Servicing Brisbane

Brisbane's mix of humidity, rain and UV exposure affects how quickly building exteriors need washing — something our local teams factor in when recommending a service frequency.

Our Approach

Facade material and condition are assessed before selecting wash pressure and solution, since render, cladding, brick and painted surfaces all respond differently to exterior washing.

Equipment & Process

Commercial pressure washing systems with extended reach for upper sections where access permits, and appropriate cleaning agents for biological growth and staining.

Quality Controls

Facades are inspected section by section for even results, with particular attention to streaking near windows and joints.

Scheduling

Typically scheduled annually or periodically depending on building exposure, location and presentation requirements.

Safety Considerations

Work is carried out following documented safe work procedures, appropriate PPE and, where relevant, exclusion signage and access controls. See our approach to safety for more detail.
