Pressure cleaning can be used to clean a variety of surfaces including pavers, concrete, verandahs, paintwork, roofs, brickwork, windows, stairwells and driveways. The major benefit of using pressure cleaning over more traditional cleaning methods is that pressure cleaning uses significantly less water, chemicals and cleaning agents.

Cleaning with a Pressure Cleaner

Pressure cleaning is useful for rejuvenating the look of your home, especially when surfaces such as walls, driveways and roofs have been cleaned of dirt, mould, algae, and other contaminants. Many surfaces can be made to look like new, and this is especially useful if you are considering selling your home or if you’ve just completed a major renovation.

Choosing a Pressure Cleaning Service

Most pressure cleaning jobs should be performed by the professional and not the home handyman, as it is possible to badly damage surfaces by using incorrect cleaning agents or chemicals.

Your professional should use environmentally friendly cleaning agents wherever possible, and where it is not, take care that water does not flow into stormwater drains. They should also aim to use the minimum amount of cleaning agents required to complete the job.

As with any professional, you should obtain a minimum of three quotes before selecting one and ensure that you are comfortable with the person that is performing the work.

How Much Does Pressure Cleaning Cost?

Expect to be quoted on a per square metre basis by pressure cleaning services, with set prices for defined areas. Sealing of pavers will be an additional cost, as will colouring of any surfaces. Expect prices to start as low as $0.33 per square metre to $1.43 per square metre, though these figures will vary according to location and the type of pressure cleaning equipment used.
