Why it matters

More than a cosmetic clean

Melbourne's climate — wet winters, humid summers, heavy tree cover in many suburbs — creates ideal conditions for mould, algae and pollution to build up on home exteriors year-round.

Restore your home's appearance instantly
Years of pollution, mould and grime dull the colour of brickwork, render and cladding. A professional wash restores the original look — often dramatically so — in a single visit.
Prevent long-term surface damage
Mould, algae and lichen are acidic. Left unchecked, they eat into render, mortar joints and paintwork. Regular cleaning stops deterioration before expensive repairs become necessary.
Improve air quality around your home
Mould and algae spores on exterior walls can affect air quality near windows and doors. Removing them at the source reduces the load on your home's interior environment.
Add value before sale or rental
A clean exterior is one of the highest-ROI pre-sale improvements you can make. First impressions drive buyer and renter decisions — and a freshly washed home photographs beautifully.
The right technique matters

Soft washing vs pressure washing — we know the difference

Using the wrong technique on the wrong surface causes damage. We assess every surface before we start and choose the correct method every time.

Soft wash

Low pressure + specialist detergent

Soft washing uses gentle water pressure combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions to break down mould, algae, lichen and pollution at a molecular level — without any physical force that could damage the surface.

Used on: Render · Hebel · Painted weatherboard · Timber weatherboard · Fibre cement (e.g. Hardiplank) · Eaves & fascias · Any painted surface
Pressure wash

Commercial-grade high pressure

Where the surface can handle it, commercial pressure washing delivers a deeper, faster clean. Our equipment runs at 250 bar — significantly more powerful than hire centre machines — for results that DIY simply can't match.

Used on: Brick · Concrete · Stone · Tile · Colorbond cladding · Pathways & stairs · Garage floors

The difference a professional wash makes

Mould, algae and years of pollution build up gradually — so gradually that many homeowners don't notice until they see a before photo. After one visit from Brophy's, the difference is immediate and significant.

How we work

Our house washing process

Every job follows the same careful process — no shortcuts, no guesswork.

1
Surface assessment
We identify every surface type on your home's exterior — render, brick, weatherboard, cladding — and note any areas of heavy soiling, mould or staining that need targeted treatment.
2
Pre-treatment where needed
Heavy organic growth — black mould, green algae, lichen — gets a specialist pre-treatment before washing. This breaks down the growth at the root and delivers a far better result than pressure alone.
3
Soft wash or pressure wash
We apply the correct technique for each surface. Soft wash for anything painted or rendered, commercial pressure wash for brick, concrete and hardier materials.
4
Rinse, inspect & walk-through
We do a thorough final rinse, inspect the result ourselves, then walk through it with you. We don't pack up until you're completely satisfied.
What customers say
★★★★★

"We had Brophy come to pressure wash our house last week and we were very happy with how clean our driveway and tiles are. He also did the gate for us. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the service."

Common questions

House washing FAQs

Will pressure washing damage my render or weatherboard?
No — we use soft washing on render, Hebel, painted weatherboard and any surface that can't handle high pressure. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialist detergents to safely lift dirt and organic growth without risk of damage. We never use high pressure on surfaces that don't require it.
What surfaces can you clean on a house exterior?
We clean brick, render, Hebel, painted weatherboard, timber weatherboard, Colorbond cladding, fibre cement (e.g. Hardiplank), eaves, fascias and downpipes. Each surface gets the right technique for the best and safest result.
How often should I have my house exterior washed?
Most Melbourne homes benefit from an exterior wash every 12–24 months. Homes with heavy tree cover, south-facing walls, or near the bay may need cleaning more frequently as mould and algae accumulate faster in those conditions.
How much does house washing cost in Melbourne?
Our minimum charge is $300. The final price depends on the size of your home, number of storeys, surface types and level of soiling. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — call or text 0477 011 418 or fill in the form below.
Do I need to be home while you wash the house?
You need to be available to give us access to a water supply and to do the final walk-through with us at the end. You don't need to watch us work — most customers go about their day and check in when we're done.
