The work

House washing on the Kapiti Coast.

Mould grows on the shady side of a house. A wash takes it off, and a treatment can slow it coming back.

The Kapiti Coast is north of Porirua, in the Wellington region. Say where the house is, and what you want washed.

The job

  1. Wet the plants and cover what needs it.

  2. Put on the cleaning mix and let it work.

  3. Rinse the walls, windows and spouting.

  4. Water blast hard surfaces like paths and driveways.

Questions

Good questions.

What goes in the form for a job on the Kapiti Coast?

Tell us the job type, your suburb and a few lines about the house. Say how many rooms, what needs cleaning, and when.

Should I wash the house before painting?

Yes. Paint holds only as well as the surface under it. A wash is the first step of most exterior paint jobs.

What is the difference between house washing and water blasting?

A house wash uses low pressure and a cleaning mix on walls. Water blasting uses high pressure on hard surfaces like concrete.
