House Washing in Westgate: Keeping Up With a Fast-Growing Suburb
Westgate has gone from a motorway interchange to one of Auckland’s fastest-growing residential areas in the space of a decade. The housing out here is almost all post-2010: modern plaster homes, Hardie board townhouses, and tightly packed new-build developments off Northside Drive and the surrounding streets.
New builds in Westgate get dirty quicker than you’d expect. The ongoing construction nearby puts iron particles and dust in the air, and the northwest Auckland climate is damp enough that algae and green staining appear on north-facing walls within a couple of years of a home being finished. We use soft-wash on all modern cladding: the right pressure and solution for plaster, fibre cement, and metal profiles without risking the waterproofing.
What We Handle in Westgate
Most Westgate jobs we do are full exterior washes on homes that are three to eight years old and due for their first proper clean. We also get called in for roof treatment on plaster homes where moss has started appearing at the joins, and carpet cleaning for the rental market which is strong in this area. Tight townhouse sections are no problem for our team: we work compact and efficient.
Pest Control in Westgate
New builds aren’t immune to pests: in fact, construction activity stirs up rodents and brings cockroaches into homes they’d otherwise not find. Our pest control service is targeted and family-safe, which matters in a suburb with a lot of young families.
We cover Westgate and the surrounding area: Massey, Hobsonville, Royal Heights, and Herald Park.
