Brick & Pressure Cleaning Wollongong
Wollongong has some of the best older brickwork on the coast and a lot of it has never been cleaned. The double-brick and solid-brick housing through Mangerton, Keiraville, Figtree, Gwynneville and West Wollongong dates largely from the 1920s through the 1960s, and under sixty or eighty years of escarpment rain and coastal grime the brick is usually in far better shape than owners expect.

On the ground in Wollongong
At the other end of the city there is the CBD and the harbour precinct — apartment facades, precast panels, retail frontages and heritage civic buildings — plus the industrial belt through Port Kembla where carbon and iron oxide deposition is a different problem again.
What makes Wollongong different
Being tucked under the escarpment gives Wollongong noticeably more rainfall and shade than the coastal flat further south. Southern and western elevations, and anything under a tree canopy in the older leafy suburbs, carry heavy lichen and black mould that needs a biocide treatment rather than a blast.

Quick answer
How much does brick cleaning cost in Wollongong?
Brick cleaning in Wollongong is quoted on the elevation area, the brick type and how the wall has been treated previously, rather than a flat rate. A standard new-home clean is a different job to remediating a 1930s solid-brick home under escarpment shade with sixty years of lichen on it. Accredited operators inspect and test first, because the correct chemistry for a cream brick, a charcoal brick and a hand-made brick are three different things.

FAQ
Wollongong — questions we get asked
Can you clean an older double-brick Wollongong home safely?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. Older solid brick often has softer mortar and a fired face that will not tolerate the pressure and acid strength used on modern brick veneer. We test first and drop to a gentler method wherever the wall requires it.
Why is the south side of my house so much worse?
Escarpment shade plus high rainfall plus salt. South and west elevations in Wollongong stay damp far longer after rain, and that is exactly the condition mould, algae and lichen need. Those elevations benefit most from a biocide soft wash rather than a pressure clean.
