What a pressure washing costs in Melbourne
Melbourne's cool, damp climate grows mould, algae and lichen on paths, decking and south-facing walls, so a lot of local jobs are as much about killing and removing organic growth as blasting off dirt — and that chemical treatment and the extra passes lift the cost above a simple dirt-rinse. The city's large pool of cleaning contractors keeps the market competitive on standard driveway and patio jobs.
As with any small-ticket trade, the minimum call-out often governs the price on a modest job rather than the area, so bundling the driveway, paths and house wash into one visit is better value than separate call-outs. Delicate surfaces — Melbourne's period tessellated tiles and painted render — need lower pressure and more care, which costs more, but a plain concrete driveway in a competitive suburb is affordable.
