When your job needs a soft wash instead

Anything painted or rendered

Pressure strips coatings. Walls, render and cladding go through our soft wash instead.

Roof tiles and sheeting

Force cracks tile and drives water under the laps. Roofs get a soft wash, never a blast.

Old mortar and soft brick

Pressure blows the joints out. So we drop it right down and let the chemistry do the work.

Amelia Street, McKinnon

Concrete driveway cleaning on Amelia Street, McKinnon. The slab had ingrained dirt and established moss growth, treated with a cleaning solution and cleaned with a surface cleaner.\n\nThe chemical treatment broke down the growth before pressure cleaning, and the surface cleaner attachment gave an even finish across the whole driveway.

Millswyn Street, South Yarra

A concrete clean in South Yarra that started with a drainage problem: water was not leaving the site, so the surface could not be cleaned properly until the drain was cleared.

Why we get let onto the good paving

A pressure washer in the wrong hands pits concrete and blows the mortar out of brickwork. Here's what stands behind the crew that turns up.

Insured

Public liability cover of $20M, and we'll send the certificate before the booking if you want it.

Pressure matched to the surface

Same machine, different tip, different distance. That's the whole craft of pressure washing, and concrete takes what pavers won't.

Melbourne local

Founded here in 2023. Not a franchise, and not a lead agency passing your job to whoever answers first.

Photos on every job

Before-and-after shots land in your WhatsApp the same day, so you can check the result yourself.

Pressure cleaning questions we get asked

Will pressure cleaning damage my pavers or concrete?+

Not at the right setting. Damage comes from holding a narrow tip too close — it pits concrete and washes the jointing sand straight out of paving. We match tip and distance to the surface, and test a corner first.

Do you reseal the driveway once it's clean?+

No. Sealing is a separate trade with its own products and warranties, and we don't offer it. We clean the surface, then tell you honestly whether it looks like a candidate for sealing.

How do you price a pressure cleaning job?+

On area and how bad it is, not by the hour. A path is cheaper than a driveway. And a driveway that's never been done takes longer than one we cleaned last year, so send photos and we'll quote.

Can you get old oil stains out completely?+

Sometimes. Fresh oil usually lifts. Old oil that's soaked into porous concrete often fades rather than disappears — and we'll tell you that before you book, not after.

Do you do commercial car parks and basements?+

Yes. Commercial pressure cleaning Melbourne wide, from shared driveways to basement slabs, runs on the same method with industrial gear, quoted on area after a look at access.

Pressure is a tool, not a setting

The machine matters less than the tip and the distance. A wide fan at arm's length lifts traffic film off concrete without touching the surface underneath. The same machine, narrow tip, held close, will etch a permanent stripe into that concrete in about a second. Most of the damage people blame on pressure cleaning is really damage from one careless pass.

What moss in paving joints actually means

Green between pavers is a drainage sign, not a dirt sign. Water's sitting there long enough for growth to take hold, usually because the joints have silted up or the fall has flattened out. Cleaning it off works. But it comes back on the same timetable unless the water starts moving off the surface again.

Where hard surfaces sit in the running order

Paving and driveways go last. Every job above them — roof, gutters, walls, glass — sends dirt down to ground level, so cleaning the driveway first just means cleaning it twice. Booking more than one surface on the property? Put the hard ground at the end of the running order and it only gets done once.

How pressure washing rates are worked out

Pressure cleaning Melbourne wide is quoted on area, not by the hour, and you should be wary of anyone charging hourly. Rates come off area, access and how long the surface has been left. A tap and a driveway you can back onto keeps it cheap. Carry-in gear, no water on site, or fifteen years of traffic film, and the same square metres cost more.
