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
Surface type
Concrete driveways and paths in Perth ($160–$420) are the most common. Decking, paving, rendered walls, and brick all have different pressures and methods needed to avoid damage.
Area size
Larger areas get a better rate per sqm in Perth. A small courtyard is proportionally more expensive per sqm than a large driveway or commercial car park.
Degree of soiling
Light mould and algae on a recently built surface clean quickly. Years of embedded grime, tyre marks, and extensive biological growth in Perth take much longer and may require chemical pre-treatment.
Chemical treatment
Some surfaces benefit from hot water or chemical pre-treatment for mould, algae, or rust stains. This adds cost but produces better results for heavily soiled Perth properties.
Access & obstacles
Cars need moving, furniture relocating, and drains protecting. Tight spaces and upstairs balconies in Perth take longer to set up and access safely.
Roof cleaning
Roof pressure washing in Perth ($315–$1,375) requires specialist equipment and training — incorrect pressure on terracotta or concrete tiles causes damage. Always use a specialist for roofs.
