What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors move a quote up or down within, or sometimes outside, those bands. There is more in our Pakenham pressure washing cost guide.
- Surface area, the bigger the driveway, roof or wall, the higher the total but the lower the per-square-metre rate.
- Contamination level, light dust is quick, heavy oil, lichen or gum needs pre-treatment and dwell time.
- Access and height, double-storey and steep roofs need safety setup that single-storey work does not.
- Surface type, fragile render and tile must be soft washed, which is more careful and slower than blasting concrete.
- Run-off containment, commercial and oily sites need bunding and filtration to stay EPA compliant.
Red flags in cheap quotes
We see the aftermath of these every week. If a quote you have been given includes one of them, ask before you sign. More on this in our how to choose a pressure washer guide.
- High pressure quoted for render or roof tiles, this strips coatings and forces water inside.
- No mention of run-off on an oily driveway or commercial site, an EPA problem waiting to land on you.
- No insurance, one slip on your roof and the claim is yours.
- A price with no site visit or photos for a large or complex job, the number will change.
- Cash-only, no ABN, no written quote, no comeback if it goes wrong.
