Pressure Washing
Pressure Washing in Cairns
Driveways, paths and exterior surfaces restored to a like-new finish — and cleared of the wet-season algae that doesn’t just look bad, it makes concrete genuinely slippery underfoot.
Wet-Season Algae Is a Safety Issue, Not Just an Eyesore
Algae and mould grow prolifically in Cairns during wet season — and when it establishes on a driveway, path or pool surround, the surface becomes genuinely slippery when wet. It’s a real fall risk, not just a green stain you’d rather not look at.
There’s a second issue most people don’t realise: concrete is porous. Left untreated, algae and moss don’t just sit on the surface — they work into the pores and gradually erode the concrete itself, shortening its lifespan. Regular pressure washing isn’t just cosmetic maintenance, it’s genuinely protecting the surface underneath.
A note on technique: not every surface takes the same pressure. Driveways and concrete can handle higher pressure, but roofs, timber decking and rendered walls need a gentler soft-wash approach to avoid damage. We match the technique to the surface, not the other way around.

Pressure Washing Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should driveways be pressure washed in Cairns?+
Given how quickly algae establishes in wet season, an annual clean is a reasonable minimum, though shaded or consistently damp areas may need it more often to stay ahead of regrowth.
Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces?+
Not at the same pressure. Concrete and pavers can handle higher pressure, while roofs, timber and rendered walls need a gentler soft-wash technique to avoid damage. We match the approach to the surface.
Will the algae just come back after cleaning?+
Algae will eventually return in Cairns’ climate, especially in shaded or damp spots — that’s the tropics, not a failure of the clean. Regular maintenance cleaning keeps it from re-establishing to the point of becoming a slip hazard again.
Can pressure washing be booked with a bond clean?+
Yes — bundling pressure washing with your bond clean means everything’s handled in one visit.
