Exterior cleaning in North Bondi

Elevated headland homes with ocean outlooks and the heaviest salt and wind exposure on the Bondi peninsula.

Headland homes rebuilt in glass and render, semis and small apartment blocks along the slope. Around Ben Buckler, Hugh Bamford Reserve, the golf course and Williams Park, on streets such as Military Road, Ramsgate Avenue, Hastings Parade and Blair Street, the defining exterior problem is headland exposure that etches glass and salts render on three sides.

Salt spray is the dominant force on North Bondi exteriors. Glass hazes within weeks, render streaks under sills and fixings rust-run within a season, and black algae colonises the shaded southern walls. We schedule North Bondi homes on quarterly glass and six to twelve-monthly soft-wash cycles rather than waiting for the grime to become visible.

Waverley Council. Waverley Council manages Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama beaches and operates a stormwater-to-ocean catchment, so it is particularly vigilant about detergents and debris entering street drains. Coastal salt load means render, glass and metal weather fast here and benefit from a regular soft-wash schedule.

Our approach in North Bondi: We mix sodium hypochlorite, surfactant and water to a strength matched to the growth on the wall, usually 0.5 to 1.5 percent, apply it with a 12 volt soft-wash pump at under 100 psi, allow a 10 minute dwell, then rinse with fresh water from the top down. Every job is led by a named technician, carries $20 million public liability and finishes with same-day photos. Pricing is on request: we measure, test-patch any stone and send one fixed written figure.
