Fence cleaning in Clovelly is a salt job before it's a dirt job. The water around the bay stays calm, but the air off it doesn't. It lays a film on everything and feeds the green that creeps up a timber paling or a Colorbond sheet until the fence has grown a soft beard down the shaded side.
The stock here is semis and interwar brick, and the fences match: old hardwood palings, powder-coated steel, the odd rendered return wall. Each one wants a different touch. We soft wash, never blast, so a tired paling comes back to timber instead of getting furred up, and Colorbond gets its flat colour back without the chalky streaks a pressure lance leaves behind.
We start on the street side, because that's the bit Burnie St and the neighbours actually read, then work the returns and the gate. Photographed against the checklist when we're done. Pop your address into the instant quote and you'll have a firm price in about a minute.
The documented finish, surface by surface. Every fence is done to this checklist, and the condition report proves it against the after.
The side the neighbours see is washed back before anything else. Face grime, cobwebs and grey haze off, edge to edge, top rail to soil line.
Mould and algae lifted off the cold, damp side where the sun never reaches. Washed until the surface is clean to the touch, not just lighter.
Painted, rendered and Colorbond get a low-pressure soft wash. Colour comes back with nothing stripped, nothing chalked, no pressure marks in the panel.
Brick and rendered fences get the pressure the material can take and no more. Grime out of the texture, mortar left intact.
Salt film and oxidised haze washed off so the panel reads its actual colour again. Rails and capping done, not just the flat.
The full gate face, both sides, plus hinges, latches and the frame. The part your hand touches every day comes up clean.
Timber fences and gates washed back to bare grain. Re-oiling available on the day if you want the colour fed back in and the boards protected.
Job-close photos against every line of this checklist. Leaning posts, rusted-through panels or rotten palings flagged here and referred to a partner. We don't replace fencing.

“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 semis and brick homes around the bay and the ocean pool, from the Burnie St and Arden St end through the quieter back streets. Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences and gates.
Put your address into the instant quote and you'll get a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds. It holds unless the fence turns out to be materially different from what you described.
Salt air off the calm water keeps the timber and steel damp, and damp is what mould lives on, especially on the shaded street side. A soft wash lifts it, and once a year keeps the green from coming back with a vengeance.
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.
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.
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.
