Exterior cleaning in Elanora Heights

Large 1960s to 1980s homes on big blocks around the country club, many rebuilt as substantial rendered and stone homes with tennis courts and pools, backing onto bushland reserves on the plateau edge. Most of what we clean here dates from 1960s to 1980s with large rebuilds, on sandstone plateau above Deep Creek and Narrabeen Lagoon.

We work around Elanora Country Club, Deep Creek and the Narrabeen Lagoon trail, Ingleside Chase Reserve and Elanora Heights shops on Kalang Road, on streets such as Kalang Road, Powderworks Road, Elanora Road, Nareen Parade and Wilson Avenue. The defining exterior problem is moss and lichen on shaded tennis courts and paving, leaf-choked gutters on the reserve edge, and black growth on the render where the canopy keeps the walls damp.

Terrey Hills, Duffys Forest, Belrose, Davidson, Frenchs Forest, Ingleside and the plateaus behind the beaches back onto Garigal and Ku-ring-gai Chase national parks. Salt is minor; leaf litter, shade, bushfire-prone-land obligations and acreage-scale hard surfaces decide the work.

Field note from Elanora Heights. Elanora's tennis courts under the gums green over every winter; we clean them with a soft-wash biocide and a low-pressure rinse so the acrylic or synthetic surface is not stripped, and they play true again the next weekend. Nathan G, Founder

Planning and site constraints we check in Elanora Heights:

• Bushfire-prone land along Ingleside Chase Reserve and the Deep Creek escarpment
• Narrabeen Lagoon catchment

Run-off. Anything washed off a Elanora Heights property ends up in Narrabeen Lagoon via Deep Creek unless it is stopped at the kerb. Northern Beaches Council enforces the NSW EPA rule that wash water, detergent and sediment stay out of stormwater, so we bund drains, capture run-off and vacuum-recover on sealed or commercial sites.
