Quick answer: Brisbane pressure washing starting prices
House washing starts at $445, roof cleaning starts at $600, and driveway or concrete cleaning starts at $100. Most single-storey Brisbane homes land between $445 and $750 for the house wash, with the tile-roof clean adding $600 to $1,000 and a standard double driveway adding $200 to $400. Double-storey homes and heritage detail scale up from there. Bayside suburbs (Wynnum, Manly, Redland Bay) may run slightly higher because of salt-driven algae load. All prices include GST and what we quote is what you pay.

What drives the price
Property size
We quote by total exterior surface area. A 150m² single-storey home runs at the lower end; a 300m² double-storey home sits at the upper end. Double-storey adds 30 to 50 percent over a comparable single-storey because of ladder/wand setup and the extra time at height.
Surface and detail
Heritage homes with fretwork, valances, and decorative trim take longer per square metre than a modern rendered home. Glass balustrading, copper detail, and feature joinery add detail time. Standard render, brick, and weatherboard run at the typical rate.
Contamination load
Heavy lichen on a roof needs longer dwell time and sometimes two passes. Set-in mould on shaded walls takes longer chemistry contact. Light cosmetic grime cleans quickly in a single pass. We can usually tell from photos which end of the range to quote.
Suburb and access
Suburb is mostly neutral on price. We cover all of Brisbane at the same rate. Bayside suburbs may run slightly higher because of the salt-driven algae load. Difficult access (steep blocks, long driveways without water/power on-site) adds a small surcharge that we disclose upfront.
Pricing FAQ
How much does pressure washing cost in Brisbane?
Pressure washing in Brisbane starts from $445 for house washing, $600 for roof cleaning, and $100 for driveways and concrete. Final price depends on size, surface type, and contamination load. We quote a fixed figure before starting, and what we quote is what you pay.
What drives the price up or down?
Property size (square metres of wall and roof), number of storeys (double-storey adds 30-50%), surface complexity (heritage detail, rendered curves, glass balustrading), and contamination load (heavy lichen or mould needs longer dwell and sometimes two passes). Travel distance plays a minor role at the suburb edges of Brisbane.
Is GST included in your quoted prices?
Yes. Every figure on this page and in any quote we send includes GST. We do not add it as a separate line item. What we quote is what you pay.
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
By the job. We quote a fixed total before starting so you know the full cost upfront. Hourly billing is unusual in pressure washing and we do not use it, because it incentivises slow work, which is the opposite of what a customer wants.
Are there extra charges for difficult access?
Only for genuinely difficult cases: steep harness work on roofs above 30 degrees, very long driveway runs requiring extra hose and a generator, or properties where on-site water or power is unavailable. Standard suburban access is included in the base price. Where there is an access surcharge, we tell you upfront.
What's the cheapest job you'll do?
Driveway and concrete cleaning starts at $100 for small areas, which is the lowest minimum we quote. House washing starts at $445 and roof cleaning at $600 because both involve setup, soft-wash chemistry, and a substantial labour block regardless of property size. We are happy to bundle smaller jobs with a neighbouring booking to keep the total reasonable.
Do you offer a discount for combined services?
Yes. Booking the house wash, roof clean, and driveway together saves on setup and travel time across multiple visits, which we pass on as a small discount on the combined quote. Typical combined-service saving is 5 to 10 percent versus booking each separately.
How do I get an exact price for my property?
Send us your address by SMS, email, or via the contact form, along with a brief description of what you want cleaned. We will return a fixed quote the same day, usually within a few hours. No site visit is required for most quotes. Google Street View covers most Brisbane properties well enough to estimate accurately.
