Founding Streets open in Manly 2095
Solar panel cleaning for Manly's homes between the two beaches, where ocean salt from the front and harbour salt from the back leave no clean side and your yield takes the hit.

Solar panel cleaning in Manly is a job with no easy angle. The Federation homes, deco flats and beach houses wedged between the harbour and the ocean get salt from the front beach and salt from the back at the same time. There is no clean side. That fine spray dries to a film, the film holds dust, and every panel on the roof works a little harder for a little less.
We rinse and lift it with deionised water and soft brushes. No pressure near the seals, nothing that scours the glass, nothing that voids a panel warranty. Salt comes off, the haze goes, and the yield you paid for comes back rather than sitting under a grey skin. Each panel is photographed against the checklist so you can see the glass is actually clear.
Homes up the hill off Bower St and Addison Rd take the ocean side hardest, but every Manly roof carries some of both. Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. It holds unless the roof is materially different to what you told us.
Every panel checked against the list before we call it done. Here is the finish it is done to.
Soft brush and pure water only. No film, no streaking, glass left clear to the edge.
Lifted off, not smeared. Baked-on spots worked until the glass is clean, never scraped.
Rinsed with de-ionised water so it dries spot-free. No mineral marks left behind.
Grime cleared from the aluminium seams where dust packs in and holds moisture.
Leaf litter and debris cleared from the gaps so water and air move as they should.
Checked for shading build-up. Corners cleaned so no cell sits in the shade of its own dirt.
None. No detergents, no acids. Nothing that voids a panel warranty or films the glass.
Every array photographed against the checklist at close. Cracks or faults flagged, not touched.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Manly, 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. Homes between the two beaches are regular work for us, Bower St and Addison Rd included. Panels taking salt from the ocean and the harbour at once are exactly what this service is 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 the roof turns out to be materially different to what you told us.
Double exposure. Salt drifts off the front beach and off the harbour behind, so there is no side that stays clean. That film builds quicker here than most of Sydney, and twice a year keeps your yield honest.
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.
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.
