Eastern Suburbs

Retaining wall cleaning in the Eastern Suburbs

Eastern Suburbs blocks drop steeply to the harbour and the ocean, and many are terraced with sandstone or rendered walls. Salt and damp stain them, and access can be tight, so we plan the work tier by tier.

Retaining walls hold back wet soil, so the back face is damp all the time. Water seeps through, carries salts and tannin to the front, and feeds mould and moss. On a sloping block they're often the biggest surface you see from the house.

We treat the growth, then clean the wall at the pressure its material can take: low for sandstone and render, firmer for block and brick in good condition. Weep holes are cleared so water can drain, and garden beds are protected.

Local detail

Retaining wall cleaning across the Eastern Suburbs

What we see in suburbs in the Eastern Suburbs:

  • Double Bay: The housing ranges from Victorian and Federation terraces with small courtyards to large homes on the slopes with pools and harbour views.

How often

For retaining wall cleaning, plan on near the water, every 12 to 18 months; on sheltered sites, every 2 years.

What affects the quote

  • Waterfront: wash water near the shoreline may need to be contained and collected.
  • Large glass and mixed materials: methods change at each material edge.
  • Heritage materials: test patches and lower pressure take longer than a modern build.

Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.

Nathan did an incredible job at my home cleaning all my outdoor paving areas. He even washed some extra areas of my house free of charge and his price was very reasonable. He's a lovely fella and was prompt, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nathan's services.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Do you offer retaining wall cleaning everywhere in the Eastern Suburbs?

Yes. We cover all 12 suburbs listed above from our base in Elanora Heights.

Can you clean a sandstone retaining wall?

Yes, at low pressure so the face of the stone isn't eroded.

What is the white powder on my retaining wall?

Usually efflorescence, salts carried out of the wall by water. It can be treated and cleaned off, but it returns if water keeps moving through.

Can timber sleepers be cleaned?

Yes, at low pressure so the timber doesn't fur up.

Will cleaning damage my plants?

We cover or rinse plants and direct run-off away from beds.

Do you clean the neighbour's side of the wall?

Only your side, unless the neighbour agrees.
