House Washing in Mount Eden: Respect for Character Homes
Mount Eden is one of central Auckland’s most loved suburbs: tree-lined streets, a mix of beautifully maintained villas and bungalows, and a real sense of community around Mount Eden Village. The housing here is predominantly pre-1960s character stock, and those older homes need a much more careful approach to exterior cleaning than a modern plaster box.
We use soft-wash on every Mount Eden job. The original timber weatherboards, decorative fretwork, and layered paint on these homes can’t handle high-pressure water. Blast them and you’ll lift paint, split timber, and push moisture into the wall framing. Our low-pressure biodegradable wash removes the green staining, black mould, and algae that builds up on south-facing walls without touching the surface integrity. Your villa looks like it’s had a proper clean, not a strip.
Roof Treatment on the Slopes of Maungawhau
Homes on the slopes around Mount Eden Domain and near Maungawhau stay damper longer due to the shelter the volcanic cone provides. It’s a beautiful spot to live, but it does mean moss and lichen get going on roofs faster than in more exposed parts of Auckland. Our roof treatment kills the root system rather than just washing the surface, and it stays working for two to three years.
Pest Control for Villas
Older villas and bungalows are more vulnerable to pests than newer homes: high eaves with timber framing attract spiders, original subfloors give cockroaches easy access, and gaps in old foundations let rodents in. Our pest control service targets these specific entry points. We also provide carpet cleaning for the beautiful original timber-floored homes that have retained their carpet in the main living areas.
We cover Mount Eden and surrounding suburbs: Epsom, Kingsland, Sandringham, Three Kings, and Mt Roskill.
