How much does pressure washing cost in Perth?
Driveways are what Perth searches for most when it comes to pressure cleaning, and a standard driveway costs $160–$420 here, typically $260. A paved patio or deck is $160–$470, pool surrounds $160–$400, and washing down the outside of a single-storey house $260–$735. Operators who charge by time ask $42–$105 an hour. Perth paving spends its summers under dust and its winters under rain, so the price follows three things: how much ground there is, how deep the staining goes and whether a chemical treatment has to go on before the water. Prices quoted include GST.

Pressure washing in Perth costs $42–$105 an hour, typically $68, when the job is quoted by time. A standard driveway wash runs $160–$420, a full house exterior wash $260–$735, pool surrounds or paving $160–$400, and a roof clean on a standard home $315–$1,375. These match the Perth price table above.
Area and surface set the price. Concrete and pavers take a high-pressure surface cleaner and go quickly; a rendered or painted wall needs low-pressure soft washing so the coating survives, which is slower and sits toward the high end. Oil stains, moss and black mould on a shaded driveway need pre-treatment before the wash, and a sealed surface needs resealing afterwards, which is a separate line. Water supply matters too: a job run from a tank or a low-pressure tap takes longer than one off mains.
Pick the driveway row for a driveway pressure clean or a large paved area, and the hourly rate for a mixed job of paths, walls and a deck where the surfaces change. A whole-house wash before painting or a sale is the row most owners want, and the driveway cleaning row is the one to price on its own when the rest of the house is fine. Get quotes that say whether pre-treatment, mould treatment and sealing are included.

Driveway pressure cleaning cost in Perth (2026): driveways, patios and pavers
Driveway pressure cleaning in Perth costs $160–$420 for a standard driveway, with $260 typical. A patio or deck is $160–$470 and pool surrounds or paved areas $160–$400. Perth's limestone and brick pavers, exposed aggregate and liquid limestone each take a different pressure, so the surface sets the price as much as the size.
| Job | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full house exterior wash (single storey) | $260 | $440 | $735 |
| Mould treatment & wash (full exterior) | $315 | $580 | $945 |
| Driveway cleaning (standard) | $160 | $260 | $420 |
| Deck / patio cleaning | $160 | $295 | $470 |
| Pool surrounds / paving | $160 | $295 | $400 |
| Concrete path / footpath | $105 | $145 | $230 |
| Roof cleaning (standard home) | $315 | $735 | $1,375 |
Paver pressure cleaning in Perth: pavers are washed at lower pressure than concrete so the sand joints and the surface are not blasted out, which takes longer; that is why paved driveways and pool surrounds ($160–$400) can cost more than a plain concrete driveway ($160–$420) of the same size. Re-sanding the joints and sealing afterwards are separate services.
What moves a pressure washing quote in Perth:
- Area: driveways, paths and patios are priced on their size; the standard driveway band is a single-car to double-car driveway.
- Storeys: a two-storey house exterior takes longer and needs extension poles or a lift, so it sits above the single-storey band.
- Surface: pavers, exposed aggregate and rendered walls need lower pressure and more time than plain concrete.
- Growth: heavy mould, lichen or black algae needs a treatment before the wash, which is the mould-treatment line above.
- Water and access: a site without a tap or with no side access adds time.
Perth quotes should state the surface (concrete, aggregate, pavers, liquid limestone), the area and whether sealing is included.

What Affects Pressure Washing Costs in Perth
Big blocks, lots of paving
Separate houses are 77.8% of Perth dwellings, above the 72.3% national share, and 45.7% have four or more bedrooms (ABS 2021 Census). That adds up to wide driveways, paved alfresco areas and long side paths, so ask for one price covering the lot. Area brings the rate per square metre down, and a path or footpath added to a driveway job costs less than its stand-alone price of $105–$230.
Winter mould, summer dust
July is the wettest month at Perth Metro, averaging 147.0 mm, with June and August not far behind, while December averages only 9.6 mm (BOM averages). Shaded pavers and south-facing walls go green over the wet months, then bake under dust and tyre marks through summer. A full mould treatment and wash is $315–$945, and an inhibitor to slow regrowth adds $52–$160.
Bore water stains
Perth garden bores run on the same two-day watering roster as scheme sprinklers, and reticulation fed from a bore can leave orange-brown marks on walls, fences and paving. Those stains are mineral, not dirt, and plain high pressure seldom shifts them, so they need a specific chemical treatment. A single brick, block or rendered wall is $125–$315; say there is bore staining when you ask for a price.
Cleaning before a sale
Pre-sale pressure cleaning is a common Perth search, and 41.9% of households here are paying off a mortgage, above 35% nationally (ABS 2021 Census). A pre-sale package usually pairs the driveway with an exterior wash, $470–$1,150 for a two-storey home. Driveway sealing is a separate job with its own price, so if you want it, ask for it as its own line.
Render, paint and soft washing
A high-pressure lance can strip paint, gouge render and blow out old mortar. For painted, rendered or weathered surfaces, operators switch to soft washing, a low-pressure clean with a detergent that does the work; the walls and eaves of a single-storey house cost $315–$680. Expect it to take a little longer than blasting, and ask which product will be used near gardens and lawns.
Roofs and fences
Roof cleaning is $315–$1,375 for a standard home and needs height-safety gear and a gentle touch, because the wrong pressure can crack tiles or strip their coating. Fences are priced by the running metre, $5–$19 for one side, so a long back boundary adds up faster than you might expect.
How to Save Money on Pressure Washing Cost in Perth
Pressure Washing Cost in Perth by Job Size
Say a Perth block has a paved driveway, an alfresco patio and a paved pool surround. The rows are $160–$420 for the driveway, $160–$470 for the patio and $160–$400 for the paving, and the three together come to $480–$1,290.
What moves that total in Perth is the surface. Each of pavers, exposed aggregate and liquid limestone calls for its own pressure, bore staining needs its own treatment, and a second storey takes the house wash from $260–$735 to $470–$1,150 when the wash is part of a pre-sale clean.
Pressure Washing Cost in Perth: What the Quote Should Include
A Perth quote needs the surface named before it needs a price: limestone pavers, brick pavers, exposed aggregate and liquid limestone are each washed at a different pressure, and bore staining or joint re-sanding can sit outside the wash. Wide driveways and paved alfresco areas make a long list.
- Each surface named by type, whether concrete, aggregate, pavers or liquid limestone, with its area, so the pressure planned for each is clear.
- The paver driveway and patio on their own lines at $160–$420 and $160–$470, with the pressure and the care taken over sand joints stated.
- Re-sanding of paver joints and any sealing priced as separate lines, not assumed to be part of the clean.
- Rust-coloured bore staining on walls, fences or paving identified before the quote, with its chemical treatment written as its own line.
- Winter mould on shaded pavers and south-facing walls handled under a line at $315–$945, with an inhibitor add-on at $52–$160.
- Soft wash named for painted or rendered walls, including the product to be used near gardens and lawns.
- A combined price for the driveway, side paths and alfresco area, each still shown as a line, with a path on its own read against $105–$230.
- For a pre-sale clean, the exterior wash and driveway on one quote, with the storeys stated as $260–$735 for single or $470–$1,150 for double.
- Long back boundary fences measured in running metres, one side, against $5–$19 a metre, then the start date, GST and insurance cover.
