Lockyer Valley & Range
Exterior cleaning in Gatton, by a local crew who know what this ground and this weather do to a building. Warmer and flatter down off the range, but market-garden dust in the dry and silt after a wet season both end up on your walls. $20 million public liability, Working at Heights certified, police-checked crew and a signed SWMS on every site.
Why us here
We work Gatton regularly, so a quote rarely means a long wait. What matters most is method: concrete, pavers and brickwork take pressure cleaning; render, paint, weatherboard, Colorbond and roofs take soft washing, where the treatment kills mould and lichen at the root rather than blasting the surface off. Firm price before we start, photos when it is done.
Local conditions here
Black Dermosol (levee) · black Vertosol (flood plain)
Deep river-flat soil here, fine enough to travel. Dust in a dry spell, silt after a wet season. Neither is hard to remove, but both come back, so regular beats one-off.

Gatton is a Lockyer Valley town on fertile alluvial farming country — residential lots through to larger rural and rural-residential blocks.
Gatton sits at just 89m on the Lockyer Valley floor — a full 600m below Toowoomba — in country rated among the most fertile farming districts in the world. The valley grows around 40% of South East Queensland's fresh vegetables, earning its Australia's Salad Bowl title, and UQ's Gatton campus has been teaching agriculture here for over a century.
Through the year
What the walls and concrete are telling you
Green or black film on the south and east walls is mould, not dirt — it needs a treatment, not a blast. Grey-green crust on the roof is lichen, bonded into the tile. Water spilling over a gutter edge is going into the fascia. A driveway that has changed colour is this ground at work. Streaky glass is mineral film. A solar array quietly making less than it used to is usually just soiled.
Most often in Gatton: exterior house washing, shed and Colorbond cleaning, driveway and path cleaning. Also solar panel cleaning, exterior water tank cleaning, gutter cleaning. Book several in one visit — cheaper, and the order matters: roof, gutters, walls, then windows.
