Lower Hutt isn’t just rising in popularity — it’s a place defined by its lush valley setting, coastal proximity, and winding hillside roads. But with high rainfall, lush vegetation, and urban development, homes in Petone, Naenae, Avalon, Woburn, and the Hutt Valley get dirty fast. From green moss on weatherboards to grime and dust stains near busy streets — your home’s exterior can lose its charm quickly.
At Metro Water Blasting, we deliver top-tier soft house washing in Lower Hutt, using low-pressure, eco-friendly techniques that clean deeply without damaging paint or cladding. Whether you’re preparing your property for sale, refreshing your family’s space, or tackling grime after winter — our approach is safe, effective, and tailored to this region.

Why Lower Hutt Homes Need Specialized Soft Washing
Down here in the Hutt, you face:
- Heavy annual rainfall — averaging over 1,200 mm and rising during winter
- Layered housing — close together, which traps moisture and limits sunlight
- Leaf debris from mature trees, especially in suburbs like Naenae and Avalon
- Urban dust and traffic grime, particularly near shops and main roads in Petone and Woburn
- Salt air influence in eastern areas like Eastbourne, where sea spray brings fungal growth
Combined, these elements create the perfect environment for mould, algae, dust streaking, and paint deterioration — unless your home gets regular attention.
Suburb-by-Suburb House Washing Needs
✅ Petone
Old villas and terraces with shaded cobbles. Expect mould on facades near rooftops and cobwebs under eaves — ideal candidates for soft washing.
✅ Naenae & Avalon
Hillside layouts and bush lining lead to mould growth on weatherboards and elevated stucco homes. We use low-pressure, high-coverage cleaning.
✅ Woburn & Lower Hutt Central
Busy arterial traffic contributes soot and residue on painted walls — regular washing keeps exteriors looking fresh.
✅ Eastbourne & Melling
Coastal conditions pull in salt spray and rich seaborn particulates. Homes here fare best with annual washes to prevent paint fade.

Our full-service package includes:
- All exterior surfaces — timber, brick, plaster, weatherboards, modern cladding
- Eaves, soffits, fascias, and gutter exteriors (soft wash)
- Windows, trims, and entry areas
