House washing and water blasting in Karori, done by James, often the same week.
Cleaning in Karori
Karori's hilly, south-facing geography and older housing stock mean most properties need exterior cleaning more often than the Wellington average. Older painted weatherboard villas in particular benefit from a soft wash every 12 months, high pressure on aged paint will strip it, so the method matters as much as the frequency. Roof moss on 1950s tile and concrete-tile roofs is another regular Karori job; left alone, it traps moisture and shortens roof life.
Housing in Karori
Karori is a mix of 1920s–1950s weatherboard villas, brick post-war homes, and newer infill builds in the Karori Park and Karori West pockets. Many properties sit on south-facing slopes that catch the worst of Wellington's southerlies, moss on roofs and fences shows up fast.
Common issues we see in Karori
- South-facing walls accumulate moss and black mould within 12 months
- Older weatherboard villas need soft wash, not high pressure
- Long shared driveways pick up tyre marks and oil staining
- Roof valleys on 1950s tile roofs hold moisture and grow lichen
Karori homes, particularly the older weatherboard villas on the south-facing slopes, see more moss, mould and salt deposit than the Wellington average. Twenty-five years of cleaning across the suburb has taught us which streets sit in shadow and what each housing era can take.
