Schmick does the exterior cleaning for Fairlight, from the harbourside semis to the apartments lined up along the walkway to Manly. Two problems come up on nearly every job here: the north-facing glass and balustrades over the tidal pool haze with harbour salt, and the shaded southern walls stay green.
The salt side needs a proper window clean and a rinse before it etches in, and the green side needs a soft wash at low pressure with the right mix. Blasting waterfront walls drives water where it shouldn't go and strips paint, so no gun gets aimed at render on our jobs.
Every job runs to the Schmick Standard, with soft washing where it belongs and the finish photographed against a checklist before the van moves. Book the whole outside at once and the ladders only need to go up one time.
One crew, one Standard. 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.

Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences washed back. The street side done first.

Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Fairlight, 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.
See the Plan“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 strip along the walkway to Manly, from the tidal pool up through the semis and apartment blocks off Lauderdale Ave. It's a regular run.
The quote builder on this page gives you a real number in about a minute. A harbourside semi and a three-level apartment are different jobs. The number holds unless the place is bigger or greener than described.
Harbour salt. Fairlight's front glass and balustrades sit right over the water, so a fine film builds inside a fortnight. A clean and a proper rinse resets it. The view over the pool comes back.
That's the idea. Window clean the north-facing glass and balustrades, soft wash the green off the shaded south walls, sort the gutters and paths while we're up there. One booking for the whole outside.
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.
