Building washing and planned maintenance.
Washes, checks and small repairs on a set calendar, all done from the rope.
What we wash and treat.
Five services on one programme, booked together and carried out by one crew on one visit.
Upkeep costs less than repair.
Almost every repair we price could have been smaller. Sealant fails slowly and gives years of warning. A blocked drain soaks a wall for two winters.
A programme catches that while it is still a small job. It sits on a budget line you set a year out, not a special levy after a leak.
Under the Unit Titles Act 2010, every body corporate must keep a long-term maintenance plan for at least 10 years. Large unit title developments with 10 or more principal units must plan for at least 30 years. Our condition report can feed that plan. Read the official maintenance plan guidance.
Booked work, or a surprise bill.
Most buildings get reactive upkeep. Something fails, a resident rings, and the bill is a shock. A programme is the same work, done earlier.
| Aspect | Reactive only | On a programme |
|---|---|---|
| Faults found | When a resident complains | At the booked visit |
| Access | Priced as a one-off | Booked and priced already |
| Cost | A surprise, or a levy | A known annual figure |
| Repair size | Bigger, it has spread | Smaller, caught early |
| Records | Whatever was left behind | A running photo register |
| Roof anchors | Chased when a crew refuses | Re-certified in the cycle |
| The contractor | Starts from nothing | Knows your building |
| Condition check | Priced on its own | Free with every wash |
Nobody skips upkeep. The only choice is whether it is booked or a shock.
Every wash includes a free condition check.
Our crew spends the whole job an arm's length from your walls. So they look, photograph and report what they see, at no extra cost.
A visual check of the walls we access, recorded with photographs.
A photo register of what was found, where it is, and whether it needs fixing now, at the next visit, or just watching.
A structural or engineering report. If something needs an engineer, we tell you.
What a programme covers.
Ten items on a calendar. If yours is not here, ring us.
How a wash runs.
Anchors first, then water.
-
01
Rig and check
Anchors checked, ropes rigged, ground area signed off before any water goes on.
-
02
Pure-water wash
Deionised water, soft brush on a pole or a hose to the rope. No detergent.
-
03
Rinse and record
Final rinse, edges by hand. Anything we find goes in the register.
Facade and window washing.
We wash with deionised water, filtered so glass dries without marks. Detergent is used only where the dirt needs it.
Quick questions.
What property managers ask before a wash. More on the full FAQ page.
How often should our building be washed?
It depends on exposure, not a set interval. Coastal and industrial sites need it more often. We suggest a cycle after the first visit.
Do you use chemicals?
Usually not. Deionised water lifts most dirt. Where a cleaner is needed, we pick one the paint warranty allows.
What if you find a fault during a wash?
It goes in the photo register with a location, and you are told. Nothing is repaired without your say-so.
What about nesting birds?
We stop and tell you. Native birds and their nests are protected under the Wildlife Act 1953, so we leave an active nest alone and finish that wall later.
