Since 1985 JT Property Wash has worked for Foodstuffs and currently clean most of the Foodstuffs supermarkets, distribution centres and cool stores in the Lower North Island.

Mark Lash, Property Manager at Foodstuffs (Wellington) says JT Property Wash does an exceptional job, is reliable and the regular cleaning of their buildings is a vital part of Foodstuffs’ building maintenance programme.

Mark says there are two essential benefits to cleaning your building. “The first is aesthetic. If the store is cleaned thoroughly, it looks inviting and makes the customer welcome.

"The second benefit is that it’s deferred maintenance – it stops problems before they occur. Cleaning keeps grime, moss and lichen off our buildings and ultimately lengthens the lifespan of the paint and cladding."

"It also ensures we maintain our warranties with our newer buildings. For example, to maintain the warrantee on some of our roofs, they have to be washed regularly."

Mark has been impressed with the level of service offered by JT Property Wash.

“They’ll show up before the store’s open to ensure there’s no disruption to our customers.

"They do a thorough job. They clean the service yards, truck spots – those areas where you often get spills and funny products. They even clean around the big rubbish bins after doing the critical areas."

"We’re always happy with the service provided by JT Property Wash. The cleaning’s just become a regular part of our maintenance programme."

ING Property Trust, which has a range of real estate properties in New Zealand, uses JT Property Wash to clean many of their buildings in the lower North Island.

Roger Yule, a Property Manager at ING Property Trust, says the cleaning is part of their maintenance programme to protect their building assets, and he believes JT Property Wash provides a very professional service.

"Buildings and roofs deteriorate over time, so regular cleaning extends the life of the surface. It’s particularly important for buildings near the sea, exposed to the coastal environment."

"JT Property Wash does a very professional job. Ray Tomlinson has a very thorough understanding of the cleaning process, not just from his experience with the company but also because he has a background in painting. He is prepared to come on site and review the scope of works to provide the best and most economic solution. If there’s painting damage he’ll give us the right advice on how to treat the surface."

For Roger, one thing in particular stands out about their work.

"What we really appreciate is that they respect our clients’ workspaces. The JT Property Wash team produces good work and is always polite with clients and tenants. Their operators are approachable and always leave the space looking nice and tidy when they finish."

"JT Property Wash is an operator that we’re happy to choose and happy to recommend."

JT Property Wash cleans a number of residential Wellington properties for property management company Quinovic.

Jenny Tamplin, Principal at Quinovic Vivian St (Wellington), says JT Property Wash is very professional and the work is always of a high standard keeping homes looking good and in excellent condition.

"We use JT Property to remove mould (which makes decks slippery and paint deteriorate more quickly) from decks or exterior walls. Cleaning is essential to keeping properties looking good and, just as importantly, it extends the life of paint considerably. It’s worth the investment."

"At one place we had a deck washed down before the owner returned and they were thrilled with the transformation."

JT Property Wash provides a range of services for Quinovic’s residential properties including washing down the exterior of the house with low pressure, hand scrubbing windows and doors, and transforming decks and paved areas using a specialist cleaning machine.

"They are very careful. They will come and get the keys to the property so they can close windows that are open to make sure no water gets into the house."

"Ray always makes a real effort – his team is professional, they always look smart and arrive in clean vans. They do a great job and always tidy up afterwards. We’re very happy with the service."
