Commercial high pressure cleaning

Pressure cleaning is for the jobs a broom will never fix: chewing gum on a footpath, oil in a loading bay, grime on a forecourt, mould on an awning. The skill is not the pressure — it is knowing how much pressure a surface can take before you damage it.

In short

Commercial high pressure cleaning uses pressurised water — often heated, with a rotary surface cleaner — to remove gum, oil, grime and mould from footpaths, forecourts, loading docks and awnings. The skill is matching pressure to substrate: old pavers and soft render need far less than a new slab. Wombat Sweepers has cleaned commercial surfaces across South East Queensland since 2003.

High pressure cleaning

What the service covers

Scope is set at the site walk, so you are quoted for what is actually there rather than a template.

Footpaths and forecourts

Gum, drink spills, grime and traffic film off concrete, pavers and tiles.

Loading docks and bin areas

Oil, grease and the smells that generate complaints.

Driveways, ramps and entries

The visible approach to a building, cleaned without stripping the surface.

Awnings, walls and shade structures

Mould, dust and salt film taken back at a pressure the substrate can handle.

High pressure cleaning

Machines we use

The machine is matched to the surface and the clearance — sending the wrong one wastes everybody’s morning.

Rotary surface cleaners

Even coverage on flat concrete with no zebra striping or wand marks.

Hot water and detergent

What actually shifts oil and grease — pressure alone just spreads it.

Handheld lances

Corners, steps, kerbs and detail work around furniture and fittings.

How the job runs

Four steps, every time, whether it is a one-off or a five-year contract.

Surface check

We identify the substrate and its condition first. Old pavers and soft render need a different approach to a new slab.

Contain and protect

Water is directed away from drains where required, and adjacent surfaces protected.

Clean in sections

Worked in overlapping passes so there is no line where we stopped.

Rinse and inspect

Rinsed down and walked with you, so anything that will not come out is identified on the spot.

High pressure cleaning — common questions

Something else? Call 1300 387 713 and talk to someone who runs the machines.

Will pressure cleaning damage my concrete or pavers?

Not if the pressure is matched to the surface. Old pavers, soft render and lightly bonded concrete need less pressure and a surface cleaner rather than a narrow lance — which is exactly where the damage usually comes from.

Can you remove oil stains completely?

We can remove most of it, usually all of the surface staining. Oil that has soaked deep into porous concrete leaves a shadow, and we will tell you before we start rather than after.

Do you handle the waste water?

Where the site or council requires it, yes — water is contained and directed away from stormwater rather than straight into a gully pit.

Is pressure cleaning better than sweeping?

It is not better, it is different. Sweeping is for loose material across a large area; pressure cleaning is for what is stuck to a smaller area. Most sites need both.
