How much does house washing cost in Brisbane?
House washing prices in Brisbane depend mostly on the size of the home and how many storeys it has. As a rough guide, a compact single-storey Brisbane home usually falls in the low-to-mid hundreds, while a larger double-storey home costs more because of the extra wall area, height and access equipment involved. Our calculator gives you a personalised price range in seconds: trace your home's outline on the satellite map, tell us whether it's single or double storey, and you'll see your estimated range instantly — no phone call, no email required.
The estimate is a genuinely useful starting point, but every property is different. Your final price can shift with the level of dirt, mould and algae, how easy your home is to access, and the type of surface being cleaned. Think of the estimate as a guide, then get in touch for an exact quote tailored to your home. You can read more about our full soft-wash process on the house washing Brisbane page.
What affects house washing prices?
Size of the home
Larger homes have more external wall area, so they take more time, water and labour. A compact single-storey home will almost always cost less than a sprawling two-storey one.
Single or double storey
Multi-storey homes are more complex to clean safely. Extra height, reach and access equipment all add time to the job — which is why the calculator asks about storeys.
Dirt, mould & buildup
Some homes need a light freshen-up; others carry years of mould, algae, cobwebs and grime. Heavier buildup needs more dwell time and a more thorough soft-wash treatment, which we confirm when quoting.
Surface type
Render, weatherboard, brick and cladding each respond differently. Delicate or painted surfaces call for a gentle soft-wash method rather than high pressure.
Access around the property
Easy, open access keeps a job fast. Narrow side paths, steep blocks, fragile landscaping and hard-to-reach sections all add time.
Extra services
Many customers bundle window cleaning, driveway cleaning or patio washing into the same visit — which we discount when booked together.
Roof cleaning cost in Brisbane
Roof cleaning prices in Brisbane are driven by three things: the size of the roof, the roof material, and how high the roof is. For roof cleaning, you trace your roof's footprint on the map. Because a pitched roof has more surface area than the flat footprint suggests, we automatically allow for the slope when we estimate — you don't need to do any maths.
Colorbond, metal and concrete tile roofs sit at the more affordable end, while terracotta tile roofs cost more per square metre because terracotta is fragile and needs a slower, more careful low-pressure treatment, usually with a biocide to kill lichen and moss at the root. Double-storey homes also carry an access surcharge for the extra safety setup and equipment involved in working at height. Learn more on our roof cleaning Brisbane page.
Driveway & concrete cleaning cost in Brisbane
Driveway and pressure cleaning prices depend on the surface material as much as the size. You measure the area directly on the satellite map, pick the material, and we estimate from there:
| Surface material | Why the price differs |
|---|---|
| Concrete | The most common Brisbane driveway surface — cleans efficiently with a rotary surface cleaner. |
| Natural stone & tiles | Sandstone, travertine and outdoor tiles need adjusted pressure and technique to avoid etching or damage. |
| Pavers | The most labour-intensive surface — joints trap dirt and weeds, and the sand between pavers needs careful handling, so pavers sit at the higher end per square metre. |
Heavily stained or mossy surfaces may need a surface cleaner pass plus a post-treatment. See our driveway & concrete cleaning Brisbane page for details, including concrete sealing to keep the surface cleaner for longer.
Why soft washing matters
High pressure isn't always the right tool. Soft washing uses low pressure plus specialised cleaning solutions to safely lift mould, algae and grime from render, painted surfaces, roofs and cladding without forcing water behind sheets or stripping coatings. It also kills organic growth at the source, so your home stays cleaner for longer than a pressure-only blast.
Why online estimates can vary
Online calculators are great for a ballpark, but they can't see every detail of your property. Factors that can move the final number include:
- How dirty the home really is, and whether mould treatment is needed
- How much room there is to move around the property
- Whether surfaces need a gentle soft-wash approach
- The roof's pitch, material and condition
- Whether you'd like extra services included in the same visit
That's why the calculator is a guide, not a fixed final price.
Why professional exterior cleaning is worth it
A proper wash makes a dramatic difference to street appeal. Removing dirt, mould, algae and cobwebs instantly makes a home look newer and better cared for, helps protect painted surfaces and roofing, and keeps everything looking fresh for longer. For many sellers it's one of the cheapest ways to lift a property's presentation before going to market.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to pressure wash a house in Brisbane?
It depends on the size of the home and whether it's single or double storey. The fastest way to find out is to trace your home on the calculator above — you'll get a personalised price range in under a minute, and we can confirm a fixed quote the same day.
Is the calculator price my final quote?
No — it's a guide range based on the area you measure and a few details. We confirm an exact, fixed price once we know the condition, access and surface type, either from photos or a quick on-site look.
Do I have to enter my details to use it?
Not at all. The calculator is completely free to use with no sign-up. You only share your details if you'd like us to confirm a fixed quote.
Why do pavers cost more to clean than concrete?
Paver cleaning is slower and more detailed work. The joints between pavers trap dirt, moss and weeds, the surface is uneven, and the jointing sand needs careful handling so it isn't blasted out. That extra time is why pavers sit at the higher end per square metre compared with a plain concrete driveway.
Why does terracotta roof cleaning cost more?
Terracotta tiles are more fragile than Colorbond or concrete tiles, so they need a slower, lower-pressure soft-wash approach and usually a biocide treatment to kill lichen and moss at the root. The extra care and product is reflected in the price.
Do you offer discounts for booking multiple services?
Yes. When you bundle services such as a house wash with driveway or window cleaning in the same visit, we apply a multi-service discount, which the estimate reflects automatically.
Which areas do you service?
We're based in Mount Gravatt and cover Brisbane's southside and surrounding suburbs. Browse our service areas to see your suburb.
How is the roof area calculated?
You trace the roof footprint on the map, and we automatically allow for the pitch, since a sloped roof has more surface than its flat outline. You don't need to measure the slope yourself.
