A house soft wash in Clontarf has to respect the way these homes are built. The rebuilt family houses and waterfront moderns wrapping Clontarf Reserve are render, painted timber and walls of glass, and none of it wants a pressure lance. We wash back with low pressure and the right chemistry, so the mould and green growth die at the root instead of getting blasted off the top to grow back by winter.
The problem here is the harbour itself. Salt carries up off Middle Harbour and settles on render, stainless balustrades and window frames, and it tea-stains anything left to fend for itself. On the shaded southern walls that salt film feeds mould fast. We soft wash the lot, rinse the salt load down, and leave the surface clean rather than scoured.
Every job is photographed against the checklist, and the same operator comes back each visit so the finish stays consistent. Put your address into the instant quote and you will have a firm, bookable price in about a minute.
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.

“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 cover the waterfront homes and rebuilt family houses around Clontarf Reserve, including the streets off Monash Cres and Peronne Ave. Exterior render, brick, weatherboard and painted timber, all soft washed rather than blasted.
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 from what we can see, so there are no surprises on the day.
Most homes this close to Middle Harbour want a wash once a year, and the shaded southern walls sometimes sooner. Regular soft washing clears the salt film before mould and green growth get a hold, which keeps the render and paint looking right for longer.
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.

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.
