North Shore homes are known for their beautiful coastal outlooks, lush greenery — and unfortunately, constant exposure to salt air, mould, pollen, and grime. Whether you’re in a weatherboard classic in Devonport or a modern townhouse in Albany, your home’s exterior needs regular care to stay clean, protected, and looking its best.
At Metro Water Blasting, we provide safe, professional house washing services across the entire North Shore. Using soft wash technology and eco-friendly products, we remove dirt, mould, algae, and pollutants without damaging paint or surfaces.

Why House Washing Matters on the North Shore
The combination of coastal salt air, tree coverage, and damp winters means North Shore homes build up exterior grime faster than other parts of Auckland. Over time, this leads to:
- Paint deterioration and staining
- Mould and algae growth
- Aged, dull-looking cladding
- Health risks from air-borne spores
Our house washing service is designed to restore your home’s appearance and protect its materials, from Devonport to Dairy Flat.
