Soft wash, not blast — there's a difference
Cladding and paintwork should never take a full-pressure waterblast. A proper house wash uses cleaning solutions to kill mould and lift grime, then a gentle rinse — the dirt goes, the paint stays. Hard surfaces like the driveway still get the full blast treatment.
Before you paint or sell, wash
Painters charge to wash a house before painting anyway — doing it as maintenance every year or two keeps coatings alive longer and pushes the repaint years away. And nothing lifts street appeal before an open home like fresh-washed cladding.
Driveways and paths want the opposite treatment — full-pressure waterblasting — and stubborn growth on roofs and shady walls gets moss & mould treatment. Add gutter cleaning while the ladder's out.
Streb covers the whole city and surrounds — from the CBD to the Port Hills, Selwyn and Waimakariri. See the full service area.

Common questions
What's the difference between house washing and waterblasting?
Pressure. House washing uses cleaning solutions and a gentle rinse that's safe on cladding and paint; waterblasting is high pressure for concrete, pavers and other hard surfaces. Andy does both — and knows which surface gets which.
How often should a house be washed in Christchurch?
Once a year to eighteen months for most homes. South-facing and shaded walls grow mould faster and may want a wash more often.
Will the wash harm my plants or paint?
No — the solutions are applied carefully, gardens get rinsed down, and the whole point of a soft wash is protecting your paintwork rather than stripping it.
