Professional Fence Cleaning Services

Professional fence cleaning is a two-step process. First, a specialist chemical blend is applied to soften and break down dirt, mould, mildew, algae, and organic buildup on the fence surface. This is followed by a precise low-pressure wash that lifts the contaminants away without damaging the material. Getting the pressure right is critical — too high and you risk damaging the fence, too low and you won't achieve a proper clean. Our team has the experience and equipment to get it right every time.

We clean all common fence types found across New Zealand including timber, painted wood, weatherboard, vinyl, Colorsteel, Zincalume, aluminium, concrete block, and brick fencing. Each material requires a different approach in terms of chemical solution and pressure setting. Our team assesses the fence material and condition before starting to ensure the most effective and safe clean for your specific fence.

Fences are one of the first things visitors and passersby notice about your property. In New Zealand's climate, mould, lichen, and algae can establish on fence surfaces quickly, causing them to look neglected and aged. Beyond appearance, biological growth and moisture can accelerate deterioration of timber and coatings, leading to rot, peeling paint, and premature replacement. Regular cleaning extends the life of your fence and keeps your property looking well maintained from the street.

Once a year is a good guideline for most New Zealand properties. Fences in high-moisture areas, near trees, or on the shaded side of the property may need cleaning more frequently as mould and algae establish faster in those conditions. If you can see visible green or black growth, or the fence looks dull and weathered, it is time for a clean regardless of the last service date.

Not when done correctly with low pressure and appropriate cleaning solutions. The risk of damage comes from using excessive pressure or the wrong chemicals on painted or stained surfaces, which is a common DIY mistake. Our low-pressure soft wash technique is safe for painted and stained timber fences and will not lift or strip a coating that is in good condition. If the paint or stain is already failing, we will let you know before we start.

Yes, and a freshly cleaned fence is the ideal preparation for painting or staining. Paint and stain bond far better to a clean, dry surface than to one with dirt and mould present. Allow the fence to dry fully after cleaning before applying any coating, which typically takes 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions. Getting the fence professionally cleaned before repainting is one of the most important steps for a long-lasting finish.

Yes. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions and take care to protect surrounding plants and garden beds during the clean. We pre-wet nearby vegetation before applying any chemical solution and rinse thoroughly afterward. If you have sensitive plants, vegetable gardens, or water features close to the fence line, let us know when booking and we will take extra precautions around those areas.

Yes, where access allows. Cleaning both sides of a timber fence is worthwhile as mould and moisture can affect both faces, particularly on boundary fences that sit close to vegetation. If access to the neighbouring side is restricted, we will clean as much as is safely reachable from your side and let you know if the other side needs attention.

Yes, and combining services in a single visit is a smart way to save time and get more value. Many of our customers book a house wash, deck clean, and fence clean together so the entire exterior of their property is refreshed at once. We will provide a combined quote covering all the surfaces you want cleaned so you know exactly what to expect before we arrive.

Pricing depends on the length and height of the fence, the material type, and the level of soiling. We provide transparent, obligation-free quotes upfront so there are no surprises on the day. We service properties across Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown. Get in touch for a free assessment and an accurate price for your property.
