Our Professional Cleaning Services

Exterior House Washing

Auckland's humid climate and salt-laden air create the perfect conditions for mould, moss, and lichen growth on your home's exterior. Our house washing service uses:

  • Soft washing for painted surfaces, weatherboards, and cladding — eco-friendly cleaning solutions kill spores at the root without damaging paint
  • Low-pressure rinsing to remove organic growth, salt residue, and pollution build-up
  • Moss and mould treatment — we treat the root cause, not just the visible growth
  • Auckland homes should be washed annually; coastal properties may need biannual cleaning

Cost: $250–$700+ depending on house size, stories, and level of build-up

Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters are one of the leading causes of water damage in Auckland homes. Our gutter cleaning service includes:

  • Hand removal of leaves, twigs, and debris
  • Downpipe flushing and blockage clearing
  • Gutter inspection for rust, sagging, and loose fixings
  • Pre-winter and post-storm gutter clears
  • High-reach vacuum system for two-storey homes (up to 12 metres)

Cost: $200–$500 for an average Auckland home (gutter cleaning competitors typically charge $200–$700+ in Auckland)

Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal

Auckland's high rainfall and humidity cause rapid moss and lichen growth on roofs. Left untreated, this can damage roofing materials and shorten lifespan. Our roof cleaning includes:

  • Soft application of moss and lichen treatment (chemical application, not pressure washing — pressure washing damages roofs)
  • Removal of dead moss and organic matter
  • Gutter clearing of debris washed from roof
  • Treatment that prevents regrowth for 2–3 years

Cost: $400–$1,200+ depending on roof size, pitch, and moss coverage

Pressure Washing

High-pressure washing for hard surfaces that need aggressive cleaning:

  • Driveways and paths — removes oil stains, moss, and ingrained dirt
  • Decks and timber surfaces — prepares for re-oiling or staining
  • Retaining walls and concrete surfaces
  • Commercial surfaces — carparks, warehouse floors, building exteriors

Cost: From $150 for small areas; $400–$800+ for standard driveways

Commercial Building Washing

Exterior cleaning for commercial properties, body corporate buildings, and strata complexes:

  • Building facade washing — soft wash for painted surfaces, pressure wash for concrete and brick
  • Carpark and entrance cleaning
  • Window frame and sill cleaning
  • Regular maintenance contracts available for commercial properties

Cost: Quoted per project — contact us for a free commercial cleaning assessment

Post-Construction Cleaning

As a construction company, we understand the mess that building work creates. Our post-construction cleaning service includes:

  • Removal of construction dust and debris
  • Window and glass cleaning (including paint and silicone removal)
  • Exterior wash-down of new builds and renovations
  • Driveway and path cleaning after construction work
  • Final sparkle clean for handover

Cost: Quoted per project — integrated with our construction services or as a standalone service


Why Auckland Properties Need Professional Cleaning

Climate Factors

  • High humidity (annual average 75%+) — accelerates mould, moss, and lichen growth
  • High rainfall (1,200–1,800mm annually) — gutters fill faster, surfaces stay damp longer
  • Coastal salt exposure — corrosive to building exteriors within 5km of the coast
  • UV exposure (latitude 36.8°S) — degrades surface coatings, making them more susceptible to biological growth

Auckland Council and Compliance

  • Blocked gutters can cause water damage that may not be covered by insurance if maintenance has been neglected
  • Commercial buildings must meet BWOF (Building Warrant of Fitness) requirements, which include maintaining building exterior condition
  • Body corporate and strata buildings have legal obligations to maintain common property

Professional Cleaning FAQ

How often should I have my house washed in Auckland? Annually for most Auckland properties. Coastal properties (within 500m of the sea) and properties surrounded by trees may need biannual cleaning. Properties in damp, shaded areas (like Titirangi bush settings) should be washed annually minimum.

Can you clean my gutters if I have a two-storey home? Yes. We use high-reach vacuum systems that can reach gutters up to 12 metres high without ladders — safer and more thorough than traditional ladder-based cleaning.

Is pressure washing safe for my house? Not for all surfaces. Pressure washing can damage painted surfaces, weatherboards, and cladding. We use soft washing for delicate surfaces and pressure washing only for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and treated timber decks.

Do you offer regular cleaning contracts for commercial properties? Yes. We offer scheduled cleaning contracts for commercial buildings, body corporates, and strata complexes. Contracts include regular exterior washing, gutter cleaning, and maintenance inspections.

Will house washing damage my garden? No. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and waterways. We also pre-wet gardens and cover sensitive plants before applying cleaning solutions.
