Why pressure clean?

Outdoor surfaces collect dirt, moss, algae and oil, especially through Melbourne's damp winters. Paths and driveways turn green and slippery, and shopfronts start to look tired.

Pressure cleaning uses a high-pressure stream of water to lift that grime out of the surface. On flat areas we use a rotary surface cleaner, which gives an even finish without the stripes a hand wand can leave.

Not every surface should get full pressure. Timber, render and painted surfaces need a lighter touch, so we check first.

  • Moss, algae and grime lifted
  • An even finish on flat areas
  • Less slippery paths

Surfaces we pressure clean

We choose the pressure, nozzle and cleaner for each surface.

  • Concrete driveways and paths

    Tough surfaces that take full pressure, cleaned evenly with a surface cleaner.

  • Pavers

    Cleaned without blasting out the joint sand. We'll tell you if re-sanding is needed afterwards.

  • Timber decks

    Lower pressure so the timber doesn't splinter or mark. Some decks suit a soft wash instead.

  • Brick and render

    Render and painted walls get a gentle wash; brick can take more.

  • Pool surrounds

    Slippery algae and sunscreen build-up cleaned from tiles and pavers.

  • Shopfronts and car parks

    Entrances, footpaths, bin areas and loading bays for businesses.

What comes off, and what might not

Most grime comes off with the right pressure. Some marks are in the surface itself.

Usually comes off

  • Dirt and grime
  • Moss and algae
  • Mould on paths
  • Bird droppings
  • Spider webs
  • Chewing gum
  • Fresh oil spots

May fade, not disappear

  • Old oil stains
  • Rust marks
  • Tyre marks in concrete
  • Paint
  • Fertiliser stains
  • White salt marks (efflorescence)

Before we come: Move cars, bins and pot plants off the area, close nearby windows, and let us know about any loose pavers or fragile plants.

Pressure cleaning, explained

How we match the method to the surface, and what to expect on the day.

01

What pressure cleaning does

A pressure cleaner forces water out at high pressure to lift dirt, moss, algae and grime from hard surfaces. On flat areas like driveways, a rotary surface cleaner spreads the pressure evenly and avoids the stripes a hand wand can leave. Oily or greasy areas may need a detergent first to break the oil down.

02

Inspect first, then choose the pressure

Concrete can take full pressure, but pavers can lose their joint sand, render and paint can be stripped, and timber can splinter. So we look at the surface first and choose the pressure, nozzle and distance to suit it. Softer surfaces get a gentler, lower-pressure wash.

03

What affects the price

Pressure cleaning is usually priced by area and surface: a single driveway is quicker than a large paved courtyard with steps, edges and walls. Heavy moss, oil stains and tricky access add time. A path, patio or single driveway is usually $150–$300 including GST. Tell us what needs cleaning and roughly how big it is, and you'll get a clear price before we start.

04

Water and power

Pressure cleaning uses a lot of water, so we need an outdoor tap, and a power point for the machine. We'll check access and parking when we quote.

05

How often to pressure clean

Most homes pressure clean driveways and paths every one to two years, and shaded, damp areas that grow moss more often. Shopfronts, entries and bin areas at businesses often need it every few months to stay tidy and safe underfoot.

06

After the clean

Surfaces look darker while they're wet, so judge the result once they're dry. Pavers may need their joint sand topped up, and some owners choose to seal concrete or pavers afterwards to keep them cleaner for longer. We'll point out anything we notice, like loose pavers or cracks.

Can pressure cleaning damage my driveway?

Not when the pressure suits the surface. We check the surface first and use a surface cleaner on flat areas for an even result.

Will it remove oil stains?

Fresh oil often comes up well. Old oil that has soaked into concrete usually fades rather than disappears.

Do you pressure clean timber decks?

Yes, with lower pressure so the timber doesn't get damaged. Some decks are better with a soft wash instead, and we'll tell you if so.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. We need access to the area and an outdoor tap. We'll confirm the details when we quote.

How long does a driveway take?

Most home driveways take a few hours, depending on the size and how dirty it is.

Can you clean shopfronts and car parks regularly?

Yes. Many businesses book pressure cleaning every few months. Tell us how often you'd like it at the quote.

How much does pressure cleaning cost?

We price the whole job, not per hour. A small or medium area, like a path, patio or single driveway, is usually $150–$300, and larger areas like double driveways and courtyards start from $300, including GST. Your exact price depends on the surface, how dirty it is and access. We confirm it before any work starts, and the quote is free.
