Fence and gate cleaning in Double Bay is mostly an argument with render. The villas and boutique blocks tucked behind the village front the street in pale render and low rendered walls, and pale render shows everything. Every splash mark, every tide line of grime, every drip off the gate reads from the footpath.
The courtyard walls are the other half of the job. Shade sits on them for most of the day, mould takes hold, and the harbour keeps the salt topped up, so it all returns faster here than a block inland. We soft wash the lot and never blast it, because a pressure washer strips the render's finish along with the grime. Render comes up even. Timber shows its grain again. Colorbond and gates lose the film. Street side first, since that's the side the village sees.
Put your address into the instant quote. A firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds, and it holds unless your fence line is materially different to what you told us.
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.

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 streets behind the village most weeks, William St and Bay St included. Rendered frontages, courtyard walls and gates are all part of the same job.
Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. No one needs to come out and look first, and the price holds unless the fence line is materially different to what you told us.
Pale render shows every mark, and behind the village the courtyard walls sit in shade with the harbour's salt keeping the mould fed. We soft wash it back to an even colour, and most owners book an annual return before it re-establishes.
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.
