If the walls have gone green or the driveway has gone orange in Cawdor, this is why, and this is what fixes it. Bigger blocks, gravel drives and paddock dust. Sheds, tanks and machinery aprons matter as much as the house. $20 million public liability, Working at Heights certified, police-checked crew and a signed SWMS on every site.
Why us here
We work Cawdor regularly, so a quote rarely means a long wait. What matters most is method: concrete, pavers and brickwork take pressure cleaning; render, paint, weatherboard, Colorbond and roofs take soft washing, where the treatment kills mould and lichen at the root rather than blasting the surface off. Firm price before we start, photos when it is done.
Local conditions here
Red Ferrosol · black clay in low spots · shallow rocky basalt on scarps
Red Ferrosol here: fine iron-rich clay that soaks into bare concrete instead of sitting on top, which is why hosing a stained driveway does nothing. Lifting it needs a surface cleaner; sealing afterwards stops it going back in.
Bigger blocks, gravel drives and paddock dust. Sheds, tanks and machinery aprons matter as much as the house.
Cawdor is an elevated northern rural-residential locality near Highfields — larger blocks and acreage, cooler with frosts.
Through the year
What the walls and concrete are telling you
Green or black film on the south and east walls is mould, not dirt — it needs a treatment, not a blast. Grey-green crust on the roof is lichen, bonded into the tile. Water spilling over a gutter edge is going into the fascia. A driveway that has changed colour is this ground at work. Streaky glass is mineral film. A solar array quietly making less than it used to is usually just soiled.
Most often in Cawdor: shed and Colorbond cleaning, exterior water tank cleaning, exterior house washing. Also roof cleaning, driveway and path cleaning, solar panel cleaning. Book several in one visit — cheaper, and the order matters: roof, gutters, walls, then windows.
