How it works
Tell us what needs cleaning
0402 574 596A rough idea of the area and a photo or two help us quote. Let us know if the surface is sealed.
We test a patch first
On soft or sealed surfaces we try a small area first and set the pressure to suit.
Mon to Sat, 8am to 6pm
We clean it
Section by section, the clean surface comes up beside the dirty one, like in this photo.
You walk on it again
The clean surface is safer underfoot, with no slippery moss left on it.
Drag the slider, see the difference
These are two of our own jobs. Drag the divider across each photo to compare the surface before and after we cleaned it.
Moss off the path
Shaded side paths grow moss that gets slick when it's wet. Cleaning it off makes the path safer to walk on.
The colour comes back
Pavers and bricks go dark under years of dirt. Underneath, they're usually still the colour you chose.
One less weekend job
No hiring a machine, no learning to use it, no hours bent over your driveway.
What we clean
Outdoor hard surfaces that have gone green, black or grimy:
- concrete and exposed aggregate driveways
- paths and side passages
- brick, concrete and stone pavers
- patios, outdoor tiles and pool surrounds
- garden and retaining walls
We use a commercial pressure washer, with a rotary surface cleaner for driveways, paths and paving. If you're not sure whether your surface is a job for us, send a photo with your quote request. We don't do house washing or soft washing.
Can pressure cleaning damage your surface?
It can, when it's done badly, and that's the part we're careful about. A pressure washer is strong enough to cut into a surface as well as clean it, and the usual damage looks like this:
- Stripes and swirl marks on concrete, from a narrow jet held too close or moved unevenly
- Etching on softer surfaces, such as sandstone and some older concrete
- Empty joints between pavers, where the jointing sand gets blasted out
- Lifted sealer on sealed driveways and pavers
Paver maker Western Interlock's advice is to keep the pressure moderate, use the widest spray available and test a few pavers first. That's how we work: the pressure set to the surface, a rotary surface cleaner on flat areas (the round machine in our photo above) for an even finish with no stripes, and a test patch first on soft or sealed surfaces.
After cleaning, paver joints sometimes need topping up with sand. If your pavers or driveway are sealed, tell us when you ask for a quote.
Homes, strata and commercial sites
For homes, that might be the driveway before you sell, a path that's turned green over winter, or the paving around an outdoor area before summer.
We also clean for businesses and strata: shared paths, entries and the paved areas customers walk across every day. Call us on 0402 574 596 to talk about the site and a time that suits.
Gutters first, then the paths
If your gutters need doing too, book both together. We'll vacuum the gutters before we clean below them, so nothing washes back down onto a clean path.
Windows while we're there
If the outside of the house needs a freshen-up, we clean windows too: inside and out, flyscreens included.
What pressure cleaning costs
Pressure cleaning is quoted for each job. The size of the area, the surface, how dirty it is and how easy it is to get to all change the work involved.

Frequently asked questions
Outdoor hard surfaces: concrete and exposed aggregate driveways, paths, brick, concrete and stone pavers, patios and outdoor tiles, pool surrounds, and garden and retaining walls. We don't wash houses.
Not when it's done properly. Too much pressure, or a narrow jet held too close, can etch concrete, mark softer stone and blow the sand out of paver joints. We set the pressure to suit the surface, use a rotary surface cleaner on flat areas for an even finish, and try a small patch first on anything soft or sealed.
Yes. We pressure clean for businesses and strata as well as homes. Call 0402 574 596 to talk through the area and when we can get in.
Every pressure cleaning job is quoted, because the size of the area, the surface and how dirty it is all change the work. Quotes are free.
Yes. Tell us you'd like both when you book and we'll plan the visit around them. Clearing the gutters first means the runoff isn't washing fresh debris back across a path you've just had cleaned.
Yes. We hold $20 million public liability insurance, and our team has 7+ years' experience.
