What does pressure washing cover?
Driveways, paths, patios, decking, paving, walls, car parks and concrete. Surfaces you walk on, park on and look at from the street.
It is not glass. Windows, frames, screens and tracks are a different job with a different method, and that sits on our window cleaning page.
It is not interior work either. House cleaning and office cleaning handle the inside of a property.
Washing algae off an outside wall is not the same job as mould inside a home. For indoor mould, see mould cleaning.
Get a price for your surfaces. Tell us the surface type, a rough area in square metres and what the staining looks like. A fixed quote comes back the same day, or call 0483 982 111.
How often do outdoor surfaces need pressure washing?
Depends less on the calendar and more on how much sun and water the surface gets.
Every six months
For shaded or damp areas, coastal properties, and anywhere under trees. Organic growth comes back faster where the surface never fully dries.
On a schedule
Car parks, entrances, walkways and bin bays on a set cycle, booked from 6am or into the evening so nothing blocks access while you trade.
What do we wash, and how do we approach each surface?
Four surface groups, four different approaches. The quote is built around what you actually have.
Roofs, gutters and solar panels are quoted on their own. Roofs get a soft wash, not full pressure, because terracotta and concrete tiles crack or lose their coating under the wrong pressure. We look at the roof before quoting.

Which surfaces can pressure washing safely clean?
Turning the pressure up is the easiest thing on the job. It is also the most likely thing to cause damage.
- Concrete and clay brick take high pressure well. A strong wash does its best work here.
- Exposed aggregate needs less. Too much and the stones lift out.
- Pavers need care at the joints. Wash too hard and the sand goes, leaving them loose.
- Sandstone and softer stone mark easily, and scouring cannot be undone.
- Render, paint and timber need low pressure. Render chips, paint strips, timber furs up.
Two driveways the same size can be very different jobs. Fifteen years of oil needs a degreaser, a soak and several passes.
Water use and runoff rules differ by state and council, so we work to whatever applies at your address.
What should you check before booking pressure washing?
Four things worth sorting before you compare quotes.
Why concrete driveways come up lighter than owners expect
Concrete is a hard sponge. Years of parking put tyre rubber, oil drips and airborne dirt into the pores, and shaded sections grow slippery algae through a wet winter.
A rotary surface wash lifts that out and brings the slab back towards its original colour. It will not fix cracks or chipped edges, and we say so before starting.
Which oil stains will pressure washing actually remove?
Fresh oil sits near the surface and lifts well with a degreaser. Old oil is different: concrete is porous, and months of summer sun drive it deep into the pores where no safe pressure reaches.
We soak and loosen first, then tell you which marks will clear and which will leave a shadow.
Surfaces that pressure washing can ruin in seconds
Render, paint, timber decking and sandstone all fail under full pressure: it strips paint, gouges soft timber and pits decorative stone. Those surfaces get low pressure and a cleaning solution that does the work instead.
If something on your property cannot take pressure, you hear it before we start.
How pressure washing quotes are worked out
You get a fixed price for the job, settled before anyone starts. It is built from the area, the condition of the surface and the access.
Two identical driveways can be hours apart if one carries ten years of baked-in grease, and tight gates or sloping paths take longer to set up. We check all of it upfront.
High pressure without proper control causes surface damage. The right equipment matches water pressure to the material.
Why do property owners choose Shining Services for pressure washing?

What do our customers say about us?
How is pressure washing priced?
Area, condition and access decide it. Send a photo and the quote comes back fixed rather than estimated.
Driveways, paths and patios
Priced on area and condition. A standard driveway is the most common booking on this page.
House exteriors
Priced on area, storeys and surface type. Render and paint take a lower-pressure approach, which changes the time on site.
Commercial and strata
Priced per visit or on a schedule, for car parks, entrances and shared paths.
Area alone does not set the price. A heavily stained driveway and a lightly dusty one are the same size and very different jobs, so the fixed quote reflects both.
What can you add to a pressure washing job?
Each one is quoted as its own line so you can see what it costs before deciding.
Driveway degreasing
Degreaser applied and left to soak on oil spotting and vehicle marks before the wash.
Weed and moss treatment
Growth cleared out of paving joints and path edges so it takes longer to come back.
Timber deck and fence washing
Boards and palings washed at a pressure the timber can take, without furring the grain.
Bin bay and waste area washdown
For commercial and strata sites. Usually booked early in the morning, before trading starts.
Roof soft washing
Low pressure and a cleaning solution for lichen and grime on tile and metal roofs, assessed before we quote.
Gutter cleaning
Leaves and silt cleared from the gutters and downpipes, best done before storm season.
Solar panel cleaning
Dust, salt and bird droppings washed off the panels gently, never at full pressure.
Window cleaning
Glass, frames and tracks after the exterior wash. Window cleaning →
End of lease outdoor areas
Driveways, patios and paths as part of a property handover. End of lease cleaning →

What do people ask about pressure washing?
How much does pressure washing cost?
It is priced on area and condition. Area is the easy half, and condition does more to the number than square metres do.
Two driveways the same size can be hours apart if one carries years of oil and organic growth. Send a photo with your enquiry and the quote comes back fixed.
Will the old oil stains come out?
Fresh oil usually does. Old oil often does not, because concrete absorbs it and the stain sits below the surface being cleaned.
We apply a degreaser and let it soak before washing, and we tell you which marks are likely to lift before you book rather than after the job.
Can you pressure wash my roof?
Yes, with a soft wash rather than full pressure, because terracotta and concrete tiles crack or lose their coating under the wrong pressure. Tell us the roof material and age and we will say honestly whether it suits a wash.
Roof soft washing, gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning are each quoted after we have seen the roof.
Will high pressure damage my driveway or render?
It can, which is why we match the pressure to the surface. Concrete and clay brick paving take a strong wash. Exposed aggregate, pavers, sandstone, render and paint do not.
If a surface on your property is not suitable for high pressure, we will tell you before we start.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as we can reach the surfaces. You provide an outdoor tap and a power point for our machines, so leave side gates unlocked and the tap accessible.
Move any vehicles off the driveway before we arrive, and let us know if there are garden beds or drains you want protected.
How often should outdoor surfaces be cleaned?
About once a year for most driveways, paths and patios.
Every six months suits shaded or damp areas, coastal properties and anywhere under trees, because organic growth returns faster where the surface never fully dries.
What else do we clean across Australia?
Most customers book more than one. Same crews, same standards, one invoice.
