House Washing

Salt air, pollen, mould and algae dull your home and, left long enough, break down paint and render. Our soft-wash house washing brings the colour back — safely, without blasting water into wall cavities or stripping the finish.

Overview

A house wash is the fastest, cheapest way to lift your home's appearance — and it protects your biggest asset. Mould, lichen and algae hold moisture against render and paint; over the years that leads to staining, flaking and premature repainting.

We use the soft wash method: low-pressure water combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills the growth at the root, so the result lasts far longer than a quick pressure blast. It's safe for render, painted surfaces, fibre-cement cladding, Colorbond and timber.

What's included

  • Full exterior wash of walls — render, cladding, brick and painted surfaces
  • Eaves, soffits, fascia and the outside face of gutters
  • Window frames, sills and tracks (glass on request)
  • Entry doors, columns, porches and patio ceilings
  • Downpipes, meter boxes and exterior fixtures
  • Cobweb, wasp and mud-nest removal
  • Gentle rinse of paths and garden beds around the work area

How we do it

Our process

1

Walk-through & quote

We check surfaces, problem areas and access, then give you a fixed, no-obligation price.

2

Prep & protect

Move or cover what needs it, close windows, and pre-wet gardens and lawn near the work.

3

Treat

Apply a biodegradable solution that kills mould, algae and lichen — not just the surface layer.

4

Soft wash

Low-pressure rinse from the top down, working in sections so nothing is missed.

5

Detail & check

Hand-detail stubborn spots and do a final walk-through with you before we pack up.

Good to know

Why soft wash, not pressure

High pressure can etch render, strip paint and force water behind cladding and into window seals. Soft washing removes the growth chemically and rinses gently — it's safer and the finish stays clean 30–50% longer.

Genuine hard surfaces like concrete driveways and some brickwork can take more pressure, and we adjust the approach for each surface on the day.

Pricing. Most single-storey homes are $300–$550. Larger or double-storey homes are $550–$800+. Every quote is fixed and free — bundling the roof or driveway usually works out cheaper.

FAQ

Common questions

How often should I wash my house?

Most Sunshine Coast homes benefit every 12–24 months. Homes that are shaded, near bushland or close to the coast usually need it sooner.

Will it damage my plants?

No. We pre-wet gardens and lawn, and use biodegradable products at safe dilutions. If you have anything delicate, tell us and we'll take extra care.

Can you do the roof at the same time?

Yes — and combining a roof wash with a house wash almost always works out cheaper than booking them separately.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as we have access and can reach a tap and power. We'll send before/after photos and the invoice afterwards.
