Concrete cleaning in Wanaka.
Wanaka's holiday-home and architectural builds feature a lot of exposed aggregate and broom-finish concrete — driveways, patios, alfresco areas and pool surrounds. We're here weekly to clean it properly, with chemistry chosen for the surface, not a one-size-fits-all blast.
Working in Wanaka
The local conditions that change how we work.
Wanaka concrete deals with extreme UV, harder frosts than Queenstown, and long shoulder seasons where moss and lichen take hold in shaded areas. Combined with the gravel drives that feed into many properties, surfaces accumulate a layer of grit and biological growth that water blasting alone won't shift cleanly. We pair targeted chemistry with low-pressure rinses to lift the contamination without damaging the slab.
Whether it's a residential job, a commercial site or a heritage building, we adapt our method to the surface, the exposure and the season. Our team is on the ground in Upper Clutha weekly, call-outs to Wanaka are part of the normal schedule, not a special trip.

Wanaka FAQs
Common local questions.
Do you actually come to Wanaka or is it a one-off trip?
Wanaka is a primary service area, not a side trip. We work in Wanaka, Hāwea and the Upper Clutha every week. Travel is built into our quote — there's no surprise fee for being on this side of the Crown Range.
My Wanaka driveway has been pressure-washed for years and now looks worse. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. Years of pressure-washing typically opens the surface up, lets dirt and lichen embed deeper, and may have stripped any original sealer. We'd assess what state the slab is in, deep-clean with chemistry instead of more pressure, and recommend whether sealing afterwards will restore the look long-term.
Can you clean exposed aggregate without smoothing it?
Yes — that's the whole point of using chemistry over pressure. High-pressure blasting smooths exposed aggregate over time by stripping the cement matrix between the stones. Our process lifts the dirt that's lodged in the texture without changing the aggregate profile.
How long does a Wanaka driveway clean usually take?
A standard residential driveway is a half-day job. Longer driveways with associated paths and forecourt areas are typically one day. If we're sealing afterwards, that adds another half-day plus cure time. Our quote spells out the timeline before we start.
