Queenslanders, brick homes and modern builds
Brisbane homes range from timber Queenslanders with verandahs and fretwork to post-war brick, 1980s rendered homes and modern townhouses. Timber and old paint need the gentlest approach, rendered walls need low pressure so they are not etched, and face brick can be cleaned firmly without damaging the mortar. We wash each surface on its terms.
Homes near the river, the bay and bushland suburbs like The Gap and Mount Gravatt tend to grow mould faster, so they often benefit from a wash every year.
- Timber weatherboards and verandahs
- Rendered and painted walls
- Face brick and painted brick
- Fibre cement cladding
- Eaves, soffits and fascias
- Townhouse and unit complexes
What affects the price of a house wash
Every home is quoted on its own, based on its size and storeys, the wall types, how much mould and grime has built up, and access around the home. Adding the roof, driveway or decks on the same visit is often better value than booking them separately.
Areas we service
Based in Brisbane, we also look after homes and businesses across South East Queensland.
House Washing FAQs
Is house washing safe for my paint?
Yes. We use low pressure soft washing, not high pressure, so paint and render are not damaged.
How often should I wash my house?
Once a year suits most Brisbane homes. Homes near bushland, the coast or busy roads may benefit from more frequent washing.
Can you wash a two storey home?
Yes. We have the equipment to safely wash single and double storey homes.
Can water get inside through windows or weep holes?
Soft washing uses low pressure, and we take care around window seals, vents and fittings so water is not forced inside.
Do you wash eaves, gutters and fascias?
Yes. A full exterior wash can include eaves, soffits, the outside of gutters, fascias and window frames.
Do I need to move outdoor furniture or pot plants?
It helps to move small items and cushions out of the way. We work around larger furniture and rinse garden beds as we go.
Can house washing prepare walls for repainting?
Yes. Washing removes dirt, mould and chalky residue so new paint has a clean surface to bond to.
Do you wash windows too?
Window frames and sills are washed as part of the exterior clean. Let us know if you need specific window attention when you request a quote.
Can you wash a high set Queenslander?
Yes. We have the equipment to safely wash high set and two storey homes, including verandahs, stairs and the areas underneath.
Is house washing worth doing before selling?
Usually, yes. A clean exterior makes a strong first impression at inspections and looks far better in listing photos.
