We've soft washed Queenslanders over 120 years old without a single board lifted, paint stripped or timber damaged. Heritage homes demand a different approach — soft washing is the only safe method. We understand the materials, the age, and the risks. Your Queenslander is in safe hands.

Queensland's iconic Queenslander homes — high-set, timber-framed, chamferboard or VJ-panelled — are among the most beautiful and most delicate properties to clean in the country. Homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s often have original timber cladding, heritage paint finishes and construction that simply cannot withstand the force of a pressure washer. A single pass of high-pressure water on a 100-year-old chamferboard can split joins, blow out boards, force water into wall cavities and lift paint that took decades to build up. We've soft washed Queenslanders over 120 years old — removing decades of mould, algae, lichen and Queensland grime without touching what's underneath. Our method uses low-pressure application of professional grade cleaning solution that kills biological growth at the root, rinses clean and leaves the timber exactly as we found it — just significantly cleaner. We work across Redlands, Brisbane Bayside and Southside, the Scenic Rim and all of South East Queensland.
Safe low-pressure cleaning for original timber cladding, VJ panels and chamferboard. We use the correct chemical concentration and pressure to clean without splitting joins or forcing water behind boards.
Old terracotta, slate and early corrugated iron roofs need careful treatment. We assess your specific roof type before any work begins and adjust our method accordingly — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
High-set Queenslanders have extensive eave overhangs, decorative lattice and wide verandahs that accumulate years of grime. We clean these carefully without the spray-back damage risk that comes from high-pressure equipment.
Roof, walls, eaves, gutters, lattice, verandah and stairs all in one visit. Photographed before and after. Price confirmed upfront, no surprises on the day.
Not many operators can say that. We have genuine experience with heritage timber construction and know exactly how much pressure and which chemical concentrations are safe for timber, paint and original construction of different eras.
We never use high pressure on Queenslander cladding. Full stop. Every competitor who brings a pressure washer to a heritage home is taking a risk with your property.
Chamferboard, VJ panels, hardwood framing, early fibro additions, terracotta ridge capping, heritage paint — we work with these regularly and adjust our method to each material type, not a standard routine applied to everything.
Yes — soft washing at the correct low pressure and chemical concentration is specifically the right method for heritage timber homes. High pressure washing on original Queenslander cladding risks splitting boards, blowing out joins and forcing water into wall cavities. We've cleaned Queenslanders over 120 years old safely.
No. Soft washing uses low pressure — roughly equivalent to a garden hose — combined with a cleaning solution. It will not lift bonded paint. High pressure washing is the method that strips paint. If your paint is already peeling from age or sun damage, we'll note that before starting.
In South East Queensland's humid climate, every 12 to 24 months is typical for a Queenslander. Homes in shadier positions or close to vegetation may need more frequent attention as biological growth builds up faster.
Yes — high-set Queenslanders are a regular part of our work. We're equipped for multi-level properties and use appropriate safety equipment for working at height.
The under-house area of a Queenslander — lattice, stumps, exposed timber framing — can be included in a full exterior package. It's often where organic growth builds up heavily due to shade and moisture.
