Solar panel cleaning in Artarmon is mostly about what falls from above. The garden suburb was planted for shade, and a century on, that canopy drops a fine film across the array on every terracotta roof below. Federation homes here catch pollen, leaf dust and the same moss that greens the roof tiles, and none of it rinses off in a light shower.
A dirty panel still works. It just works less, and you never see the loss on the meter until it adds up. We clean with deionised water and soft brushes, so nothing dries with a mark and no pressure ever touches the seals or the framing. The film comes off, the cells see full sun again, and the numbers climb back to where they should sit. Every panel is photographed against the checklist before we leave the roof.
Put your address into the instant quote. A firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds, and it holds unless your roof is materially different to what you told us.
Every panel checked against the list before we call it done. Here is the finish it is done to.
Soft brush and pure water only. No film, no streaking, glass left clear to the edge.
Lifted off, not smeared. Baked-on spots worked until the glass is clean, never scraped.
Rinsed with de-ionised water so it dries spot-free. No mineral marks left behind.
Grime cleared from the aluminium seams where dust packs in and holds moisture.
Leaf litter and debris cleared from the gaps so water and air move as they should.
Checked for shading build-up. Corners cleaned so no cell sits in the shade of its own dirt.
None. No detergents, no acids. Nothing that voids a panel warranty or films the glass.
Every array photographed against the checklist at close. Cracks or faults flagged, not touched.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Artarmon, and the same person comes back each visit — no rotating crew, no call-centre between you and the work.
Booking a one-off? A couple of cleans a year adds up. The Schmick Plan folds the whole exterior into one monthly price and keeps it handled, so you never think about it again.

“Couldn’t fault them”
Had the windows and the driveway done. Turned up right on 8, finished before lunch, and the driveway honestly looks brand new. Same guy came back for the gutters last month and remembered our dog’s name. Couldn’t fault them.
“Should’ve done it years ago”
They sent me photos of what came out of our gutters. Revolting. Glad it’s gone. Lovely guys too.
“Came out after the storm”
We’re on their monthly plan. After that big blow in June they were out two days later and sorted everything without us having to chase. Worth it for that alone.
“Honest, which is rare”
Our sandstone wall had gone black and I’d assumed it was ruined. It’s come up beautifully. There was one damp patch he said needed a stone specialist rather than pretending he could fix it, which I appreciated. On time, tidy, very fair on price.
“Neighbours all asked who did it”
Windows are unreal. Two of the neighbours came over to ask who did them before the van had even left the street. Booking was easy and they text you when they’re on the way.
“10/10”
Got the whole outside done before we hosted Christmas. Mum asked if we’d had the place repainted. Showed up when they said, price was exactly what they quoted.
Yes. We work the garden suburb streets around Broughton Rd regularly, and the terracotta rooflines under Artarmon's old canopy are exactly where panels film up fastest. Rooftop arrays are standard work for us.
Put your address into the instant online quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. Nobody needs to come out and look first, and the price holds unless the roof turns out to be materially different to what you told us.
Under this much canopy, once a year keeps the film in check, and blocks near heavy tree cover often want twice. Pollen and leaf dust settle faster here than on an open roof, and the same moss that stains the tiles creeps onto the panel edges if it is left.
One crew, one visit. Book a single job or hand us the whole exterior.
Inside and out, tracks and screens. The squeegee line you can see from the street.
Render, brick and weatherboard brought back without blasting a thing. Ten years of grey, gone by lunch.
Cleared, flushed and photographed. The before you never wanted to see, and the after you will.
Pressure cleaned back to the day they were poured. Sealing available.
Salt and lichen lifted, the stone left to breathe. Heritage stone, done properly.
Moss, lichen and mould lifted off tiles and Colorbond. Soft washed, never blasted.
Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences washed back. The street side done first.
Tell us the address and what the street sees. The same person who would do the job gets back to you, not a call-centre.
