Exterior cleaning in Lavender Bay for the weatherboard cottages on the hill: soft wash, clean glass and safe, moss-free steps.

Lavender Bay is mostly weatherboard, and painted timber does it tough in the harbour air. The paint fades and mildew grows in the grain on the cottages and terraces stacked above Wendy's Secret Garden. Our house soft wash lifts the green off without stripping a single coat of paint.
The stairs matter here too. Nearly every Lavender Bay block has a shaded run of them, and between the shade and the damp they build up a slick of green that is genuinely easy to slip on. We pressure clean the paths and steps back to grip, working gently on the old timber and stone and harder where the concrete can take it.
Painted weatherboard always gets the soft wash treatment rather than a blasting, and the whole job is photographed against a checklist so you can see the before and after without climbing a ladder. That is the Schmick Standard. Build your instant quote and we will tell you what the house actually needs.
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 Lavender Bay, 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.
We do. The whole hill above Wendy's Secret Garden, down through the Lavender St cottages and terraces, is on our regular run.
The quote builder on this page gives you a real number in about a minute. Every cottage here is a different size with different amounts of shaded timber. The number holds unless the place is bigger or greener than described.
That is the classic Lavender Bay problem, and yes. A soft wash treats the mildew and lifts the green out of the grain without stripping the paint. No pressure gun near your timber.
Yes. Soft wash the weatherboard, clean the glass, clear the gutters, scrub the slippery green off the stairs and paths. Our Plan brings a crew back on a schedule, so the mildew and moss are dealt with before they take hold again.
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.
