School & childcare centre washing in Northland & Auckland

Schools and childcare centres are not standard commercial jobs. Children and staff are on site most of the day, which means timing, chemical safety, and minimal disruption are non-negotiable. We get that, and we plan every job around it.

Most of our school and childcare work is scheduled during holidays and weekends. When a job needs to happen during term time, we work around bell times, lunch breaks, and the areas children use. We use biodegradable solutions that are safe once dry, and we take particular care around gardens, planted areas, and outdoor play spaces.

What we clean at schools and childcare centres

Building exteriors, classroom blocks, school halls, and childcare centre facades are washed using soft wash methods that are effective without being aggressive on cladding or paintwork. We wash walls, eaves, soffits, joinery, and spouting as a complete exterior clean.

Adventure playgrounds, decks, paved areas, and shade structures are also part of what we do. Shade structures in particular tend to build up grime and mould over time and can be difficult to reach without the right equipment. Our telescopic equipment reaches up to 15 metres from the ground, which means most structures can be cleaned safely from ground level.

Roofs are cleaned or treated depending on the condition and roof type. We strongly recommend treatment over washing for most school roofs, as it is gentler, longer-lasting, and significantly more cost-effective. Gutters and downpipes are cleared and flushed to confirm full flow.

We use commercial-grade cleaning solutions, not the diluted products available at hardware stores. The difference in result is significant, and it means the job is done properly the first time.

The post-wash report

When we wash a school or childcare centre, we can provide a post-wash report on request. The report includes photos of any problem areas that are susceptible to ongoing mould or lichen growth, and flags any damage or early signs of deterioration, particularly in areas that are difficult to see from the ground.

Catching these things early can save thousands in repair costs down the line. It is one of the more practical things we offer, and it is particularly valuable for property managers and boards overseeing buildings they do not inspect regularly.

Health and safety on school and childcare sites

Blast Away Guys holds a 100% SiteWise Gold certification score, maintained for four consecutive years. Before any job begins we complete a site-specific Job Safety Analysis covering hazard identification, chemical handling, access equipment, and any site-specific considerations.

All chemicals we use are biodegradable and documented, which means you have a full record for compliance purposes if needed.

Maintenance plans for schools and childcare centres

Many schools and childcare centres move to a regular maintenance plan after the first job. Annual or twice-yearly scheduled visits with consistent pricing locked in for the term of the agreement. In many cases, the materials used to clad or roof a building require scheduled washing as a condition of their manufacturer warranty. We can structure a plan around those requirements so the warranty stays valid.
