How Much Does Pressure Cleaning Cost on the Gold Coast?
Our roof cleans start from $1,000, driveways and paths from $400 and gutter cleans from $300, for an average single-storey home. That puts us at the premium end of the Gold Coast market, and below you can see how that compares with the averages other businesses publish, and what the difference pays for.
Average single-storey home. Minimum call-out $300. Every price is confirmed before work starts.
Included at every price
Soft wash on roofs: low pressure and a cleaning solution, so tiles and paint aren't blasted
Gardens, windows, cars and pool protected before the clean starts
Overspray rinsed off walls, windows, fences and paths before we leave
Gutters cleared and flushed after every roof clean
Before and after photos sent to you when the job is done
A roof condition report: if anything on the roof is a concern or needs repairing, you get a written report of what needs doing, with photos
A walk-around with you before payment
Before and after photos, plus a roof report
You get before and after photos of every job. On roof cleans, anything that is a concern or needs repairing (cracked tiles, loose ridge capping, rust, leak points) goes into a written report of what needs to be done.

Our standard
Your home is worth more than a quick blast
Your home is probably the biggest thing you own. A rushed, cheap clean can strip paint, crack tiles, flood the gutters and leave grime splashed up your walls and windows. That's why every job we pass on is done to the same standard, by an insured local operator who agrees to it before they get the work.
The right method for the surface
Soft wash for paint, render and Colorbond. Controlled pressure for tile and concrete. Never blasting a surface that can't take it.
Your property protected first
Gardens rinsed, windows, cars, furniture and pool covered or moved, downpipes blocked so grit doesn't end up in tanks or drains.
Overspray washed down
Splashback is rinsed off walls, windows, fences and paths before packing up, so the clean doesn't leave a new mess somewhere else.
Roof know-how, not just a hose
Roof cleans go to operators with roofing industry experience. While they're up there they check for cracked or slipped tiles, loose ridge capping, rust and leak points, and send you photos of anything that needs fixing.
Gutters cleared after every roof
Everything that comes off a roof lands in the gutters, so they are cleared and flushed as part of every roof clean.
Left cleaner than we found it
Debris bagged and taken away, paths and driveways rinsed, nothing left behind.
A walk-around before payment
Before and after photos, and a walk around the job with you. The price is confirmed before work starts and doesn't change without your say-so.
How that compares with the Gold Coast market
These are averages and ranges other Gold Coast businesses and price guides publish. They are cheaper than ours. The difference is the method, the protection of your property, the clean-up and the walk-around at the end.
Roof area, wall area or driveway square metres. The single biggest factor.
Storeys and pitch
A second storey or a steep roof means more set-up, more safety gear and more time.
How much growth
Lichen takes far longer to lift than surface mould. A roof that has never been cleaned costs more the first time.
Surface
Colorbond and render need a soft wash. Exposed aggregate and pavers need care. Sealed or coloured concrete needs lower pressure.
Access
Tight side access, steep blocks in the hinterland, or apartments with no safe roof access add time.
Bundling
Booking roof, gutters, panels and driveway on one visit is cheaper than booking them separately.
How to get an accurate quote fast
Give the suburb, what needs cleaning, the roof type (tile or Colorbond) and roughly how big it is, plus two or three photos from the ground. With that, most driveway, gutter and house wash jobs can be priced without a visit, and roof jobs can be given a close estimate that is confirmed on site. Do not climb on the roof to take photos.
Because a cheap clean usually means corners cut: too much pressure, no protection for gardens and windows, gutters left full of what came off the roof, and overspray left drying on the walls. Every price includes soft washing, protecting your gardens, rinsing off overspray and before and after photos, by an insured operator, plus a written report if anything on the roof needs repairing.
Usually because of what is included. Check whether the price covers gutters after a roof clean, edging and rinsing on a driveway, and whether the operator carries public liability insurance. A very cheap roof clean can mean too much pressure and too little care.
Most Gold Coast operators quote per job for homes, based on size and condition. Hourly rates are more common for small or open-ended jobs.

Often yes for driveways, gutters and house washes, from photos and the address. Roofs and commercial sites usually get confirmed on site.
