Now booking on Glenmore Rd · Windsor St · Underwood St

Exterior cleaning in Paddington means terraces, and terraces mean paint. Rows of them run off the Five Ways in every heritage colour, with iron lace across the fronts and painted render around the back. Traffic film settles on the facade and dulls whatever shade you chose. It creeps in slowly, and most owners don't clock it until the house wash goes on and the colour comes back.

Then there's the back lane: Windsor St, the runs off Glenmore Rd, and the tight bits behind Underwood St. Those south-facing walls barely see the sun, so they run green all winter and stay that way. The green is mould rather than dirt, and a pressure gun just drives it deeper into old render, so we soft-wash it off at the right strength, iron lace and all, and rinse the lane wall down without stripping the paint.

Nothing here gets blasted. We photograph the finish against the Schmick checklist so you can see the before and after for yourself. Book the terrace in and we will get the current colour back on show.

Everything the outside of a Paddington home needs.

One crew, one Standard. Book a single job or hand us the whole exterior.

What Sydney homeowners say about Schmick

5 star rating

“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.

Paddington exterior cleaning, answered.

Do you service Paddington?

Yes, right across Paddington. Off the Five Ways, up Glenmore Rd, along Windsor St and Underwood St and every terrace row between them.

What does exterior cleaning cost in a Paddington terrace?

The quote builder on this page gives you a real number in about a minute. Terraces vary a lot once you factor in the iron lace, the two-storey fronts and back-lane access. The number holds unless the place is bigger or greener than described.

The paint on my facade looks flat and grey. Can you fix it without a repaint?

Usually, yes. Most Paddington facades aren't faded, they're filmed over with traffic grime. A soft wash lifts it and the colour comes back. We never blast old render or heritage paint, so the finish stays put.

Can you do the whole outside, front and back lane in one go?

That's the idea. Windows, the painted facade, the iron lace, gutters and the green off the back-lane render, all in one visit and all photographed against the checklist. The Plan keeps it that way through the year with scheduled visits.

Get Paddington sorted.

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.
