As winter fades and longer days return, it’s time to bring your property back to life. Christchurch homes take a beating over the colder months — from mossy roofs to mouldy cladding, blocked gutters to slippery concrete. That’s why spring is the perfect time for a full exterior cleaning reset.
At Metro Water Blasting, we help Christchurch homeowners prepare their properties for summer with safe, professional cleaning services — restoring everything from rooftops to driveways in one efficient visit.
Why Spring Cleaning Matters for Exterior Surfaces
Christchurch’s winter climate encourages:
- Moss and lichen on roofs and decks
- Mould and mildew on house exteriors
- Blocked gutters and overflowing downpipes
- Slippery concrete paths and driveways
- Timber weathering and discolouration
Ignoring these issues not only looks bad — it also leads to:
- Surface damage and decay
- Health hazards from mould spores
- Increased maintenance costs later in the year
- Lower property value and reduced curb appeal
Spring is the ideal season for outdoor restoration — sunny, dry days allow surfaces to clean and cure properly.
What to Include in Your Christchurch Spring Exterior Cleaning Plan
🏠 1. House Washing
Low-pressure soft washing removes winter grime, mould, and spider webs from weatherboards, brick, and cladding.
🌧️ 2. Gutter Cleaning
Clearing gutters and downpipes ensures rainwater flows properly and protects your roof, walls, and foundations.

🧼 3. Roof Cleaning & Moss Treatment
Moss and lichen spread rapidly during winter. A soft wash and moss kill treatment keeps your roof clean and damage-free.

Christchurch Suburbs That Benefit Most from Spring Cleaning
Cashmere, Huntsbury & Hillsborough
Hillside homes experience shade, dampness, and heavy moss growth — especially on roofs, decks, and southern walls.
Merivale, Fendalton & Ilam
Tree-lined streets mean heavy leaf fall, dirty gutters, and mouldy house exteriors.
Sumner, Redcliffs & Southshore
Coastal properties need a spring rinse to remove salt spray, sand, and pollen buildup.
Wigram, Halswell & Hornby
Newer homes still gather dust, pollen, and dirt on cladding and driveways during winter.
When Should You Book?
We recommend scheduling your spring clean between September and early November to:
- Beat the summer rush
- Ensure all surfaces are clean before oiling or repainting
- Get decks and patios ready for BBQ season
- Remove moss before it dries and spreads further in summer
