House washing in Nowra and Bomaderry

Green on the south wall, black under the eaves, cobwebs and grime on the frames. A soft house wash lifts it without hurting paint or render.

Why houses go green here

Damp air off the river, shady blocks under gums, and walls that don't get much sun. Mould and algae love it. You'll usually see it first on the south side, under the eaves and around gutters, then on window frames and fences.

How we wash a house

  • Plants near the walls are wet down before we start
  • Windows and doors are closed and checked
  • Walls are treated with a cleaning solution, then rinsed at low pressure
  • Eaves, gutter faces, frames and sills are done as part of the job
  • Paths and decks are rinsed so you're not left with runoff

Brick can take a bit more pressure; render, paint, weatherboard and modern cladding can't. Each surface gets what it can handle, which is the whole point of having someone experienced do it.

Before selling or renting out

A house wash, a roof clean and a driveway clean are the cheapest way to make a property look looked-after in listing photos. Tell Noah your deadline when you ask for a quote and he'll fit the day around it.

Eaves and the bits people miss

Under the eaves is where spiders, dust and mould sit, and it's the first thing you notice once the walls are clean. It's part of every house wash, not an extra.

If your gutters are full, getting them done the same day stops dirty water staining clean walls in the next storm. See gutter cleaning.

House washing questions

Will a house wash damage my paint or render?

Painted walls, render and cladding are washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution, not blasted. That's what keeps paint and render intact.

Do you clean the eaves and windows frames?

Yes. Eaves, gutters faces, window frames and sills are part of a house wash. Fly screens can be taken down and rinsed if you'd like.

Can you wash a two-storey house?

Yes. Two-storey homes are washed from the ground with extension equipment where possible, and from ladders where it's safe.

How long does a house wash take?

Most single-storey homes are done in a few hours. Bigger homes or a house wash with a roof clean can take a full day. Your quote will say.
