How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Brisbane? (2026 Price Guide)
A clear, no-surprises breakdown of pressure washing and soft washing prices in Brisbane — house washing, roofs, driveways, gutters and more.
“How much does it cost?” is the first thing everyone asks — and most websites dodge it. We won’t. Here’s a realistic 2026 guide to what exterior cleaning costs in Brisbane, what drives the price, and how to avoid the cheap quotes that cost more later.
Typical Brisbane prices
Every property is different, but here’s where most jobs land:
| Service | Typical starting price |
|---|---|
| House washing / soft washing | from $400 |
| Roof cleaning (soft wash) | from $500 |
| Driveway & concrete cleaning | from $200 |
| Window cleaning | from $200 |
| Gutter cleaning | from $200 |
| Solar panel cleaning | from $250 |
| Deck & fence washing | from $250 |
These are starting points — a single-storey townhouse driveway and a double-storey Queenslander roof are very different jobs.
What actually drives the price
- Size & surface area — more square metres, more time and product.
- Height & access — double-storey, steep roofs and tight access take longer and may need rope access or elevated equipment.
- How dirty it is — heavy lichen, oil stains or years of grime need more treatment.
- Surface type — delicate render and roofs need soft washing (chemistry + care), not a quick blast.
- Combination jobs — bundling house + driveway + windows is usually cheaper per service than booking separately.
Why the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest
A $150 “house wash” is almost always a quick high-pressure blast. On render or a roof, that can force water behind cladding or strip the tile glaze — turning a $400 soft wash into a four-figure repair. Things worth paying for:
- Insurance — make sure they carry real public liability (we carry $20M, including height work). If an uninsured operator damages your home or is injured on it, you can be liable.
- The right method — soft washing for delicate surfaces, not just pressure. (See pressure washing vs soft washing.)
- Surface assessment & protection — plants covered, surfaces checked before they start.
