Founding Streets open in Bellevue Hill 2023
Grand rendered walls sit on the hill between two waters, and the air off both leaves its mark. House soft wash in Bellevue Hill takes the green off the render without touching the finish.

The interwar homes up here hide behind high hedges, and the hedge is half the problem. Shaded render stays damp, and damp render turns green. A house soft wash in Bellevue Hill treats that at the source: low pressure, the right chemistry, mould and growth killed at the root rather than blasted off the wall.
Being on the hill between the harbour and the ocean means salt air from two directions. It settles on painted timber and weatherboard and works into the render texture. Pressure would strip the paint and open the surface up for next season. We soft wash instead, so the coating stays intact and the growth has nowhere left to hold.
Every wall gets photographed against the checklist before we leave, so you can see the difference where the hedge line used to sit. Put your address into the instant quote and you get a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds.
Every surface has its own finish spec. We work the house top to bottom and shoot the condition report against this list before we call it done.
Softened and rinsed back to a flat, even colour. No streaks, no chalky residue, no pressure marks scored into the coat.
Mould and grime drawn out of the joints and the face without blasting the mortar. Brick back to its real colour, not a wet-looking fake clean.
Each board washed with the grain and the laps cleared. Paint left intact, no lifted edges, no water forced behind the timber.
Cobwebs, dirt lines and the shaded-side mould cleared. The underside looks as clean as the wall it meets.
Fronts washed back to a clean line so the roofline reads sharp from the street. Tiger stripes gone.
Exterior glass and sills rinsed clear of the wash so no film is left behind. Frames wiped down where the soft wash reaches.
Dirt and mould shadowing cleared so the fittings sit quiet against a clean wall, not standing out grey.
Splash and runoff rinsed off paths and plants. Gardens flushed with water, no chemical left sitting at the base of the wall.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Bellevue Hill, 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 whole hill between the two waters, from Victoria Rd across to Ginahgulla Rd and Bellevue Rd. Render, brick, weatherboard and painted timber all get the low-pressure treatment.
Put your address into the instant quote and you get a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds. The price holds unless the place is materially different when we arrive.
Hedge-line shade keeps the wall damp, and damp is what mould feeds on. We kill the growth at the root instead of blasting the surface, so it comes back slower. On heavily shaded walls up here, once a year usually keeps it in hand.
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.
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.
A film of grime is a tax on every panel. We take it off, quarterly, and your yield thanks you.
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.
