Pressure Washing in Brisbane

Pressure Cleaning Services in Brisbane

Pressure cleaning in Brisbane goes wrong the same way every time: full pressure on render, paint or timber strips the surface along with the grime.

So we pre-treat the growth and use low pressure on anything painted or soft, while concrete and pavers still get real pressure. A single driveway is $240 including GST, and you get a photo report when we finish.

What does our pressure cleaning in Brisbane include?

Driveways and paths, patios and pool surrounds, decks and fences, plus single storey house walls. Homes, units, strata and commercial sites.

Every surface is checked first. Loose mortar, cracked coatings and perished seals all change the method, and we would rather find them before we start than after.

Roofs, gutters and solar panels are quoted. We soft wash roofs at low pressure, clean out gutters and clean solar panels, each priced once we have seen the roof and the access.

Indoor tiles are a different job. See tile and grout cleaning in Brisbane.

How often should you book a pressure clean?

Shade decides this more than anything else.

Every year

Shaded blocks, south facing walls and anywhere under trees. Growth comes back fastest where the sun never reaches.

Every two years

Open, sunny properties with good drainage. It keeps the concrete from going permanently grey.

Before you sell

A week before photos, not the day before. A clean driveway and front path change a listing photo for little money.

What is included in every pressure clean?

Four stages. The first one is the one most often skipped.

Inspection first

  • Surface type identified
  • Loose mortar checked
  • Coatings and seals checked
  • Method chosen per surface
  • Risks flagged before we start

Pre-treatment

  • Degreaser on oil and tyre marks
  • Treatment on mould and lichen
  • Dwell time observed
  • Plants wet down first
  • Delicate areas protected

The wash

  • Low pressure on painted surfaces
  • Surface cleaner on concrete
  • Even passes, no striping
  • Edges and corners by hand
  • Pressure matched to the material

Finish

  • Debris cleared away
  • Paths rinsed off
  • Walkthrough before we pack up
  • Photo report sent to you
  • Anything we found noted

A wash that skips the pre-treatment relies on force alone, which is why the green can come back before the next summer.

How is the job run?

You do not need to be home for most jobs.

Contact us
  1. Step 01

    Tell us the area

    Rough square metres and the surface. Photos help.

  2. Step 02

    Arrival time confirmed

    We confirm when the crew will arrive before the day.

  3. Step 03

    Treat, then wash

    Pre-treatment goes on first, then the wash at the right pressure for each surface.

  4. Step 04

    Walkthrough and report

    We go over it with you before packing up, and our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work.

Why do Brisbane exteriors go green so fast?

Brisbane is warm and wet through summer, and mould, algae and lichen grow on outside surfaces that stay damp.

  • South facing walls stay damp and grow dark growth through the wet season
  • Sunny walls chalk, so the paint is already fragile before anyone points a hose at it
  • Storm season drives grit and leaves across driveways and paths
  • Shaded blocks need it yearly because growth returns fastest where the sun never dries the surface

So the method changes with the surface: pressure on concrete, low pressure and pre-treatment on anything painted or soft.

What sets our pressure cleaning apart?

Four things you get on every job.

Low pressure where it matters

Full pressure on render, paint or timber can strip the coating and fur the grain.

We pre-treat and wash those surfaces at low pressure instead.

Every surface gets checked first

Loose mortar, a cracked coating or a perished seal can turn a clean into a repair bill.

Anything we find gets flagged before we start, with a photo, and you decide what happens next.

Priced by area

Measure the area and you can work out the figure yourself from the table below.

Heavy oil or lichen can move it, and we confirm before we start.

A photo report

Before and after photos are sent to you when we finish.

Useful if you are not home, or if you are preparing a property for sale.

What do Brisbane customers ask before booking?

How much does pressure cleaning in Brisbane cost?

Up to 20 m² is $170, a single driveway of 21 to 40 m² is $240 and 61 to 90 m² is $410, including GST. A single storey house exterior wash starts at $410.

Will high pressure damage my render or paint?

It can. Full pressure lifts paint, pits render and furs timber, which is why we wash those surfaces at low pressure after pre-treating the growth.

Why does the green keep coming back?

Force alone moves growth without treating it, so it returns sooner. Pre-treatment and dwell time are what make the difference.

Do you need water and power?

Yes. We use your outdoor tap and a power point, so please make sure both are working on the day. If either is a problem, tell us when you book.

Do you clean roofs, gutters or solar panels?

Yes. Roof soft washing, gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning are quoted after we see the property, because height, pitch and access set the price. Driveways, paths, patios, decks and single storey walls are priced from the table above.

Do you do commercial pressure cleaning?

Yes. Carparks, hardstand and loading docks, scheduled before opening from 6am or in the evening until 10pm.

How often should I book it?

Yearly on shaded blocks and anywhere under trees, and every two years on open, sunny properties.

What other cleaning do we do in Brisbane?

Most customers book more than one. Same crews, same standards, one invoice.
