Full House Exterior Package in Freshwater

In Freshwater the full house exterior package work is mostly on render, glass. Rendered and weatherboard homes, art-deco flats and new beachfront rebuilds on the headland. The defining problem here is ocean salt on render and glass, and weatherboard that needs gentle washing, which decides the chemistry, the pressure and how often the surface needs attention.

We work around Freshwater Beach, the Harbord Diggers and McKillop Park headland, on streets such as Lawrence Street, Moore Road, Oliver Street and Undercliff Road. Salt spray is the dominant force on Freshwater 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 Freshwater homes on quarterly glass and six to twelve-monthly soft-wash cycles rather than waiting for the grime to become visible.

Northern Beaches Council. Northern Beaches Council stretches from Manly to Palm Beach and manages one of the longest coastlines of any Sydney LGA. Salt spray, sand and humidity mean glass, render and Colorbond need more frequent soft washing, and the council's coastal catchment policies require that no detergents or sediments enter stormwater drains that flow to the beaches and lagoons.
