High Pressure Washing
High Pressure Cleaner in Perth for Homes and Businesses
Looking for a high pressure cleaner in Perth? BG Solutions cleans driveways, paving, patios, pool surrounds, walls and commercial hardstand using commercial-grade pressure equipment and surface cleaners. We match the pressure to the surface, remove stains a hose can’t shift, and leave an even, streak-free finish. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation. It’s part of our full range of pressure washing services in Perth.
Hiring a pressure washer from a hardware store looks cheap until you’ve spent a Saturday on it, used half a day’s water, and ended up with stripes across the driveway. A professional clean is faster, more even and much less likely to damage your surfaces.

What a Professional High Pressure Clean Actually Involves
High pressure cleaning is more than pointing a wand at the ground. The machine matters, but so do the nozzle, the distance, the water flow, the cleaning solution and the way the water is moved across the surface.
Our process uses a commercial pressure unit with far more water flow than a domestic machine. More flow means dirt is carried away instead of pushed around. For flat areas like driveways and patios, we use a rotary surface cleaner. It spins two jets under a hood at a fixed height, so the whole surface gets the same treatment and you don’t end up with the zebra stripes that hand-held wands leave behind.
Edges, steps, corners and walls are then detailed by hand. Stubborn stains like oil, rust or mould are pre-treated before the main clean, because pressure alone often won’t lift them. Finally, everything is rinsed down so dirt and solution don’t dry back onto the surface or wash into your garden beds.

Surfaces We Clean
Concrete driveways. Plain, coloured, stencilled and exposed aggregate driveways cleaned of tyre marks, oil, mould and built-up grime. See our concrete driveway cleaning page for more detail.
Brick paving and pavers. Perth homes are full of clay and concrete pavers. We clean them, lift weeds and dirt from the joints, and can advise on re-sanding afterwards.
Patios, alfresco areas and pool surrounds. These areas get food spills, sunscreen, leaf stains and slippery algae. We make them clean and safe to walk on again.
Limestone. Limestone is soft and porous, so it needs a lower pressure and the right technique. Done properly, it comes up bright without being chewed up.
Walls and retaining walls. Brick, block and limestone retaining walls cleaned of dirt, mould and rust stains. Learn more about our brick and retaining wall cleaning.
Commercial hardstand. Car parks, loading bays, footpaths, forecourts and bin areas cleaned for safety and presentation through our commercial hardstand cleaning service.
The Stains Perth Properties Deal With
Every city has dirt. Perth has a few problems that are very much its own.
Bore water rust:- Many Perth homes use bore water for reticulation, and the iron in it leaves orange marks on walls, paving, fences and driveways. The WA Government notes that bore water rust stains from garden bores are common in Perth. These stains need a rust treatment before pressure washing. In most cases they fade dramatically. Very old, deep stains may leave a faint shadow, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
Oil and grease:- Cars leak, and Perth heat bakes oil into concrete. We pre-treat oil stains with a degreaser so the pressure clean can lift as much as possible. Fresh stains come out best; years-old stains usually lighten a lot.
Mould, algae and lichen:- Shaded paths, south-facing walls and areas under trees turn black or green over winter. Besides looking bad, algae makes paving slippery. We clean it off and can apply a treatment to slow regrowth.
Leaf tannin stains:- Leaves sitting on paving and limestone release brown tannins. These usually respond well to a pre-treatment and a careful clean.
Tyre marks:- Turning on a driveway on a hot day leaves black marks that build up over time. High pressure with a surface cleaner removes most of them.
Why Not Just Do It Yourself?
You can. But here’s what usually happens. A domestic machine has low water flow, so the job takes three or four times longer. The wand is held at different distances, so the result is patchy and striped. Stains like oil and rust stay because they need pre-treatment, not just pressure. And it’s easy to etch soft surfaces like limestone or old pavers, or to blast sand out of the joints and leave your paving loose.
A professional clean costs more than a hire machine, but you get a better result in a fraction of the time, with less risk of damage, and without giving up your weekend.
Safe for Your Property
We’re careful with the things around the surface we’re cleaning. Windows, doors and vents are checked before we start. Gardens and pot plants are rinsed or protected. We don’t point high pressure at render, painted surfaces, seals or window frames. Where a surface is delicate, we switch to a soft wash method with low pressure and a cleaning solution instead.
We also check where the water will run. Dirty water and debris are rinsed away from entrances and off paths so you’re not left with a muddy mess at the bottom of the driveway.
How Often Should You Pressure Clean?
For most Perth homes, once every 12 to 18 months keeps driveways, paths and patios looking good. Properties near the coast, under big trees, or with heavy car traffic may need it every year. Commercial sites with lots of foot traffic often book every three to six months, or monthly for high-traffic entrances and bin areas.
A regular clean is also easier and cheaper than a heavy clean every few years, because stains don’t get the chance to set deep.

FAQ"s
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the size of the area, the surface type, the stains and access. A standard double driveway is a very different job to a large commercial car park. Send us photos and rough measurements and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Good concrete handles high pressure well. Damage happens when the nozzle is too close or the pressure is wrong for the surface. We use surface cleaners and adjust pressure to avoid etching.
We usually connect to an outdoor tap on site. If there’s no water access, let us know when you book.
Fresh oil stains often come out fully. Old stains that have soaked into the concrete usually lighten a lot but may leave a faint mark. We’ll tell you what to expect after seeing the stain.
Ask us when you book. A clean surface is the best time to seal, and sealing helps keep stains and mould from coming back as quickly.
Most residential driveways take two to four hours, depending on size and condition.
