About
One owner. Twenty-five years. Every job photographed.
James started Clear Water Blasting Services in 2001, not long after noticing how quickly Wellington weather turns a clean house grotty. Twenty-five years and a few thousand driveways later, he still turns up to every job himself, and still photographs the result, before and after, because that's how you actually know what was done.
Owner-operated, not a franchise
Most exterior cleaning outfits in Wellington are franchises or running a roster of contractors. Clear Water Blasting is just James, with his son helping on the bigger jobs. You'll deal with the same person from the quote through to the clean-up. No information getting lost, no subcontractor turning up unannounced, no "the boss isn't on this job today" moments.
Why before-and-after photos matter
Every job gets photographed before and after. Partly because customers like seeing the difference. Mostly because it keeps the work honest, when you're paying for a clean, you should be able to see exactly what changed.
Twenty-five years of Wellington
Wellington's mix of coastal salt, prevailing southerlies and south-facing hills makes its own brand of grime. After 25 years of cleaning across Karori, Khandallah, Johnsonville, Newlands, Brooklyn, Island Bay, the Hutt and dozens of other suburbs, James knows which streets sit in shadow all winter, which housing eras need soft wash rather than high pressure, and what's actually growing on a south-facing wall in Newtown versus a north-facing one in Tawa.
The work
House washing, soft washing, water blasting, driveway cleaning, roof and gutter cleaning, fence and deck cleaning, commercial property washing, and rural property work, all done with the same gear, the same chemistry and the same bloke on site.
