Timber, Colorbond, rendered and brick. The green comes off the shaded side, the grime comes off the face, and the street side that every neighbour sees gets done first.
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 PlanThe Schmick Guarantee. If any part of a job doesn’t meet the Schmick Standard, tell us and we come back and put it right. No charge, no argument.
A grey fence drags down the whole front of a house, and because it fades slowly, most owners stop noticing until the green on the shaded side and the salt haze across the panels are impossible to miss.
We clean fences across the North Shore and Eastern Suburbs, matching the method to the material: painted, rendered and Colorbond surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash so nothing is stripped or dented, while brick and masonry take the firmer wash they are built for.
Most boundaries are done in a morning, gates and hardware included, with before and after photos in your condition report.
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.
You tell us the material and the metres. Timber, Colorbond, rendered or brick, front boundary, side returns and gates. Same operator every visit, so nobody relearns your property.
Turns up in the window with the soft wash gear and the pressure dialled for your surface. Street side gets read first, because that's the side that counts.
Every panel washed to the checklist. Timber re-oiled if you asked. Condition report shot against the after, and anything for a fencer flagged in it.
“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.
The price follows the total metres of fence and gates, the material, and how much green is on the shaded side. If neighbours on the same street book together, the Street Rate brings everyone's price down.
Once a year suits most fences, and twice a year on the harbour side where salt sits on the panels. The shaded side goes green faster than the street face, so it usually tells you first.
Not the way we do it. Painted, rendered and Colorbond fences get a low-pressure soft wash so nothing is stripped, chalked or dented, and only masonry gets genuine pressure.
Yes. Timber fences and gates get washed back to clean grain across the North Shore. We can re-oil on the same visit if you want the colour fed back in and the boards protected. Just ask when you book.
Yes. We cover the Eastern Suburbs, from Vaucluse and Double Bay to Bronte and Darling Point. Same operator returns to the same property, so the finish stays consistent every visit.
We do maintenance, not replacement. Leaning posts, rusted-through panels or rotten palings get flagged in the condition report and referred to a fencing partner. We wash what can be washed and tell you straight about the rest.
Same crew, same standard, across every corner we serve. Find your suburb:
