Pre-Paint House Washing Auckland – Ready Your Surface for Perfection

A pre-paint wash focuses on surface preparation: removing mould, grime and oxidised “chalk,” and ensuring the surface is clean, sound, and ready for primer and topcoats. It’s a more thorough, painter-friendly process.

Yes. We carry out mould and chalk removal using painter-safe detergents and controlled soft-wash techniques, followed by a thorough rinse, so primers and topcoats can bond properly.

Typically yes. We aim for a paint-ready dry finish on the same day (weather dependent). Your painter can then prime/paint as soon as moisture levels and conditions are suitable.

It is. We use a low-pressure soft-wash approach suited to weatherboards, plaster, brick, and metal claddings, adjusting technique to protect delicate or ageing coatings while still achieving a clean, stable surface.

We tailor the clean for colour-change prep by paying extra attention to high-exposure areas, streaking, and residual chalk so the new colour lays evenly and the finish looks consistent.

Ideally 2–5 days before painting to allow for any weather rescheduling and to ensure a dry, dust-free surface on paint day. We can coordinate timing directly with your painter if you prefer.
