Roof cleaning for Hardys Bay homes and weekenders

Which Hardys Bay homes need a check before a roof clean?

The bay is named after Harry Hardy, who kept a small vineyard and sold wine to locals, and its story is bound up with Wagstaffe, Killcare and Pretty Beach. Electricity arrived in 1939, three years after the road, and town water was not connected until 1980. The village now has shops and cafes, an RSL club and a marina.

In recent decades the area has become a prime spot for holiday houses and retirement. On Census night 2021, 39.8% of private dwellings stood unoccupied, and 95.0% of the occupied ones were separate houses. Owners who live elsewhere can read how a quote works without a site visit.

Town water came late, so it is worth checking whether a roof still feeds a rainwater tank before a roof soft wash is booked; the FAQ deals with tank-fed roofs as well.
