Restore Your Home’s Exterior Without Damaging a Thing
If you’ve noticed black streaks creeping down your render, green algae spreading across your weatherboards, or a general dullness that wasn’t there a year ago, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common complaints we hear from Brisbane homeowners, and it’s almost always caused by the same thing: our climate.
Brisbane is a subtropical city of nearly 2.8 million people, built around a river and exposed to over 1,000mm of annual rainfall. That combination of heat, humidity, and moisture creates ideal conditions for mould, algae, and organic growth to form on virtually every exterior surface, render, weatherboard, fibre cement, Colorbond, timber, and tile alike.
Our external house washing service is designed specifically for Brisbane homes and the conditions they face. We use a professional ground-level soft wash system, not a cheap pressure washer from the hardware store, paired with eco-safe cleaning solutions that break down mould at the root.
The result is a clean that lasts 12 to 18 months, not 12 to 18 weeks.
We serve both residential homeowners and commercial property managers across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.

BEFOREDon’t Let Mould and Grime Get Ahead of You
Some jobs are routine maintenance. Others are urgent. If any of the following apply to your property, we recommend booking sooner rather than later.
Selling your home
Brisbane’s property market is active and competitive. First impressions at inspections matter, a clean exterior signals a well-maintained home and can directly influence your sale price and days on market.
Painting or repainting
Applying fresh paint over mould or grime is one of the most common causes of premature paint failure. A professional house wash is essential preparation before any external repaint.
Visible black or green growth
Once mould establishes itself on rendered walls or weatherboards, it spreads rapidly. Early treatment is significantly less expensive than letting it go.
Pre-rental or end-of-lease
Property managers across Brisbane notice exterior condition. A clean property photographs better, attracts better tenants, and passes inspections without issues.
Post-storm residue
Brisbane’s storm season leaves mud, debris, and organic matter on walls and fascias that dries quickly and stains if left untreated.
Common Problems We Fix on Brisbane Properties
Brisbane’s climate is what makes living here so enjoyable, but it’s also what makes mould, algae, and grime an ongoing challenge for homeowners. These are the problems we deal with every single day across the city.
Black mould on rendered walls
Most common on south- and west-facing walls with limited direct sun. Once established, it darkens quickly and spreads to adjacent surfaces.
Green algae on weatherboards and fibre cement
Brisbane’s rainfall and humidity accelerate algae growth on horizontal and low-pitch surfaces. It looks bad and holds moisture against the cladding.
Grimy fascias, soffits, and eaves
These surfaces collect pollution, splash-back, and organic debris. Often the first thing a visitor notices, and the last thing homeowners think to clean.
Dirty driveways and pathways
Oil stains, tyre marks, and moss growth on concrete make a well-maintained home look neglected from the street.
Pool surrounds and fences
Algae growth on pool decking is a slip hazard, not just an eyesore. Fences and retaining walls collect grime and weathering stains over time.
Post-storm residue
Brisbane’s summer storm season regularly deposits mud, bark, and debris across rooflines and walls that bakes on if not removed promptly.

Why You Shouldn’t DIY Your House Wash
We get it, renting a pressure washer from the hardware store looks like an easy fix. But for most Brisbane homes, it creates more problems than it solves.
Render and paint damage
Consumer pressure washers typically run at pressures that will crack or delaminate rendered surfaces and strip acrylic paint coatings. Repairing that damage costs significantly more than a professional wash.
Mould grows back within weeks
Consumer detergents don’t penetrate mould spores at the root level. Without a proper mould treatment solution, you’re cleaning the surface, not solving the problem.
Working at height is dangerous
Cleaning fascias, eaves, and upper-storey walls from a ladder on wet surfaces is one of the most common causes of serious DIY injuries. Our ground-level soft wash system eliminates ladder work for most properties entirely.
Landscaping and surface damage
Wrong chemical concentrations wash into garden beds and kill plants, or etch pavers and leave permanent staining. Our solutions are calibrated to protect your surroundings.
Hiring a trained, insured professional isn’t just about a better result, it’s about protecting your home and your safety.
Our House Washing Process
Here’s exactly what to expect from the moment you contact us to the moment we pack up.
Free quote and assessment
Call or submit a request online. We’ll assess your property size, surface types, and soiling level, and provide a fixed-price quote with no obligation.
Booking confirmation
We lock in your date and give you an arrival window. You don’t need to be home, just ensure gate access is available and let us know of any areas to avoid.
Soft wash
We use ground-level soft wash equipment calibrated to your specific surface type. Pressure, volume, and solution concentration are all adjusted for your home, render, weatherboard, Colorbond, or timber each get treated differently.
Mould treatment and rinse
During the wash, we can apply a mould inhibitor that breaks the mould down at a cellular level, which makes it take around twice as long to regrow. Available as a $70 add-on. All surfaces are rinsed thoroughly, with no chemical residue and no streaking.
Final inspection
We walk the property before leaving. If anything isn’t right, we fix it on the spot. That’s the guarantee.

External House Washing Brisbane: Frequently Asked Questions
Most standard Brisbane homes are quoted between $350 and $750, depending on size, surface type, and the level of mould or soiling. Two-storey homes or properties with heavy growth may be higher. We provide free fixed-price quotes, contact us for an accurate figure based on your specific property.
Most standard homes take 2 to 4 hours from setup to pack-up. Larger properties or those with significant mould coverage may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when confirming your booking.
Pressure washing uses high-force water to blast away dirt, which can crack render, strip paint, and damage weatherboards if used incorrectly. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with specialised cleaning solutions that dissolve mould and grime at the source. We use soft wash for all wall surfaces and reserve pressure washing for hard surfaces like driveways and concrete paths where it’s safe.
When performed correctly with calibrated soft wash equipment, house washing is completely safe for render, acrylic paint, Colorbond, weatherboard, and fibre cement. Our operators are trained to adjust technique to your surface type. We’ve completed thousands of Brisbane jobs without a single surface damage claim.
Every 12 to 18 months is the recommended interval for most Brisbane properties. Homes in shadier areas, near bushland, or in high-rainfall pockets of the city may benefit from an annual clean. Our mould treatment extends time between cleans by significantly slowing regrowth.
No. As long as we have gate access and you’ve flagged any areas to avoid, open windows, sensitive garden beds, new landscaping, we can complete the job without you present. We’ll send before and after photos on completion.
