Built for NSW coastal homeowners
Whether you're in Sydney, the Northern Beaches, the Central Coast, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie or the Hunter Valley, this playbook is built specifically for homes that sit inside AS 4312 corrosivity zones C3 to CX - salt aerosol, humidity, UV exposure, and accelerated biological growth.
Why coastal properties need a different approach
The NSW coast is a measurable environmental exposure. Chloride - the main salt-air degradation agent - decays exponentially with distance from the surf. Properties within the first 25 km sit inside the fast-component zone where ocean salt dominates atmospheric deposition. Manufacturer warranties for roof coatings, metal cladding, and exterior paints often require documented maintenance cleaning at specified intervals as a condition of cover.
Your complete coastal playbook
Ten pages covering the physics, the standards, the seasonal rhythm, and the warning signs worth a walkthrough. The final page offers a free 15-minute phone consult or on-site Coastal Property Walkthrough with a $100 credit on your first Softwash or House Wash service.
