Exterior House Washing Wellington
Our exterior house washing in Wellington helps remove mould, salt and grime from your home's outside surfaces. We offer house soft washing and plan the work around the cladding, its condition and access to each elevation.
A house wash starts with the surfaces
Painted weatherboards, coated surfaces and the details around windows need the cleaning approach considered together. Tell us about loose paint, existing leaks or damaged seals before the work is scoped.
| Area to discuss | What to make clear |
|---|---|
| Exterior walls | The cladding, paint condition and which elevations need washing. |
| Eaves, soffits and fascia | Whether these surfaces are part of the requested clean. |
| Gutters and downpipes | Whether you mean washing the outside faces or clearing the inside. |
| Windows and doors | Whether the scope is a rinse during washing or a separate window clean. |
Agree the finish and inclusions before booking. A house wash, a gutter clear and a detailed window clean are different jobs, even when they are arranged together.
Soft washing and difficult access
We work on homes on hills, cliffs and multiple storeys, where reaching every elevation can be the main challenge. We assess the task and the property before choosing how to reach the surfaces.
- Send a wide view of the house, not only a photograph of the stain.
- Point out high walls, sloping ground and narrow side passages.
- Mention decks, conservatories or fragile surfaces beneath the work.
- Tell us about shared access, gates and any areas used by neighbours.
Cleaning method matters as much as access. Our soft wash and pressure wash comparison explains how the surface, finish and condition influence the choice.
Get your home ready for the wash
A little preparation makes it easier to agree access and protect the things around the house. Work through the details with us before the visit.
- Close windows and doors, and point out openings or joinery that are known to leak.
- Bring in washing and move fragile outdoor items away from the work area.
- Tell us about loose paint, damaged cladding, electrical fittings and anything else needing particular care.
- Discuss access to an outdoor water supply and any tank-water arrangements.
- Identify plants, outdoor belongings and neighbouring areas close to the surfaces being cleaned.
- Arrange access and let other occupants know which elevations are involved.
If you are preparing for painting, mention that at the start. Routine appearance cleaning and preparation for a new coating can have different requirements.
An example of a clear house-wash enquiry
A useful enquiry might describe a two-storey home with grime on the shaded wall, a narrow side passage and windows that need particular care. It would state whether eaves and exterior gutter faces should be included, and whether a separate window clean is wanted.
For a home with blocked gutters as well as dirty walls, keep the requests separate in the brief. Our gutter maintenance guide helps you record recurring debris and overflow. If the question is whether your metal roof needs coating work, see repainting suitability before treating it as just another surface to wash.
Your questions
Do you wash high or difficult-access houses?
Yes. Difficult-access homes are part of our residential work. We assess the elevations and the job before selecting an access method.
Does a house wash include gutter clearing?
Agree gutter clearing separately from washing the outside faces. Tell us if you need debris removed from inside the gutters as well as an exterior clean.
Are windows included?
Tell us the finish you want for the glass. The quote should distinguish a rinse during the house wash from a separate window-cleaning scope.
Plan the clean around your home
Send the Wellington address, a view of the elevations and the areas you want washed. Mention the condition of the paint and any access or window concerns.
