Most places we quote in Kelburn are 1910s–1930s villas and student flats. Tight sections and older paint need a low-pressure wash. We match the mix to the cladding, not a city-wide setting.
We come into Kelburn from Johnsonville — tight sections, so we plan hose runs before we start.

When to book in Kelburn
Late summer into autumn is the best window for a Kelburn roof — dry enough for the biocide to bind, before winter rain.
Walk Kelburn and you mostly see 1910s–1930s villas, student flats, and hillside weatherboard. The cladding we quote is heritage weatherboard, stucco, and painted timber — pressure and mix change with that, not a suburb average.
Streets around Victoria University are steep and heavily parked. Two-storey access and shared student-flat driveways are normal, and north-facing weatherboards above the botanic garden get more mould than the harbour side.
North slopes and valleys in Kelburn collect moss. Biocide, not a blast — and we usually clear the gutters if trees are on the section.
