House soft wash in Waverton is a job about shade. The Federation brick homes sit above the sandstone rail cuttings on leafy streets that run down to Balls Head, and all that canopy keeps the south walls damp from May to September. Come winter they grow a coat: green on the render, black speckle in the mortar, mould feeding on the moisture the sun never reaches.
We wash render, brick, weatherboard and painted timber with low pressure and the chemistry that kills the growth at the root, rather than blasting it off the face and leaving the spores to come straight back. Soft washed, never blasted. The mortar stays put, the paint stays on, and the south wall comes up its real colour instead of a shade of algae. Every elevation is photographed against the checklist before we leave.

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.

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. The streets running down to Balls Head are regular ground for us, Bay Rd and Larkin St included. Federation brick under heavy tree cover is exactly what this service is built for.

The canopy over these streets keeps that side of the house shaded and damp for months, and mould grows in exactly those conditions. We kill it at the root rather than blast it, and most owners here book a wash once a year to stay ahead of the next winter.
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.

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.
