Fence and gate cleaning in Kirribilli means working under the Bridge and off the harbour at the same time. The Victorian terraces here wear iron lace and rendered front fences, and both take a beating: city grime settles on the paint, harbour salt drifts in off the water, and the render greys out at the base where the damp sits.
We soft wash the lot, never blast it. Rendered fences come up their actual colour instead of a dull city film. Iron lace and gates lose the black that traffic leaves on them, and Colorbond along the apartment frontages sheds the salt haze. The shaded lane walls off Carabella St and Kirribilli Ave never fully dry, so growth takes hold there first; that side gets the closest look. Street side comes first either way, because the footpath is what the harbour walkers see.

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.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Kirribilli, 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 streets right under the Bridge most weeks, Carabella St and Kirribilli Ave included. Terrace iron lace, rendered front fences and harbourfront gates are all part of the 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.
City grime lands on the paint and harbour salt drifts in off the water, and the shaded lane walls never dry long enough to shrug either off. We soft wash it back, and most owners near the water book an annual return before it builds up again.
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.
