House Washing Clontarf

When you walk along the path near Clontarf Reserve or look out across Middle Harbour from Sandy Bay Road, you feel that salty breeze straight away. That same salty air lands on homes in Clontarf every day. Add in the leaf drop from the big gums along Moore Street and the damp shade around the hillier parts of Holmes Avenue, and houses in Clontarf get dirty way faster than most people expect.

A lot of locals say the same thing: “Our place looked old for years. One proper house wash and it looked brand new.”

That’s what happens when someone who knows Clontarf does the job right.

Why house washing matters in Clontarf

Clontarf homes deal with a blend of harbour moisture, coastal salt, shade, and lots of trees. Without regular house washing, these problems show up pretty fast:

Salt sitting on paint and window frames

Green mould on the shaded side of the home

Black grime marks on gutters from leaf litter

Dirt stains building up on brick and render

Paint wearing down quicker from moisture and salt

Because Clontarf sits so close to the water, most homes need a wash every 12–18 months. Homes up the hill or tucked behind trees usually need cleaning more often because mould grows quicker in those shaded spots.

Our house washing services in Clontarf

Every home in Clontarf has different cleaning needs.

Homes right near the water around Peronne Avenue get heavier salt spray. Older weatherboard homes near Holmes Avenue need soft washing so the paint stays safe. Homes closer to Clontarf Reserve pick up more dirt from foot traffic and weekend storms.

Here’s how we handle house washing in this suburb:

Soft Washing for Painted Surfaces – We use low-pressure cleaning with a gentle detergent to remove mould, dirt, and salt without peeling paint.

Brick + Render Cleaning – Homes around Moore Street and the upper ridge lines often get dark streaks from moisture. We use controlled pressure to clear the stains safely.

Driveway + Path Cleaning – Paths and driveways get slippery pretty fast in Clontarf because the mix of shade and sea air helps mould grow quicker. We wash them clean and remove the slime.

Gutter + Fascia Washing – Gutters get black grime from falling gum leaves. Washing the outside brightens the whole home straight away.

Deck + Outdoor Area Cleaning – Clontarf has a lot of outdoor living spaces, especially around the homes near the water. We clean mould, dirt, and leaves from decks so they look and feel fresh again.

Every job is matched to the home’s type, age, and exact location in Clontarf.

Local knowledge that helps a lot

Because we work all across the Northern Beaches, we already understand the little details that make Clontarf different.

Homes near the foreshore pick up salt every day, even on calm mornings.

Homes behind the tall gum trees get heavy leaf litter and darker staining on the walls.

The streets higher up near the eastern side hold more moisture, which makes mould grow faster.

Homes closer to the parklands pick up dust and dirt after windy weather.

This means we don’t guess when we show up. We test the surface, check the material, set the pressure right, and pick a cleaning mix that suits Clontarf’s mix of salt, shade, and moisture.

That’s why locals usually say: “These guys actually understand Clontarf.”
