Services & prices

Everything we wash, and what it costs.

These are the prices we actually charge, not a starting point we talk you up from. Text a photo and we'll confirm before we book you in.

Driveways & walkways

from $180

Concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers and stamped

Most driveways in this part of the world go green rather than dirty. Moss and algae take hold in the shade and along the control joints, and once they are established a garden hose will not move them. We pre-treat, run a flat surface cleaner over the whole pad so there are no wand stripes, then rinse the edges and the gutter line.

What's included

  • Pre-treatment on moss and algae
  • Flat-surface clean, no wand stripes
  • Edges, kerbs and the gutter line rinsed
  • Joint sand topped up on pavers

What this won't fix

  • Old oil that has soaked in
  • Rust from a planter or a car
  • Paint or sealer overspray

House siding

from $340

Vinyl, cedar, Hardie and stucco — soft wash only

Siding is soft-washed, never pressure-washed. High pressure forces water up behind the boards and into the wall, and on cedar it raises the grain permanently. We use a low-pressure application, let it dwell, and rinse. It takes longer and it is the only way to do it without leaving damage you will find in the winter.

What's included

  • Low pressure, no water driven behind the boards
  • Soffits and fascia included
  • Windows rinsed down afterwards
  • Plants wetted before and after

What this won't fix

  • Painted surfaces that are already failing
  • Anything above two storeys
  • Asbestos-containing siding on older homes

Decks & patios

from $220

Pressure-treated, cedar, composite and stone

Wood gets the lowest pressure that will actually lift the grey, worked along the grain. Composite gets a wash and nothing more aggressive, because the manufacturers will void a warranty over it. If you want the deck sealed afterwards we will do it, but not on the same day — it has to dry first, and that takes 48 hours.

What's included

  • Washed along the grain, not across it
  • Railings and spindles by hand
  • Sealing available once it has dried
  • Furniture moved and put back

What this won't fix

  • Boards that are already rotten
  • Stripping old solid stain
  • Sealing on the same day as the wash

Roofs & gutters

from $400

Asphalt shingle and concrete tile

Roofs are treated, not blasted. Pressure strips the granules off asphalt shingles and takes years off the roof, which is why we apply a moss treatment and let the weather carry it off over the following weeks. Gutters are cleared out by hand, flushed, and the downpipes are checked to the ground.

What's included

  • Moss treatment, no pressure on shingles
  • Gutters cleared by hand and flushed
  • Downpipes checked through to the ground
  • Debris bagged and taken away

What this won't fix

  • Walking a roof that is not safe to walk
  • Cedar shake roofs
  • Gutter guards installed

Common questions

Do you need to be home?
No. We need access to an outside tap and somewhere to park. Most driveways are done and paid for without the owner ever being there.
How long does a driveway take?
A standard two-car driveway is about two hours including the pre-treatment dwell time. Siding on a single-storey house is half a day.
Will it come back?
Moss and algae will return — this is the coast. On a shaded driveway expect two to three years before it needs doing again, and longer on one that gets sun.
Do you use my water?
Yes, from your outside tap. It works out to roughly the same as running a sprinkler for the length of the job.
What if it rains?
Rain is fine, we work through it. We only move a booking for high wind, because soft washing in wind puts product where it shouldn't go.
