Power washing for driveways, paths and hard surfaces that have lost their colour to grime and mould. Across Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Power Washing
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.

No shortcuts and no surprise extras. Here is exactly what you get with our power washing.
How it works
The same careful process on every job, so the result is right every time.
We wet down the surrounding areas, plants and gardens first, so everything around the job is protected before we start.
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.
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.
We post-wash to flush away the lifted grime and any leftover residue, leaving a clean, consistent result.
We do a final clean and walk the whole job with you, making sure everything is perfect before we pack up.

Yes. The terms are used interchangeably in Australia. We use professional power washing equipment and adjust the pressure to suit each surface.
Every job is priced on its size and condition, with a free, no-obligation quote up front and no surprises at the end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Couldn't be happier with the work done at our home in Frenchs Forest. Booked them for a full exterior clean including pressure washing the driveway and back patio, a soft wash on the rendered walls, and windows done throughout. The difference is night and day: the driveway looks brand new and the glass is spotless. Professional, takes real pride in the job, and the price was exactly what was quoted.
Oli and his colleague were very thorough and efficient. To be honest they removed some stains I thought would have to be painted over. They were both very polite and cleaned up after they had finished. I would highly recommend them.
The boys did a fantastic job. Our sandstone looks brand new again. Very happy.
Highly recommended! Prompt communication. Oli and the team turned up on time and did a great job of cleaning a very dirty driveway and paved area.
Thank you Pristine Standard for an amazing job transforming our brick work. We couldn't be happier with the job. A very professional and friendly service. Highly recommended.
Oli and his team recently washed our house and paving. It has come up fantastically. We could not be more impressed with the job.
Great job by the guys power cleaning our driveway.
Quick service, good price, thorough, quality.
Our property has plenty of mature trees surrounding the house, porch and patio, so the gutters collect a significant amount of leaf litter. Nick arrived exactly at the agreed time, was professional and friendly throughout, and took before and after photos so we could clearly see the work completed. Their pricing was very competitive and we will definitely be using Pristine Standard again.
I couldn't be happier with the service from Pristine Standard. They were professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. My windows look absolutely spotless. I didn't realise how much brighter my home could feel until they were done. The team was friendly, respectful of my property, and made sure everything was cleaned up perfectly before leaving.
Oliver did a fantastic job cleaning my windows. They have never looked better. They also took the time to remove the mould from the window sills, which had built up after all the recent rain. Professional, thorough, and great attention to detail. I will definitely be having my windows cleaned regularly from now on.
The Pristine Standard team just completed cleaning my second story windows and they look brand new again. The team are professional, polite and have pride in their work. We could not be happier with our clean streak free windows. Highly recommend, and please do support a local business.
What a great job these guys did. Gutters look brand new, eaves are white once more and I can see through the upstairs windows. Get these guys to your place, highly recommend this business.
Ollie did a fantastic job cleaning our windows. Extremely polite, punctual and friendly. Moved our outdoor furniture back into place and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
Couldn't be happier. Windows, screens and tracks sparkling clean. They even took great care in not damaging my bushes and garden outside the windows. The water is demineralised so no streaks occur, leaving them clean longer.
