One trade, every substrate

All Hard Surface Cleaning

Most properties are not one surface. They are brick walls, a concrete driveway, sandstone capping, paved alfresco, a tiled porch, a timber deck and a rendered garage, and each of those wants a different method.

Quick answer

What is hard surface cleaning?

Hard surface cleaning covers the professional cleaning of all non-porous and semi-porous exterior building materials — brick, block, concrete, pavers, natural stone, tile, render, metal cladding and treated timber. The defining skill is matching the method to the substrate: acid chemistry for cured cement on masonry, high pressure with a surface cleaner for sound concrete, and low-pressure soft washing for render, paint, timber and roof tiles.

Why one contractor matters

Bring in a pressure washing outfit and everything on the property gets pressure washed, because that is the tool in the van. The render gets pitted, the sandstone gets cut, the deck gets furred and the roof gets a leak.

Matching the method is the entire job. That means knowing when to reach for acid, when for an alkaline degreaser, when for a biocide, and when the answer is a poultice and patience.

Whole-property cleans

The best value we deliver is a full exterior in one visit — roof, gutters, walls, eaves, windows frames, driveway, paths, alfresco, deck and fencing. Set-up happens once, the whole property lifts together, and there is no obvious line where one contractor stopped.

Pre-sale is the highest-return version of this. A full exterior clean before photography costs a fraction of any other presentation work and changes how a property photographs completely.

FAQ

All Hard Surfaces — questions we get asked

Can you clean everything on one visit?

Usually yes. Whole-property cleans are typically one to two days depending on size and access, sequenced top down so nothing already cleaned gets dirtied again.

How do you decide the method?

Substrate first, then the soiling. The same black growth on render, on a tile roof and on a concrete path is three different jobs. We walk the property and set the approach surface by surface before quoting.
