Macmasters Beach roof cleaning, beside Bouddi National Park

Which parts of a Macmasters Beach home miss out on rain-washing?

The village is named after Allan MacMaster, one of the first landowners here in 1855, who had come from Scotland in 1839, and locals often describe it as having a village feel. Nearly all of its homes are detached, 97.6% of occupied dwellings in 2021, and 57.2% had four or more bedrooms. As a beach village it gets sea air, and COLORBOND asks for sheltered steel, like eave undersides, garage door tops and the underside of eave gutters, to be hosed more often than every six months in coastal spots where salt spray is common. A roof soft wash handles the roof itself at low pressure.
