Essential Wellington Exterior Cleaning Tips

Published on: July 25th, 2024

Chemwash Wellington is a trusted family-owned business with over 34 years of experience in maintaining Wellington properties. Our expertise spans soft washing, roof treatments, pathway treatments and more, tailored to the unique demands of the Wellington climate.

Wellington’s environment presents unique challenges for property maintenance. Its picturesque landscapes and coastal proximity expose buildings to wind-driven rain and salt-laden coastal air, leading to gradual deterioration. High humidity, frequent rain showers, and occasional harsh winds contribute to mould, mildew, algae growth, and general grime buildup on exterior surfaces.

Effects on Your Property

• Mould and Mildew: Wellington’s damp climate provides ideal conditions for mould and mildew to thrive on exterior walls, roofs, and pathways.
• Algae Growth: The moist environment encourages algae growth, which not only detracts from your property’s appearance but can also compromise its structural integrity if left unchecked.
• Salt and Rust: Properties near the coast are particularly vulnerable to salt spray, leading to rust formation on metal surfaces such as roofs and pathways.

At Chemwash Wellington, we specialise in low-pressure exterior cleaning techniques tailored to tackle Wellington’s environmental challenges effectively. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain your property:

Regular House Washing Wellington

• Why: Wellington’s notorious winds pick up dust, dirt, and debris, leaving your house looking dull and can damage the exterior if the build-up is left unchecked.
• How: Using our soft washing technique, we gently clean surfaces without damaging paint or causing water ingress, which are common issues with high-pressure water blasting.

Roof Treatments

• Why: Protects against salt, algae, moss, and lichen growth that can damage roofing materials.
• How: We apply safe and effective treatments to extend your roof’s lifespan. The treatments are designed to activate with rain and wind, making Wellington’s climate the ideal environment for them to work their magic.

 Pathway Treatments

• Why: Prevents slippery surfaces and removes stains caused by algae and moss, commonly found on Wellington’s residential walkways, driveways, and concrete slabs.
• How: Our treatments not only clean but also provide a protective barrier against future growth. We also have extensive experience in cleaning hilly pathways and high-traffic areas.
