As a property manager or landlord, staying ahead of seasonal maintenance isn’t just about appearances — it’s about protecting your investment, keeping tenants safe, and avoiding costly surprises.
One of the most overlooked (but most valuable) services? Soft house washing.
At Metro Water Blasting, we provide professional exterior cleaning services across Auckland, tailored specifically for:
- Rental homes
- Multi-unit properties
- Property portfolios
- Pre-market presentation
With winter closing in, now is the best time to book a full house wash, before moisture, mould, and algae take hold.

Why Exterior Washing Is Essential Before Winter
| Issue | What Happens If You Skip It |
|---|---|
| Damp walls | Encourage mould growth that spreads inside |
| Moss and algae | Create slippery surfaces — a liability risk |
| Dirty cladding | Traps moisture, leading to paint damage and decay |
| Tenant satisfaction | Drops as grime and mildew become visible and unsanitary |
Clean surfaces dry faster, last longer, and prevent water-related issues that are common in Auckland’s wet season.

Key Benefits for Landlords and Managers
1. Prevent Expensive Maintenance Later
Water stains, peeling paint, and rotting timber can all begin from trapped grime. A house wash is a low-cost way to avoid five-figure repair jobs.
2. Keep Tenants Happy (and Renewing)
No tenant wants to live in a house covered in green mildew. A clean, well-maintained exterior shows you care — and encourages longer leases.
3. Avoid Complaints or Inspection Failures
Letting grime build up often triggers complaints or even notice from compliance inspectors, especially in managed blocks or public housing contracts.
4. Boost Curb Appeal Before Re-Tenanting
If a tenant is moving out, a house wash can dramatically improve appearance for the next listing, often speeding up vacancy turnaround.
We Service All Auckland Suburbs
We cover every zone of the city — from high-volume rentals in South Auckland (Papakura, Māngere, Ōtāhuhu) to executive homes in North Shore (Takapuna, Glenfield, Devonport) and older villas in Central Auckland (Grey Lynn, Sandringham, Mount Roskill).
