Power Washing

Professional Power Washing in the Northern Beaches

Power washing and pressure cleaning are the same job under two names. We blast built-up dirt, oil, mould and black weathering off hard surfaces using hot or cold water at the right pressure for the material.

It is the quickest, most cost-effective way to lift the look of a property, whether you are getting ready to sell, hosting, or just sick of looking at a grimy driveway.

Around the Northern Beaches, driveways and paths spend half the year under trees, and the result is black weathering, slippery algae and the tannin marks left by wet leaves. It builds so slowly that most people forget what the surface actually looked like, until we clean a test strip and the original colour appears.

We pre-treat the growth first, power wash with a wide surface cleaner for an even finish, then rinse the whole area down. Expect the surface to come up close to how it was laid, and expect us to walk the finished job with you, so anything not right gets re-done before we leave.

How it works

How We Pressure Clean

The same careful process on every job, so the result is right every time.

1

Wet down the surrounds

We wet down the surrounding areas, plants and gardens first, so everything around the job is protected before we start.

2

Pre-treat the growth

We pre-wash the surface with our algae and growth killer, so the mould and lichen are killed at the root, not just blasted off the top.

3

Pressure clean to the surface

We clean with the right pressure for the surface, high where it suits and gentler where it does not, for an even finish without damage.

4

Post-wash

We post-wash to flush away the lifted grime and any leftover residue, leaving a clean, consistent result.

5

Final walk-around

We do a final clean and walk the whole job with you, making sure everything is perfect before we pack up.

Good to know

Power Washing FAQs

Is power washing the same as pressure cleaning?

Yes. The terms are used interchangeably in Australia. We use professional power washing equipment and adjust the pressure to suit each surface.

What does power washing cost?

Every job is priced on its size and condition, with a free, no-obligation quote up front and no surprises at the end.

Is hot water power washing better than cold?

It depends on the job. Hot water helps with greasy and oily grime, while cold water at the right pressure handles mould, algae and general weathering perfectly well. We bring the setup that suits your surfaces, so you do not need to choose, and the result is the same either way: a deep, even clean.

Can power washing remove the black layer on my driveway?

Yes, in almost every case. That black layer is a mix of algae, mould and weathered grime, not the concrete itself changing colour. We pre-treat it so the growth dies at the root, then power wash it away evenly. If any staining has soaked in permanently, we tell you honestly before we start.

How long do the results last?

Most driveways and paths stay looking good for 12 to 18 months. Shaded areas and surfaces under trees regrow faster, especially through a wet winter. Because we treat the growth rather than just stripping the surface, the clean generally holds a lot longer than a DIY blast.

Do you need my power as well as water?

Just water. Our machines are petrol powered, so we only need access to a working outside tap. That also means we can clean areas where there is no power point handy, like front fences, kerbs and street-facing walls.

Do I need to be home while you work?

Not for most exterior jobs. As long as we can reach the tap and the areas being cleaned, we can do the job while you are out and send you photos when it is done. Plenty of our customers book it that way. If you are home, we will walk the finished job with you before we leave.

Can you do several areas in the one visit?

Yes, and it is the smart way to book. Once we are set up, adding the path, patio or pool surround to a driveway clean is straightforward, and one visit covering everything is better value than separate bookings. Tell us everything you want looked at and we will quote it as one job.

Does rain affect a power washing booking?

Only heavy rain. A drizzle makes no difference because the surface is wet during cleaning anyway. If a storm or downpour is forecast we will contact you before the day and rebook for the next clear slot, at no cost and with no fuss.
