Exterior Cleaning & House Washing in Malabar, NSW 2036

Malabar (2036) wraps around Long Bay between Maroubra and Little Bay — a quiet pocket of family homes on the headland, ringed by golf course and national park scrub, with the ocean on three sides of the peninsula.

Peninsula exposure

Surrounded by water and low coastal scrub with nothing tall to break the wind, Malabar homes take salt from whichever direction the weather comes. The bay side is gentler than the open-ocean streets near the headland, but nothing here is genuinely sheltered. Render, painted brick, glass and metalwork all carry a salt film that builds steadily and shortens the life of paint and fittings if it’s left.

The housing stock

Mostly post-war brick and newer rendered rebuilds on decent blocks — practical family homes rather than trophy houses, which means practical full-exterior maintenance: soft house wash, driveway and paths, gutters, and the boat-and-trailer hardstands that are a Malabar signature. Concrete aprons that live under a parked boat collect a particular mix of salt drip, oil and algae that cleans up dramatically.

Bay damp and shade

The streets folding down toward the bay hold morning moisture longer, and south-facing walls there go green-black faster than the exposed headland streets. It’s the usual coastal pattern — salt where it’s open, mould where it’s sheltered — and each end needs its own treatment.

Recommended cycle

Annual washing on the headland and beachfront streets; 12–18 months through the rest of the suburb. Gutters yearly — salt-laden debris corrodes gutters faster than leaf litter alone, and Malabar gets both. Request a quote today.
