In Sydney, high-pressure cleaning services typically range from $150 to $500, depending on the size of the area, surface type, and level of grime or stains. Driveways, patios, and large outdoor areas may incur higher costs, especially if there’s significant mold or oil stain buildup. Request a free quote for an accurate price tailored to your property.

High-pressure cleaning is ideal for hard surfaces like driveways, patios, decks, exterior walls, fences, roofs, and concrete pathways. Professionals adjust pressure levels to suit the surface, ensuring delicate materials (like timber or painted surfaces) are cleaned safely using lower pressure or soft washing methods.

Before you start pressure cleaning, follow these safety tips:

• Start with a small, hidden spot to test pressure.
• Clean from top to bottom to avoid re-soiling cleaned areas.
• Be cautious with sensitive materials like wood or old paint.
• Watch for electric cords or obstacles to avoid accidents.
  
  

The duration depends on the area size, dirt level, and equipment. Small areas may take 1–2 hours, while larger jobs (like full home exteriors or commercial spaces) could take up to a full day. Professional cleaners in Sydney use high-efficiency equipment to minimize time and maximize results.

A standard pressure washer uses 2 to 4 gallons per minute (GPM), equaling about 120 to 240 gallons per hour — roughly 2 to 3 bathtubs worth of water. Despite the high pressure, this method is more water-efficient than traditional hose cleaning due to its speed and effectiveness.

Most Sydney properties should be pressure cleaned once a year to maintain a clean, damage-free exterior. Regular cleaning extends the life of surfaces like siding, driveways, and fences, and keeps your home looking fresh. High-traffic or coastal areas may require more frequent cleaning.
