House Washing in Riccarton – Protect Your Home’s Curb Appeal
In Riccarton, Christchurch, homes face a daily battle with dust, moss, mould, and grime.
With Canterbury’s damp winters, windy springs, and urban dust from nearby traffic, exterior surfaces accumulate layers of dirt that dull your home’s appearance and can even shorten the lifespan of your paintwork and cladding.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we specialise in professional house washing services in Riccarton, delivering brilliant results with our eco-friendly soft wash system — safe for weatherboards, plaster, Colorsteel, and more.
Why House Washing Is Essential for Riccarton Homes
Homeowners in Riccarton deal with:
- Airborne pollution from Riccarton Road traffic settling on walls.
- Moisture and mould growth from shaded gardens and cool winters.
- Dust accumulation from nearby construction and busy suburban streets.
- Moss and algae spread from humid conditions and rainy seasons.
If left untreated, these elements not only hurt your home’s looks — they slowly attack your property’s surface, causing expensive damage over time.
Regular soft washing preserves your paintwork, prevents rot, and enhances property value.
What Surfaces We Clean
We safely clean:
- Painted weatherboard exteriors
- Plaster and monolithic cladding
- Brick veneer homes
- Colorsteel cladding
- Garage doors, downpipes, and soffits
- Front porches, entranceways, and patios
Whether you have a 1950s bungalow or a modern townhouse, we adjust our methods for your specific surface.
Our House Washing Process
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we follow a detailed, proven system:
1. Pre-Wash Inspection
We assess the exterior cladding, checking for fragile areas, paint integrity, and moss/mould buildup.
2. Application of Biodegradable Cleaning Solution
Our eco-friendly detergent kills moss, mould, and mildew safely — without harsh chemical residues.
3. Soft Wash Rinse
Using low-pressure equipment, we gently rinse the surfaces clean — no paint stripping, no surface damage.
4. Finishing Touches
We clean window frames, soffits, garage doors, and downpipes for a complete fresh exterior.

| Homes near busy roads (Riccarton Road) | Every 6–9 months |
