Exterior pressure washing in Coorparoo and the southside

Driveways, paths, patios and fences washed back to how they should look, with the right pressure and nozzle for the surface.

What I can help with

Concrete, pavers and timber all pick up grime differently in Brisbane's climate, and blasting everything at full pressure can do more harm than good. I match the pressure and nozzle to what I'm actually cleaning.

  • Driveways and paths
  • Patios, decks and pool surrounds
  • Fences and retaining walls
  • Outdoor furniture and bins
  • Low-level house exterior walls (single-storey, from the ground)

Driveways and paths are the most common request. Brisbane's humidity means mould, algae and tyre marks build up faster than most people expect, and a slippery path is a safety issue as well as an eyesore. If you're getting a place ready for sale or the end of a lease, washing the driveway, paths and patio is one of the quickest ways to lift how it looks from the street. Timber decks and fences get a lower pressure and a wider spray so the grain isn't furred up or gouged.

How I do it

  • I test the pressure on a small, inconspicuous area first, a habit from the lab that carries over well here.
  • The nozzle and pressure are matched to the surface, concrete is not the same as timber or render.
  • Plants, doors and windows are protected before I start.
  • I'm mindful of where the runoff goes, especially near garden beds and drains.

Testing on a small patch first is a habit from the lab, not just common sense. More on that.

Pricing

Driveways and paths are usually a fixed price once I know the size and surface. The price is agreed with you before I start. How pricing works.

Where

I've washed driveways and paths from Coorparoo and Woolloongabba through to Holland Park West and Tarragindi. See the full service area.

Good to know

Painted, soft or older surfaces get a gentler wash rather than full pressure, so nothing gets stripped or etched. Everything is done safely from the ground.
