House soft wash in Longueville has two enemies, and they sit at opposite ends of the block. The grand Federation and interwar homes here run deep to the water at Woodford Bay, so the faces that catch the sun catch the salt with it, and the render dulls and chalks. Turn to the street side, under the canopy, and the story flips to moss and lichen holding fast wherever the shade never lifts.
We wash render, brick, weatherboard and painted timber back at low pressure, with chemistry matched to the growth rather than a lance turned up until something gives. The mould and green go at the root, so the wall stays clean instead of greening again by the next wet month. Salt film comes off the waterfront elevations. Lichen lets go of the shaded ones. Every face is photographed against the checklist before we pack up.
If your place sits down toward Woodford Bay or up the hill off Arabella St, the mix of salt and shade is exactly what this service is built for. Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds.
Every surface has its own finish spec. We work the house top to bottom and shoot the condition report against this list before we call it done.
Softened and rinsed back to a flat, even colour. No streaks, no chalky residue, no pressure marks scored into the coat.
Mould and grime drawn out of the joints and the face without blasting the mortar. Brick back to its real colour, not a wet-looking fake clean.
Each board washed with the grain and the laps cleared. Paint left intact, no lifted edges, no water forced behind the timber.
Cobwebs, dirt lines and the shaded-side mould cleared. The underside looks as clean as the wall it meets.
Fronts washed back to a clean line so the roofline reads sharp from the street. Tiger stripes gone.
Exterior glass and sills rinsed clear of the wash so no film is left behind. Frames wiped down where the soft wash reaches.
Dirt and mould shadowing cleared so the fittings sit quiet against a clean wall, not standing out grey.
Splash and runoff rinsed off paths and plants. Gardens flushed with water, no chemical left sitting at the base of the wall.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Longueville, 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. Longueville is regular ground for us, from the waterfront blocks on Woodford Bay to the shaded frontages up around Arabella St. Federation and interwar facades carrying salt and moss are the exact job this service exists for.
Put your address into the instant online quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. Nobody comes out to look first, and the price holds unless your place is materially different from what you told us.
Because the canopy keeps the wall damp and shaded, and damp render grows mould fast. We kill it at the root with low pressure and the right chemistry rather than blasting the surface, which is why it stays clean longer. Most owners near the water book a return every year or two.
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.
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.
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.
