Why Marlborough Sounds homes call us first
Water blasting across the Marlborough Sounds. Holiday homes, remote baches, jetties and boatsheds. Water access or road, we sort it.
The Sounds are the worst possible environment for an exterior. Salt spray, damp bush, no sun on half the property, and owners visiting once every couple of months. Mould, lichen, and salt build up hard. We travel out with the gear and knock the whole property back in one trip so you're not paying for repeat visits.
One crew handles the whole exterior: houses, roofs, driveways, decks, gutters, fences, commercial buildings. One bill, one booking, no chasing three different tradesmen around Marlborough Sounds.

Marlborough Sounds water blasting: straight answers
How much does water blasting in Marlborough Sounds cost?+
You get a fixed price in writing before we start, not a vague "competitive rate" that turns into a surprise on invoice day. Most full house washes in Marlborough Sounds land between a few hundred and around a thousand dollars, depending on size, height and how much build-up there is. Ask us and you get it in writing.
Do you use soft wash or high pressure on Marlborough Sounds homes?+
Soft wash for painted surfaces, roofs and anything fragile. High pressure for concrete, driveways and hard surfaces. Using the wrong one strips paint, wrecks roof coatings and forces water under your cladding. We pick the method that suits the surface, every time, not whatever's fastest for us.
How long until the mould comes back?+
On a straight wash, three to nine months in Marlborough Sounds depending on shade and rainfall. Add a roof biocide treatment and you're looking at twelve months or more before it shows again. We tell you this upfront so you can plan the next clean instead of getting caught out.
Do you service all of Marlborough Sounds?+
Yes, from the in-town streets to the lifestyle blocks on the edges. If a truck can get near it, we can clean it. No call-out fee anywhere inside the Marlborough Sounds service area, and no getting bumped down the list because your job's "too small".
