Before you hire

House washing methods differ: soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning agents, while high-pressure washing can damage paint and timber if used incorrectly. Ask which method they use on your cladding type, and confirm they carry insurance for paint or surface damage.

Before you book a house washing company on the North Shore

Drawn from 186 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What does house washing typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more

Budget between $150 and $500 for an average-sized home, with larger or heavily affected properties pushing toward the higher end. Pricing runs roughly $1 to $3 per square metre, so a 200sqm exterior could sit anywhere in that band depending on condition and access. Add-ons like roof treatment, driveway cleaning, and gutter clearing are common bundles and will lift the total, sometimes significantly. Getting two or three written quotes is the most reliable way to benchmark what North Shore operators are actually charging right now.

Does a house washing company need any qualifications or insurance to operate in New Zealand? expand_more

House washing is not a licensed trade in New Zealand, so anyone can legally set up and start operating with no formal qualifications required. That makes insurance the key thing to verify: a reputable operator should carry public liability cover of at least $1 to $2 million to protect you if surfaces, plants, or property are damaged during the job. One review in this category describes strong chemicals staining a deck and killing planted-out gardens, which is exactly the kind of incident liability insurance exists to cover. Ask for proof of current insurance before booking, as there is no central register where you can check this independently.

What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing, and which is right for my house? expand_more

Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with a chemical treatment, usually sodium hypochlorite-based, to kill and remove biological growth like mould, lichen, and algae at a surface level. Pressure washing relies on high-pressure water alone and is best reserved for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, paths, and brick. Most North Shore homes clad in James Hardie fibre cement, timber weatherboards, or monolithic stucco should be soft washed, because high pressure near joins or window flashings on those materials increases leaky building risk and can compromise paint systems.

What are the warning signs of a house washing company you shouldn't use? expand_more
  • –Chemical runoff that damages garden beds, lawns, or potted plants nearby points to poor site preparation and careless product use.
  • –Ignoring explicit requests from the homeowner, such as avoiding certain windows or areas, suggests the crew is not listening on the day.
  • –Marketing products as eco-friendly or biodegradable and then causing drain flooding or chemical damage is a red flag for misleading claims.
  • –Continuing to distribute unsolicited marketing material after being asked not to indicates a disregard for basic customer boundaries.
  • –A pattern of terrible results reported by neighbours, combined with no willingness to return and fix the work, signals poor accountability.
  • –No before-and-after documentation and no fixed invoice matching the original quote are signs of an unprofessional operation.
What should you ask before booking a house wash? expand_more
  • –Ask whether they use soft wash or pressure wash and confirm which method they recommend for your specific cladding type and why.
  • –Ask what chemicals they use for moss and mould treatment, whether those products are safe around gardens and pets, and how runoff is managed.
  • –Confirm exactly what is included in the quoted price: exterior walls, roof, decks, driveway, gutters, and windows are often separate line items.
  • –Ask whether a moss or mould inhibitor is applied after the wash, and how long the result should last before retreatment is needed.
  • –Request a written quote so the final invoice matches what was agreed, and check whether they provide before-and-after photos on completion.
