Washing Methods: Soft Wash vs High-Pressure Cleaning
Every building is different — and so are its cleaning needs. Our team uses the right method for each surface.
Soft Wash
A low-pressure system combined with eco-friendly chemical cleaning — perfect for:
-
Painted plaster
-
Cedar or timber cladding
-
Colorsteel or metal
-
Cladding systems with sealed joins or coatings
Soft washing lifts grime, algae, and mildew without damaging surfaces or forcing water into vulnerable areas.
High-Pressure Washing
Used for concrete, brickwork, driveways, and pathways — where durability allows for higher pressure.
Our technicians assess each surface and adjust cleaning methods accordingly for safety and effectiveness.
Equipment, Techniques & Eco-Friendly Solutions
We use commercial-grade cleaning equipment, including soft wash systems, petrol-powered pressure washers, telescopic poles, rotary surface cleaners, downpipe flush tools, and gutter vacuums to ensure thorough and efficient results across all surfaces. All cleaning agents we apply are biodegradable and compliant with New Zealand standards, making them safe for surrounding plants, stormwater systems, and public areas. These solutions are only used under controlled conditions with appropriate protective measures in place to minimise any risk. Throughout the cleaning process, we also take deliberate steps to protect landscaping, drains, and entryways, ensuring your property remains clean, safe, and undamaged from start to finish.
Roof Washing for Commercial Buildings
Roofs are often overlooked — yet they bear the brunt of Auckland’s harsh weather.
We provide:
-
Soft roof washing for Colorsteel or membrane roofing
-
Moss, mould, and lichen treatment
-
Salt and debris removal for coastal buildings
-
Visual inspections to flag visible damage or risks
Recommended frequency: Every 1–2 years, depending on location and exposure (e.g., high rainfall, tree cover, coastal environments).
Gutter Cleaning & Downpipe Maintenance
Blocked gutters and downpipes are a common cause of water ingress in commercial buildings.
Our gutter service includes:
-
Removal of leaves, moss, and debris
-
Downpipe flushing
-
Perimeter rinse-down
-
Visual check for pooling or structural concerns
We recommend biannual gutter cleaning — especially in autumn and spring — to prevent roof leaks, pest nesting, and water damage.
Moss, Mould & Lichen Treatment
We treat surfaces with biodegradable solutions to kill and remove:
-
Mould spores
-
Algae growth
-
Black mildew
-
Lichen on cladding, roofing, and hard surfaces
Pre-treatment inspections help identify high-risk zones, and post-treatment follow-ups can be scheduled to monitor long-term effectiveness.
Before-and-after images are available on request.
Access Solutions: High-Rise & Height Work
We’re experienced in multi-level and difficult-access buildings.
-
EWP (elevated work platforms) used where needed
-
Trained in working-at-height best practice
-
Site-controlled abseiling for high-rise façade access
-
Use of water-fed pole systems for up to 3-storey buildings

What Our Clients Say
FAQs: Commercial Building Wash Auckland
How often should a commercial building be washed?
Most buildings benefit from annual washing. Coastal, shaded, or high-traffic buildings may need 6-monthly service.
Will washing damage cladding or sealants?
No. We tailor methods to the surface — soft wash for delicate exteriors and lower-pressure options where required.
Are the cleaning products safe for landscaping?
Yes. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents and pre-wet nearby vegetation to minimise exposure.
Does weather affect the schedule?
Yes — we avoid washing during heavy rain or strong wind. We’ll work with you to reschedule if conditions change.
