House Washing in Remuera: Done Right for Heritage Homes
If you live on or around Remuera Road, Victoria Avenue, or Upland Road, you already know the deal: those gorgeous old trees that make Remuera one of Auckland’s best-looking suburbs also dump shade and moisture onto your roof all year round. Moss and lichen don’t take long to move in, and once they’re established they’re doing real damage underneath.
We’ve worked on plenty of Remuera villas and bungalows. The one thing we’ve learned: high-pressure washing and heritage weatherboards don’t mix. Blast an old kauri board at high pressure and you’ll force water behind it, swell the timber, and lift the paint. We use a low-pressure soft-wash system with biodegradable solution that gets the green slime off without wrecking what’s underneath. Your home looks sharp again without the repair bill.
Roof Treatment: Before the Moss Costs You More
A lot of Remuera roofs we see haven’t had any treatment in years. The moss looks cosmetic but it’s not: it holds moisture against your tiles or iron and shortens the roof life significantly. Our treatment kills it at the root, not just the surface, so it stays gone for two to three years instead of coming back after the next rain. We recommend getting it done before your next insurance renewal too: some insurers are starting to ask about roof maintenance.
Heritage Home Pest Control
Older Remuera villas have nooks and crannies that modern homes simply don’t: high eaves, old subfloor gaps, original timber foundations. Spiders love the eaves, and cockroaches find their way into old foundations and kitchen joinery surprisingly easily. Our pest control service is specifically calibrated for these kinds of homes: targeted treatment that deals with the problem without making your house smell like a chemical plant.
