Roof to driveway, we wash the lot.
Low-pressure soft washing for homes across Horowhenua and the Kāpiti Coast. Pick the bit that's bugging you, or tick the lot.
What we get up to.
Four jobs on a home, from the roof down. Each one gets the method that suits the surface, because a timber deck and a tin roof don't want the same treatment.
House Wash
A low-pressure soft wash for the whole outside of the house. We put the treatment on, give it time to get to work on the mould and algae, then rinse it all off gently.
- Weatherboard, brick, plaster and cladding
- Plus the soffits and joinery
- Closer to a garden hose than a blaster
Roof Treatment
Moss and lichen get a low-pressure treatment that works on them where they grow, without high pressure on your tiles or iron. Fair warning, it's not instant. Moss and algae usually start dying back within weeks, lichen is slower and can take months, then the rain gradually washes it away.
- Moss, lichen and algae treated, not blasted
- Moss and algae die back in weeks, lichen can take months
- On tank water? Tell us when you book
Gutter Clean
A blocked gutter sends the rain down your walls and along the foundations instead of into the drain. We clear it out and run water through, so we know it's flowing before we pack up.
- Leaves, moss and silt out of every run
- Downpipes flushed so the water gets away
- Loose brackets and sagging runs pointed out
Landlords: a regular clean helps with the drainage part of the Healthy Homes standards, though on its own it doesn't make a rental compliant.

See Gutter CleanSurfaces
Everything you walk on, and the fence around it, cleaned at the pressure that suits it. Concrete can handle a firmer clean, but timber decks get a gentler wash, because high pressure tears up the grain and leaves it furry. And a mossy path in a wet winter is a slip waiting to happen.
- Concrete, exposed aggregate and pavers
- Timber and composite decks
- Fences, steps and patios
Got a whole complex to wash?
Body corporates, townhouse complexes and property managers, we'll quote the whole site in one go, not one house at a time.
We deal with the property manager or the committee, so owners aren't chasing us one by one. Every site gets scoped before we put a number on it, because access, height and parking change everything on a big job.
See CommercialHow a big quote comes together.
- You send the site size, the unit count and a few photos.
- We walk the site with you. Confirm: is a site visit standard for big jobs?
- A written quote covering the scope, the method and the timing.
- Confirm: what insurance and safety paperwork you can provide, e.g. a certificate of currency or a site-specific safety plan.
Not sure what you need?
Go by what you can see from the lawn, then tap the one that looks familiar.
Green or black on the walls
Usually mould or algae, and it's alive, not dirt. A house wash treats it.
House WashMoss or crusty patches on the roof
That's moss and lichen settling in. Treating them where they grow beats blasting the roof.
Roof TreatmentRain spilling over the gutters
If water pours over the edge, or there's a plant growing up there, it's blocked.
Gutter CleanA slippery path or deck
Moss and algae turn damp paths and steps into a winter slip hazard.
SurfacesA whole block of units
Townhouse complexes, apartment blocks and body corporate sites.
CommercialNone of the above
Or it just looks tired. Tick Something else on the form, tell us what you're seeing, and we'll tell you straight.
Tell us on the formNot everything wants a blasting.
A blaster has its place, like a tired concrete driveway. On most of your house it's the wrong tool, and you don't have to take our word for it.
Weatherboards
James Hardie's care guide for its Linea weatherboard says to wash it with low-pressure water and a brush, and not to use a water blaster on it.
Painted walls
Resene says houses should be washed every year to keep the paint looking good and shift salt and mould, and that a plain water rinse won't remove the spores. It takes a proper cleaning solution.
Older roofs and cladding
Some contain asbestos, and you can't tell by looking. WorkSafe says water blasting over 50 PSI must not be used on it, and points to soft washing instead.

Why not just water blast everything?

I'm on tank water. Is a roof treatment still okay?
