Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning in Collaroy, NSW
Collaroy is about as exposed as Sydney gets. The beachfront blocks sit directly behind the seawall with nothing between them and the weather, and the salt load on those buildings is at the extreme end of what we deal with anywhere.
What Collaroy properties need
On the beachfront strip it is glass, aluminium window frames, stainless balustrading and rendered facades, all of which need attention several times a year rather than annually. Salt does not just sit on the surface here, it pits aluminium and etches glass, and once that has happened cleaning will not reverse it.
Collaroy Plateau is a different job
Up on the plateau you are out of the direct salt but under heavier tree cover, so the work shifts to gutters, mossy paths and lichen on roofing. If you are up there, gutter and roof work is usually the priority rather than glass.
Strata and beachfront blocks
Most of our Collaroy work is common property on the apartment blocks along Pittwater Road and the beachfront. Entries, walkways, stairwell glass and balustrading. We quote per building and work around resident access.

Local council area: Northern Beaches Council
Collaroy falls under the Warringah Local Environmental Plan 2011, inherited by Northern Beaches Council when the Manly, Pittwater and Warringah councils merged. Beyond heritage, the beachfront strip here carries coastal hazard planning controls that do not apply further inland, so front-line properties can have requirements their neighbours a street back do not.

Local note: The suburb takes its name from the SS Collaroy, a steamer driven ashore on the beach in 1881 and left stranded there for two years. The exposure that beached her is the same exposure now corroding the fixings on the front row of houses.
