Exterior House Washing in Toowoomba

Render, painted and face brick, weatherboard, fibro, Colorbond and most cladding. Roofs too — tile, Colorbond and cement. If you're not sure what your walls are, send a photo and we'll tell you.

No. Soft washing uses low pressure — not much more than a garden hose — and lets the treatment do the work. High pressure is what damages paint and render, which is exactly why we don't use it on them.

Most Toowoomba homes every two to three years. Shaded and south-facing walls closer to eighteen months, open sunny blocks longer. We'll tell you when yours actually needs it.

Yes — eaves, soffits, fascias and the outside of your gutters are part of a full house wash. That's usually where the worst of it is, because it never sees direct sun.

No separate travel fee within our service area. Distance is factored into the quote, and because we run scheduled rounds by area, a property on an existing route is priced the same as anywhere else.

Plants near the work are wet down before we start and rinsed again afterwards, and runoff is diluted and directed away from beds and stormwater. That's standard, not an extra.

Yes — moss, lichen and algae on tile, Colorbond and cement roofs, using the same soft wash approach. High pressure on a tile roof breaks the glaze and forces water under the tiles, so we don't do it.

Elevation and moisture. Toowoomba sits at roughly 700 metres on the Great Dividing Range, where nights are cooler, fog rolls in off the escarpment and heavy dew sits on walls well into the morning. Mould, algae and lichen need moisture and time, and a Toowoomba wall gives them both for far more hours a year than a wall down on the coastal plain. South and east-facing walls, and anything shaded by a fence or a jacaranda, go first. More on why this happens here.

A dilute sodium hypochlorite solution with a surfactant, which is the standard professional soft wash chemistry worldwide. It kills the mould and algae rather than removing the visible part and leaving the roots, which is why a soft wash lasts years and a pressure blast lasts months. It is rinsed thoroughly, breaks down quickly, and we pre-wet and post-rinse plants along the wall line. More on soft wash versus pressure wash.

On most Toowoomba homes, two to three years on the sunny walls and 18 months to two years on the shaded southern side. Because the treatment kills growth at the root rather than knocking the top off, regrowth starts from nothing rather than from a surviving colony. Houses under heavy tree cover or backing onto bush are at the shorter end of that range.

Window frames, sills and the outside of the glass get rinsed as part of the wash, which removes the worst of it. If you want genuinely streak-free glass, book window cleaning at the same visit. We use a pure water system for that, and doing both together means the windows are done after the walls rather than dirtied by them.

A single-storey Toowoomba home is usually half a day. A large two-storey or a house with difficult access can run to a full day. You do not need to be home, as long as we have access to an outside tap and the gates are unlocked. You get photos when it is done.

Yes. Second storeys are reached with extension equipment from the ground wherever possible, which keeps ladders off your garden beds and keeps our crew off yours. Where height access is genuinely required, our crew are Working at Heights certified and the job is covered by $20 million public liability.
