Everything you need to know

Most residential jobs start from $300. The final price depends on the surface type, size, condition and the level of soiling. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — call or text 0477 011 418 or fill in the form at the bottom of this page.

Yes. Quotes are completely free and come with no obligation. We respond within 24 hours and aim to give you a clear, accurate price upfront — no vague estimates that change on the day.

Access difficulty, property size and storey height are all factored into the quote before you commit. There are no surprise charges added on the day — the price we quote is the price you pay.

Yes. We work with strata managers, body corporates and businesses on scheduled maintenance programs — quarterly, biannual or annual — with agreed pricing. Get in touch to discuss what would suit your property.

Call or text 0477 011 418, email info@brophyspressurewashing.com.au, or fill in the quote form on this page. We respond within 24 hours with a price and available times.

Yes. We don't give vague windows like "sometime between 8am and 12pm." We confirm a fixed start time and show up when we say we will.

Not always — it depends on the job and whether access to a tap or gate is needed. We'll confirm this when we book. For most external jobs, we can work without you needing to be present the whole time.

We walk through the results with you before we pack up. If anything isn't right, we fix it on the spot. Our satisfaction promise is simple — we don't leave until you're happy. If a problem comes to light after we've left, get in touch and we'll come back and make it right.

Yes. We remove debris and leave the area tidy before we go. For gutter cleaning, this means all leaves and silt are removed from the property — not left on the ground below.

Yes. Brophy's carries $10M public liability insurance on every job. Certificates of currency are available on request — commercial clients and strata managers can ask for one before work commences.

Yes. We hold a White Card (General Construction Induction), Working at Heights certification, and First Aid certification. These are required for most commercial and strata sites in Victoria and mean we can be put on site without hesitation.

Yes, once the surface has dried. During the clean we use high-pressure water which is obviously not safe to be near — we ask that children and pets be kept away from the work area while we're operating. Once we're done and the surface has dried, it's completely safe.

Not when it's done correctly. The risk comes from using the wrong pressure or technique for a given surface. We adjust the pressure, nozzle and method for each surface type — exposed aggregate, pavers, timber, render and tiles all require different approaches, and we know the difference.

Driveways (concrete, pavers, exposed aggregate, asphalt), house exteriors (render, weatherboard, brick), roofs (concrete tile, terracotta, Colorbond), solar panels, decks and patios, gutters, windows, and commercial surfaces including car parks, warehouses and building exteriors.

Yes, though oil and grease stains require a different pre-treatment to organic growth like moss and algae. We apply a targeted degreaser treatment before pressure washing — this breaks down the oil so it can be properly removed rather than just spread around.

Yes — concrete tiles, terracotta tiles and Colorbond. Each material requires a different method. Terracotta and some older tile systems need soft washing rather than pressure, and we assess before starting every time. See our roof cleaning page for more detail.

Soft washing uses low pressure combined with a targeted pre-treatment to clean surfaces that can't tolerate high-pressure water — terracotta tiles, older render, and some types of cladding. The pre-treatment does the heavy lifting, so less pressure is needed to achieve a thorough result without damaging the surface.

Both, though they're separate services. Internal gutter cleaning removes debris and includes downpipe flushing to confirm flow. External gutter cleaning pressure washes the outside face of gutters and downpipes to remove grime and streaking. They can be booked together or individually. See our gutter cleaning page for details.

Yes. Soiled panels can lose 15–25% of their energy output due to dust, pollen, bird droppings and grime blocking sunlight from reaching the cells. A professional clean restores that lost generation. See our solar panel cleaning page for more.

We use a deionised (DI) water system with soft brushes and low-pressure rinsing. DI water contains no dissolved minerals, so it leaves no residue or streaking when it dries — the glass is genuinely spotless. We never use abrasive tools or high pressure that could scratch the panel surface or damage the anti-reflective coating.

No — as long as the cleaning method is appropriate. We use soft brushes, low pressure and DI water, which is consistent with the cleaning method recommended by most panel manufacturers. We never use abrasive tools or harsh chemicals.

We service suburbs right across Melbourne including Kew, Hawthorn, Toorak, Camberwell, Malvern, St Kilda, Richmond, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Doncaster, Northcote, Ivanhoe, Elwood, Balwyn, Glen Iris, South Yarra, Heidelberg and Collingwood — and many more. If you're not sure whether we cover your suburb, just ask.

For larger commercial jobs we're flexible. Get in touch with your location and the scope of the work and we'll let you know whether we can help.
