The method
A Soft Wash, Not a High-Pressure Blast
House washing in Rotorua is mostly about mould, mildew, lichen and the film that forms on cladding after a wet, shaded stretch. A high-pressure blast tries to force that growth off with water. It can mark paint, drive moisture into joins and be a poor fit on weatherboards. We use a low-pressure soft-wash system and eco-friendly products instead: the solution loosens the growth, then we rinse it away gently.
That approach suits the house types we wash most often. Weatherboards and painted timber need a light touch so the coating stays intact. Brick and plaster clean well with the same low-pressure method, without scoring the surface or the pointing. Mixed cladding is fine too — tell us what the house is finished in, or choose “not sure” on the form, and we will allow for it in the quote.
Two-storey walls, tight side paths and steeper sections take more set-up, but they are still part of the same service. The products are biodegradable and used with care around planting and lawns. Please keep children and pets clear of wet work areas until those areas have been rinsed and have dried.
A standard wash
What a Standard House Wash Includes
Guide prices are for a standard single-storey wash. The walls are the core of the job. The trim and the paths are included, because that is often where a house still looks unfinished if they are left.
- CladdingA low-pressure soft wash of the exterior walls — weatherboards, brick, plaster or mixed cladding.
- Fascias and the outside of the spoutingThe trim is washed as part of the standard job, so leaf litter and growth are not left sitting against the paint. We do not clear the inside of the gutters on this site.
- PathsThe paths around the house are included in a standard wash.
If you would like the driveway done in the same visit, mention it on the form and we will include it in the quote. It is not automatically part of the guide prices above.

Before we arrive
How to Prepare for a House Wash
Close all the windows
That’s the main thing we ask. Closed windows keep the wash on the outside of the house, where it belongs.
You don’t need to be home
We only need clear access around the outside. Many customers are at work, or the property is a rental.
Tell us about access
A tight side path, planting, a steep section or a locked gate can add set-up time. Mention it on the form so the quote is accurate.

What House Washing Costs in Rotorua
Every job is quoted free, with no obligation. Guide prices below are for a standard single-storey wash, plus GST. The final figure depends on access, condition and the height of the house.
| House size | Guide price (+GST) |
|---|---|
| 2 bedroom | From $200 |
| 3 bedroom | From $250 |
| 4 bedroom | From $300 |
A few things tend to move the figure up or down.
Size of the house
How much wall there is to wash, including a garage or a sleepout if you want those done too.
Storeys
A two-storey house takes more reaching than a single-storey one. The guide prices are for a standard single-storey wash.
Growth and cladding
Heavier mould or lichen, and the type of surface, can add time. Weatherboards, brick and plaster are all quoted on the condition in front of us.
Access
If we need extra time to get around the house — a narrow path, a steep section, or planting close to the walls — the quote will reflect that.

Common questions
House Washing in Rotorua, Answered
How much does house washing cost in Rotorua?
Quotes are free and no-obligation. A standard single-storey wash is from $200 (2 bedroom), $250 (3 bedroom) or $300 (4 bedroom), plus GST. Two storeys, heavier growth or trickier access can move the figure, and we will say so in the quote.
What does a standard house wash include?
The walls are the core of the job. A standard wash also includes the fascias, the outside of the spouting, and the paths. If you would like the driveway done in the same visit, mention it on the form and we will include it in the quote.
What is a soft wash, and will it damage my paint?
A soft wash uses low pressure and eco-friendly products to loosen mould, algae and grime, then rinse it away gently. That is a better fit for weatherboards, brick, plaster and painted cladding than a high-pressure blast, which can mark paint and drive water into joins. We will talk through the condition of your cladding when we quote.
How should I prepare, and do I need to be home?
You do not need to be home. Close all the windows before we arrive and leave a clear path around the outside of the house. If a side path is tight, the section is steep, or something is in the way, tell us on the form.
Which areas do you cover for house washing?
We wash houses across Rotorua and its suburbs, plus Hamurana, Lake Ōkareka, Lake Tarawera, Lake Rotoiti, Mourea, Te Puke, Tokoroa and Mamaku. If you are just outside this list, ask — we will let you know if we can get to you.
Can you wash a rental, or a house that is going on the market?
Yes. We wash rentals for property managers, and a pre-sale wash is the same standard job timed before photos or open homes. Send the address and, if you manage more than one property, mention that on the form.
Do you also do gutters, roofs or windows on this site?
No. This site is for house washing. If you also need the gutters cleared, the roof treated or the windows washed, Rotorua Property Services can usually help with that. Mention it on the quote form and we will include it in the conversation.
