Water Blasting & Surface Prep

House washes, deck cleans, paint-prep washes. Pressure dialled to the substrate — 1200-1500 PSI for weatherboard, higher for concrete.

What's involved

Every exterior paint job starts with a clean surface — for most Wellington homes that's a water-blast. We run at 1200-1500 PSI for weatherboard prep, higher for concrete and brick.

Pressure and angle matter more than people think. Domestic blasters at 2000+ PSI held square-on drive water through weatherboard overlaps into wall cavities. We use 45° angled passes at 300-400mm distance, then leave 24-48 hours for the timber to dry before any primer.

Also available as a standalone service: house wash for property listings, deck cleans, driveway wash. From $250 for a single-storey weatherboard exterior wash.
