High-Risk Industry
20 Years Learning How Not to Cut Corners
Before SOAKD, I spent two decades in high-risk construction - managing safety on sites where one mistake could end someone's career, or worse. I watched contractors come onto sites to do exterior cleaning work with no safety plans, no method selection, and surfaces getting destroyed by the wrong pressure settings.
That got under my skin. If I know how to do this properly - safely, methodically, with respect for the asset and the people involved - why am I not doing it? So I made the call and started SOAKD Exterior Cleaning.
Every job we take on gets the same structured approach: assess the risks, choose the right method, protect the asset, and plan for ongoing maintenance. That's not a tagline - it's just how we work.
"Every process we follow, every method we select, every safety protocol we run - it comes from 20+ years of learning that shortcuts always cost more in the end."

From Chaos to Confidence
Real transformations on NSW properties. Every result achieved through our SecureClean System - the right method, the right surface, the right outcome.
BEFORE
AFTER
Central Coast, NSW
Coastal Roof Softwash
Years of salt air exposure had left this heritage tile roof coated in mould, lichen, and atmospheric deposits. Our softwash treatment killed growth at the root and restored the original terracotta colour - without damaging a single tile. Results that last 12+ months.

Newcastle, NSW
Gutter and Downpipe Cleaning
Gutters packed with years of leaf debris, moss, and coastal salt build-up blocking drainage completely. Full clearing, downpipe flushing, and flow testing restored the entire system.
BEFORE
AFTER
Central Coast, NSW
Two-Storey Building Wash
Two-storey timber-clad home with weathered roof, mould-streaked cladding, and grime build-up across every surface. A full softwash of the roof, walls, and eaves restored the property to near-new presentation - without damaging a single board.
What Our Clients Actually Say
We don't write our own reviews. Here's what property owners, builders, and managers say after working with us.
"The result speaks for itself. The roof is clean, the windows are sparkling, the driveway looks new. Daniel explained what he was going to do, did exactly that, and the result speaks for itself. We've already booked our annual clean."
Karen M.
Residential Homeowner, Central Coast
"SOAKD showed up on time, had their safety docs ready, worked around the other trades, and the result was clean enough for handover without a callback. I save Daniel's number and call him for every build now."
Matt K.
Site Supervisor, Sydney
"Within four months of working with SOAKD, we had a scheduled program running across all sites with zero missed appointments and full compliance documentation. We stopped chasing. We started trusting."
Lauren N.
Facility Manager, Newcastle
"I've been through three exterior cleaning providers in two years. SOAKD is the first one that delivers exactly what they promise, when they promise it. The properties look consistently maintained and I've had zero complaints from tenants."

Everything you need to know about our exterior cleaning services, methods, and how we protect your property.
Softwash cleaning uses low-pressure water combined with purpose-selected cleaning solutions to kill biological growth - mould, lichen, algae - at the root without damaging the surface. Unlike high-pressure cleaning, softwash does not strip protective coatings from roof tiles, Colorbond, or painted surfaces. Results typically last 12 months or more because the treatment kills growth at the cellular level rather than just blasting it off the surface.
SOAKD Exterior Cleaning services properties across Sydney, the Central Coast, and Newcastle in New South Wales. We specialise in coastal properties that face unique challenges from salt air, humidity, and accelerated biological growth. Our service area covers residential homes, commercial buildings, strata complexes, school campuses, and construction sites throughout these regions.
Yes. SOAKD carries full public liability insurance and workers compensation. Our founder Daniel Fenton has 20+ years of experience in high-risk construction environments and holds height-access qualifications. We provide Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and full safety documentation for every job involving work at heights.
SOAKD uses a surface-specific approach called the SecureClean System. Instead of using the same high pressure on every surface, we assess each surface and select the correct method - softwash for roofs and render, controlled pressure for concrete, purified water for glass. Our 20+ years of construction safety experience means proper height-access protocols, full documentation, and commercial-grade equipment on every job.
Yes. Every job completed by SOAKD includes a recommended Keep-Up Maintenance Plan tailored to your property's specific exposure, surface types, and location. We offer scheduled programs for residential, commercial, and strata properties that run automatically so you never have to remember to rebook.
Yes. SOAKD services residential homes, commercial buildings, strata complexes, schools, and construction sites. We carry commercial-grade equipment including truck-mounted systems, industrial vacuums, and water-fed pole systems. Our safety documentation meets commercial standards.
It can - and that's why we don't use high pressure on sensitive surfaces. High-pressure cleaning on roof tiles strips protective coatings, forces water under tiles, and accelerates deterioration. We use softwash methods for these surfaces, which clean effectively without the damage risk.
A free site assessment includes a full property walkthrough where we evaluate every exterior surface, identify the correct cleaning methods, assess access requirements and safety considerations, and provide a detailed, transparent quote. There's no obligation and no pressure.
