Pressure Cleaning Prices Melbourne — 2026 Cost Guide
Pressure Cleaning Prices Melbourne — 2026 Cost Guide
One of the most common questions we get is “how much does pressure cleaning cost?” The honest answer is that it depends on what you need cleaned, how big the area is, and how dirty it is. But we know that is not helpful when you are trying to budget, so here is a straightforward guide to pressure cleaning prices across Melbourne in 2026.
These are real-world prices based on what we charge our residential and commercial clients. Every job is quoted individually, but this gives you a solid idea of what to expect.
Residential Pressure Cleaning Prices
| Service | Typical Price Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Single driveway (~30m²) | $250 – $400 | Hot water pressure clean, oil stain treatment, final rinse |
| Double driveway (~60m²) | $400 – $650 | Full pressure clean, pre-treatment for stains |
| Large driveway + paths (~100m²) | $600 – $900 | Driveway, paths, and garden edges |
| Full house wash (single storey) | $400 – $700 | Walls, eaves, fascia, downpipes |
| Full house wash (double storey) | $700 – $1,200 | Includes upper-level access |
| Roof clean (single storey, tiles) | $600 – $1,000 | Mould/lichen treatment + pressure clean |
| Roof clean (double storey) | $1,000 – $1,800 | Includes ridge capping and valleys |
| Deck clean (up to 30m²) | $250 – $400 | Timber or composite, includes edges |
| Fence wash (per lineal metre) | $8 – $15/LM | Timber, Colorbond, or brick |
| Pool surround | $300 – $500 | Concrete, pavers, or natural stone |
| Full property package | $800 – $1,500 | Driveway + paths + house wash |
Note: Prices vary based on surface material, contamination level, access, and location. Exposed aggregate and natural stone typically cost more than plain concrete due to the care required.

| Warehouse floor (per m²) | $1.50 – $4/m² | Depends on contamination |

What Affects the Price?
Not all pressure cleaning jobs are created equal. Here are the main factors that influence pricing:
Size — The biggest factor. More square metres equals more time, water, and fuel. We measure in square metres for accurate quoting.
Surface material — Concrete is straightforward. Exposed aggregate, natural stone, timber, and painted surfaces require more care and slower work, which increases the price.
Contamination level — A driveway that gets cleaned every year is quick work. One that has not been touched in five years with heavy oil staining and mould growth takes significantly longer.
Access — Ground-level work is cheapest. Multi-storey facades requiring elevated work platforms or scaffolding add significant cost. Underground car parks with limited access and ventilation take longer.
Location — We are based in Notting Hill. Jobs in the south east, east, and bayside suburbs are most efficient for us. Outer suburbs and regional areas may attract a travel charge.
Timing — Standard business-hours work is our base rate. After-hours, overnight, and weekend work may carry a surcharge depending on the job.
Additional services — Gum removal, graffiti removal, anti-graffiti coatings, drain cleaning, and re-sanding pavers are all additional services quoted separately.
Hot Water vs Cold Water — Why It Matters for Price
We use hot water pressure cleaning systems on most jobs. Hot water at 80°C costs more to run than cold water, but it delivers dramatically better results:
- Oil and grease — Hot water breaks the molecular bond. Cold water just pushes it around.
- Mould and algae — Hot water kills organic growth on contact. Cold water removes visible growth but leaves spores alive.
- Efficiency — Hot water cleans faster, which often offsets the higher running cost.
We use cold water for delicate surfaces like softwood timber and some painted finishes where heat could cause damage.
How We Quote

- We assess — For simple residential jobs, we can often quote from photos. For commercial and larger jobs, we do a free on-site inspection.
- Fixed price quote — Every quote is a fixed price, not an hourly rate. You know exactly what you are paying before we start.
- No hidden extras — The price we quote is the price you pay, including GST.
Why Cheapest Is Not Always Best
Melbourne has plenty of operators with a ute and a cold water pressure washer from Bunnings. They will quote half what we do. Here is what you miss:
- No hot water capability (cold water leaves oil stains and mould)
- No commercial-grade equipment (domestic units lack pressure and flow)
- No insurance (if they damage your property, you are on your own)
- No training or experience with different surface types
- No water reclamation or environmental compliance
We are not the cheapest pressure cleaners in Melbourne. We are the most effective. Our hot water systems, trained operators, and proper insurance mean the job is done right the first time.
