The cheapest upgrade you can buy.
There is no other improvement that changes how a property looks for this little money. A stained, green-tinged driveway and a black-filmed fence make an otherwise good house look neglected, and a clean one makes it look cared for. Most owners put it off for years — it's the last thing they think of and the first thing a buyer sees.

Pressure Washing — Brisbane & South East Queensland (SEQ)
Same day to 2 daysWhy pressure washing pays for itself
The money side
This is the lowest-cost line item on the pre-sale list and one of the most visible. The case is hard to argue with:
- It's usually the smallest spend on the whole pre-sale list, and it's visible in the same photos buyers see first.
- A clean driveway, path and front fence removes the 'how long has this been left?' reaction that makes buyers assume the whole house has been.
- It's often a same-day or next-day job, so it's the last easy win before your photographer arrives.
- Bundled with an exterior repaint it saves money — clean surfaces are what paint actually sticks to.
The protection side
The grime you can see is also the grime that damages. Dirt, mould and lichen hold water against your surfaces year-round.
- Algae and mould sit wet against concrete and slowly etch it — what looks like staining is the surface starting to break down.
- Timber decking and fencing that stays damp is the timber that rots, splinters and needs replacing early.
- Washed walls and eaves make the damage visible: cracks, rust staining, and the mud tunnels termites leave behind.
- Using the right pressure and a soft wash on painted and timber surfaces cleans them without blowing the paint or the grain off.
Every job includes
What you actually get
- Driveways, paths, pavers and exposed aggregate
- Decking, fencing and pergolas — soft-washed, not blasted
- Exterior walls, eaves and the outside of guttering
- Mould, algae and lichen treatment, not just a rinse
- Correct pressure and nozzle for each surface so nothing gets etched
- Drains and gullies cleared as we work down the property
- Before and after photos so you can see exactly what changed
How it works
Four steps, zero surprises
1
We look at the surfaces
Concrete, pavers, timber and paint all need different treatment. Getting that wrong is how a wash ends up damaging something.
2
Fixed price, before we start
You get the number for the whole property — driveway, paths, walls and fencing — not a per-metre surprise.
3
Wash, treat, rinse through
Clean, then treat the mould and algae so it doesn't come straight back, then rinse and clear the drains.
4
Before and after
We photograph both so you can see the difference, and so you've got proof for the agent's prep list.
Questions people ask us
Can pressure washing damage my surfaces?
Yes, if the pressure or nozzle angle is wrong. Etched concrete, ripped paint edges and splintered decking are all common. We use a soft wash on painted and timber surfaces and test an inconspicuous spot first.
Will the driveway stay clean?
It'll stay clean far longer if the mould and algae roots are treated rather than just blown off. We treat as part of the job, which is why it doesn't come back within weeks.
Do you do it with an exterior repaint?
That's the usual order — wash the house and the driveway first, let everything dry, then paint. Doing them together usually saves you money on both.
