House washing and roof cleaning in Argenton
In short: Argenton grew around lead smelting, which began here in 1898, and the old Cockle Creek Smelter was pulled down in the 2000s. Its houses are on Central Coast Soft Wash's list for washing and roof cleaning; the business itself is based at Bateau Bay, 52.3 km south.

What do Argenton's houses need now the smelter has gone?
Besides the smelter, Argenton was home to the Newcastle Mines Rescue Station from 1927 and to the Waratah Golf Club, formed in 1901 and the oldest golf club in Newcastle. Demolition of the Cockle Creek Smelter was nearly finished by 2009, with the land cleared and replanted, and the Glendale Supercentre now sits within the suburb's boundaries.
Detached houses were 84.7% of the homes counted in 2021, attached dwellings 12.1%. Render and brick come clean with a house wash that relies on a cleaning solution rather than force, and tiles can be added as a roof clean while everything is set up.
