Hot-water pressure cleaning for driveways, paths, patios and other hard surfaces that have built up years of grime, algae and stains.
We pressure clean driveways, brick paving, timber decking, pool surrounds, fences, garage floors and car parks. The machines are commercial hot-water units, so a large car park is as doable as a single-car driveway. Softer materials like timber and older pavers get a lower setting.
We check the surface and what's on it before anything gets turned on. A biodegradable degreaser goes on first, then we clean with hot water at up to 4,000 PSI, which gets dirt, algae, lichen and oil out of porous concrete. Runoff is managed to meet council rules.
Outdoor surfaces in Queensland grow mould and algae much faster than they would somewhere cooler and drier. Wet algae around a pool or on a sloping driveway is a slip waiting to happen. Cleaning every 12 to 18 months keeps surfaces safe and stops organic growth slowly breaking down the surface.
Serving all Gold Coast suburbs.

A biodegradable degreaser or treatment goes on first and is left to work.

Every 12 to 18 months for most Queensland driveways. Areas under big trees or with heavy traffic usually need it sooner.
Not when done by trained professionals. We select the correct pressure for each surface type, softer materials receive a lower-pressure approach, hard concrete can handle the full industrial treatment.
We use biodegradable, eco-friendly pre and post treatment solutions where needed. All chemicals are safe for pets, plants and waterways once diluted. We protect garden beds before and after every job.
A single-car driveway typically takes 1-2 hours. A double driveway with surrounding paving takes 2-3 hours. We provide a specific time estimate in every quote.
Yes. Our hot-water pressure washer combined with a specialist degreaser is highly effective on oil and grease stains. Very old, deep-set stains may improve significantly rather than disappear completely.
We quote driveways per job because the size, the surface and the staining vary so much. Plain concrete with general grime is quicker than exposed aggregate with oil stains and heavy mould. Send us the rough size, the surface type and a photo of any stains and we will come back with a fixed price.
Paths, the front entry, alfresco areas and pool surrounds can go on the same quote. Adding them to one visit costs less than booking them separately.

Call 1300 22 44 15 or fill in the quote form on any page. On business days we reply within two hours with a fixed price, or with a couple of questions if we need a photo first. Once you accept, we lock in a day, and you don't need to be home as long as we can reach an outside tap.
To speed things up, tell us the suburb, the number of storeys, what the walls are made of, and anything else you want done while we're there (driveway, roof, gutters, windows). A photo of the worst area helps.
Ask how they will clean each surface, not just what they charge. A good operator soft washes render, paint, cladding and roofs and saves high pressure for concrete and pavers. Check they hold public liability insurance and can show a certificate of currency, that the quote is a fixed price, and that they have real reviews and before and after photos of their own work.
For the record: we carry $20M public liability and can send the certificate with the quote, every quote is fixed, and the photos in our gallery are from our own jobs. Our Google reviews are linked in the footer.
Read more: Soft washing vs pressure washing
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI with our hot-water machines) and is for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, brick paving and pool surrounds. Soft washing uses about garden-hose pressure plus a biodegradable solution that kills mould, algae and lichen at the root, and it's what we use on render, paint, weatherboard, cladding and roofs. Most houses need both: a soft wash for the walls and roof, and pressure cleaning for the driveway and paths.
Soft-washed walls stay clean longer because the growth is dead, not just knocked off the surface. We work out the method for each surface when we quote, so you don't have to pick. More detail on the house washing and pressure washing pages.

Yes. Timber decking and fences are on our list, but timber is soft, so we use a much lower setting than we would on concrete. The aim is to lift the grime and grey growth without furring up the grain.
If you plan to oil or stain the deck afterwards, let it dry completely first.
Carefully, and with the pressure set for the surface. Exposed aggregate needs enough pressure to clean between the stones without loosening them. Stamped, stencilled and coloured concrete get a lower setting so the pattern and colour aren't etched.
Yes. Car parks, hardstands, loading areas, footpaths and garage floors are all hard surfaces our hot-water machines handle well, including oil and grease. For busy sites we work early, late or on weekends, and we manage runoff to meet council requirements.
Yes. Concrete, brick and block retaining walls get a pre-treatment and a pressure clean matched to the material. Painted or rendered walls get a soft wash instead, the same as a house wall.
The slippery layer is almost always algae. We treat it with a biodegradable solution and then clean the pavers or tiles with the pressure set for the surface, which removes the growth rather than just the top layer. Surfaces are noticeably less slippery straight away.
Pool fencing glass can go on the same visit through our window cleaning service. More on this in cleaning pavers, patios and pool surrounds.

Give it a few days if you can. Surfaces are usually walkable within an hour or two of a pressure clean, but it's better to give them a full day to dry before the furniture goes back. That also leaves time to fix anything you want touched up.

We use professional-grade biodegradable cleaning solutions. On walls and roofs they are applied at low pressure and left to kill the growth before rinsing. On concrete and pavers a biodegradable pre-treatment goes on first, then hot-water pressure cleaning. Once diluted they are safe for plants, pets and waterways, and we pre-water garden beds on every job.
Read more: Why mould keeps coming back
Shade keeps concrete and pavers damp, and algae and mould love damp. We kill the growth with a pre-treatment, pressure clean it out of the surface and rinse. In heavily shaded spots it will come back sooner than in full sun, so these areas usually need cleaning every 12 months or so.

We use biodegradable cleaning agents on every job, pre-water and protect gardens, and manage runoff to meet council environmental rules. On solar panels and windows we use purified water with no chemicals at all.
Yes. Pressure cleaning, pressure washing and high-pressure cleaning all mean cleaning a surface with a powerful jet of water. In Queensland most people say pressure cleaning. What matters more is the pressure and water temperature used on each surface, which is why we hot-water pressure clean concrete and soft wash roofs, render and paint.
