House & render · Soft-wash safe

House & Render Wash

Render, painted weatherboard and brick all take a beating from Brisbane humidity, and they are exactly the surfaces a high-pressure gun ruins. We soft-wash with low pressure and a named detergent, so the mould and green staining lift off and the paint and render stay where they belong.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Soft-wash of render, painted weatherboard, brick and fibro
  • Eaves, soffits, window frames and entry areas
  • Mould, green and black staining treated, not just rinsed
  • Test patch before the whole wall, every time
  • Plants wet down and protected before and after
Our system: Low-pressure soft wash with a surface-safe detergent and dwell time. Pressure is dialled to the surface, never the other way around.
How we quote it

A Surface and Method Sheet, every time.

Whatever the surface, your quote names the method, the pressure and the reason the same honest way, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 Render and painted walls. Soft wash, low pressure and a named detergent. Never a high-pressure gun that strips paint or gouges render.
  2. 2 Roof, Colorbond and tile. Soft washed from safe access. No walking and blasting that cracks tiles or forces water under the ridge caps.
  3. 3 Timber and decking. A gentle wash with the grain at controlled pressure, so we lift the grime without furring the timber.
  4. 4 Concrete, pavers and driveway. High pressure is safe and right here. Even passes with a surface cleaner, no stripes, oil and rust treated.
  5. 5 Solar panels. Soft wash and a deionised rinse only. No high pressure near the seals, and the panel warranty stays intact.
  6. 6 Test patch first. We prove the method on an out-of-the-way spot before the whole job, so you see it is safe before we commit.
  7. 7 Walk-through at the end. We rinse down, protect your plants, and walk the finished result with you before we pack up.

How it runs

What happens, step by step.

1

Walkthrough and surface check

We identify every surface and its condition, and tell you which gets soft-washed and which gets high pressure.

2

Method and written scope

You get a Surface and Method Sheet: surface, method, pressure, detergent and why. With an indicative price band, not a guess.

3

Booking and test patch

On the day we prove the method on an inconspicuous patch before we commit to the whole surface.

4

Soft wash and treat

Low pressure and the right detergent on render, roofs, painted timber and panels. Dwell time does the work, not force.

5

High pressure where it is safe

Concrete, pavers and driveways get even passes with the surface cleaner, no stripes and no etching.

6

Rinse and walk-through

We rinse down, protect your plants, and walk the finished result with you before we pack up.

Insured, covered, guaranteed

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, working-at-heights ticketed, and a 12-month no-regrowth guarantee, all in writing, all on request.

Cleaning needs no trade licence in Queensland, so insurance is the credential that protects you. Nathan walks through exactly what is covered, the public liability cover that protects your home, and the guarantee that names its own exclusions instead of hiding them.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.

Questions, answered

House & Render Wash: common questions.

Is high pressure safe on rendered or painted walls? +
No, and that is the whole point of how we work. High pressure strips paint, gouges render and can force water in behind the cladding. Render and painted walls get a low-pressure soft wash with the right detergent, which lifts the growth without touching the surface underneath.
Will soft washing remove the mould and the green and black staining? +
Yes. Soft washing uses chemistry and dwell time rather than force, so it kills and lifts the mould, lichen and black streaking at the source. That is why it looks clean and stays clean longer than a quick blast that just knocks the surface off the top.
Do you clean under eaves, gutters and window frames too? +
Yes. The shaded, sheltered spots under eaves and around frames are where growth hides and comes back from, so we include them. Gutter and downpipe cleaning is an easy add-on if you want the whole lot done in one visit.
How long before the mould comes back after a soft wash? +
On a treated soft-wash surface we guarantee no regrowth for 12 months, and most homes go well beyond that. Shaded south and east walls under heavy tree cover regrow faster, which is exactly what the guarantee is there for.
