Exterior cleaning for St Ives homes, from brick and render walls to tile roofs and long front paths.
Every surface on your St Ives property is assessed before any work is planned. The house, roof, driveway and fences are then cleaned in a single visit.
Low pressure soft washing for render, paint, brick and timber. Shaded walls under the St Ives canopy are where green and black growth shows first, so we treat it at the root and rinse it clear.
Concrete and terracotta tile roofs cleaned of moss and lichen by a team certified to work safely at heights in St Ives. Blue gum leaf litter in the tile overlaps is cleared as part of the job.
Concrete, pavers and stone cleaned with pressure set to the surface. Long shaded driveways stay damp and slippery once algae sets in, so we clean the full length to one standard.
Timber, Colorbond, masonry and rendered fences cleaned with the method that suits the material. Paling fences along bush edges grey quickly and are restored with a gentle wash.
House washing in St Ives starts with knowing what the homes here are built from. Much of the suburb went up in the 1960s and 1970s, so brick veneer and double brick homes with concrete or terracotta tile roofs make up a large share of the streets. Over the last twenty years many of those blocks have been rebuilt as two-storey rendered homes, with some timber and fibre cement cladding in the mix.
Each of these ages in its own way. Brick holds up for decades, while mortar joints, painted eaves and gutters wear faster on the south and west faces. Painted render shows growth first in shaded corners and under the eaves. Older tile roofs hold moss in the overlaps and lose their bedding well before they leak. We assess each surface on its own terms, then write one scope that treats the cause at the root.
Under that canopy, many walls and driveways get only a few hours of direct sun. Ku-ring-gai is also one of the wetter parts of Sydney. Morning mist lingers on the ridge. South and east-facing walls stay damp the longest, which is where mould, algae and lichen take hold first. Front walls and fences along Mona Vale Road also pick up a fine road film. We plan each clean around aspect, so the shaded sides get the time they need.
Yes. Our team is certified to work safely at heights, which covers two-storey walls and pitched tile and metal roofs. Where a roof calls for scaffold, we arrange it and include it in the scope.
