Pressure Washing Sydney
What is pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, mould, algae, moss, oil and grime from hard external surfaces such as concrete, brick and paving. Delicate surfaces — render, painted walls, timber and roof tiles — require soft washing instead: low pressure combined with a treatment solution. In Sydney, pressure cleaning typically costs $3.50 to $8 per square metre, or $125 to $185 per hour.
High Pressure vs Soft Washing — Why It Matters
- High pressure belongs on: concrete driveways and paths · brick and blockwork · pavers · garage and warehouse floors · retaining walls · hardstands and car parks
- High pressure will damage: rendered walls · painted surfaces and weatherboard · roof tiles and Colorbond · timber decking · sandstone · exposed aggregate (dislodges the aggregate) · window seals and flashing
- For those surfaces we soft wash — low pressure with a biocide treatment that kills the mould and algae at the root. The visible result appears more slowly, but it lasts substantially longer, because high pressure only strips the surface growth and leaves the spores behind.
- If a quote offers you high pressure on your roof or rendered walls, treat it as a warning sign rather than a bargain. We’d rather explain why we’re using a different method than do the fast thing and leave you with damage.

Water, Runoff and Council Rules
Worth knowing before you book anyone.
Pressure washing water is usually drawn from your tap — confirm any quote assumes that. More importantly, runoff near stormwater drains is regulated in NSW, and some councils and most strata buildings require containment, particularly where detergents or biocides are used.
We use biodegradable solutions as standard and contain runoff where the site requires it. On strata balconies and in commercial car parks near drains, containment isn’t optional. If a contractor doesn’t raise it, they probably aren’t doing it.
Sydney water restrictions can also apply to some external cleaning. We’ll tell you if anything current affects your job.
Pricing of Pressure Washing Sydney
Exterior surfaces suffer constantly from Sydney’s sun, coastal salt air, grease accumulation, algae growth, and tire marks. Heavy-duty pressure washing in Sydney restores driveways, exterior walls, decks, and outdoor paving to look brand new, immediately boosting your property’s overall curb appeal.
High-pressure water blast cleaning rapidly strips away years of stubborn surface weathering, mold spores, and slippery moss buildup. Experienced pressure cleaning operators in Sydney utilize surface-adjusted water pressures to deliver maximum stain removal power without eroding mortar or damaging sensitive exterior coatings.
