Pressure cleaning vs house exterior cleaning
What each service covers, which one your home needs, and why many owners book both in one visit.
The short answer
Pressure cleaning is for hard surfaces on the ground: driveways, paths, patios and fences. House exterior cleaning is for the walls and edges of the building itself: walls, eaves, fascia and downpipes.
They use different approaches because a concrete driveway and a painted wall need different handling. Many homes benefit from both.
Pressure cleaning covers
Concrete, pavers and other hard surfaces that collect dirt, moss, algae and tyre marks.
- Driveways and paths
- Patios, alfresco and paved areas
- Garage floors and entries
- Fences and retaining walls
House exterior cleaning covers
The outside of the home itself, where dust, cobwebs and mould build up slowly.
- Exterior walls
- Eaves, fascia and soffits
- Cobwebs and dust on high edges
- Downpipes and outdoor fittings
Which one do you need?
If the first thing you notice is a green or stained driveway, start with pressure cleaning. If the walls look dull, dusty or mouldy, start with exterior cleaning. Selling or hosting? Do both, and add the windows, so the whole front of the house matches.
What to expect when you book
Both are priced by area and surface, so send a few photos or the approximate size and we reply with a fixed quote. Dirt, moss and algae usually lift well. Deep oil or rust stains can be stubborn, and we tell you what is realistic before we start.
