
If timber or concrete is slipperyAsk for deck, path, patio or driveway cleaning and tell us whether a new coating is planned.
Service questions
Useful details before we quote.
Can several services be completed in the same visit?
Often, yes. A house wash, gutter clean and selected outdoor surfaces are a common combined scope. Roof work may need a different process or timing. We will separate the items clearly so you know what is being completed and what may need a follow-up.
Does water blasting damage paint or timber?
Too much pressure, used without judgment, can mark timber, force water where it should not go or disturb a tired coating. That is why we do not describe every exterior clean as water blasting. The method should match the material and its condition.
Can you wash a house before it is painted?
Yes, pre-paint washing removes exterior dirt and organic build-up so the next preparation stage starts on a cleaner surface. Washing does not replace a painter’s scraping, sanding, repairs, drying time or coating preparation; it supports them.
What affects the price of exterior cleaning?
Size is only one part. Height, access, roof pitch, surface type, amount of build-up, water access and the number of separate areas all affect the scope. A site visit lets us quote the actual property instead of guessing from a suburb and bedroom count.
