Why us here

Local knowledge, local crew

We work Kearneys Spring regularly, so a quote rarely means a long wait. What matters most is method: concrete, pavers and brickwork take pressure cleaning; render, paint, weatherboard and Colorbond take soft washing, where the treatment kills mould and lichen at the root rather than blasting the surface off. Roofs get a soft wash by default, or a controlled high-pressure surface clean where the roof suits it. Firm price before we start, photos when it is done.

TopWash is a family-owned pressure cleaning and exterior cleaning business based in Highfields, covering Toowoomba and surrounds. If the walls are the main problem, see how our house washing works. For the rest of the property there is roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, window cleaning and solar panel cleaning, with starting prices on our Toowoomba pressure cleaning prices page. Looking after units or a business? See strata and body corporate cleaning and commercial pressure cleaning.

The ground your place sits on

Red Ferrosol (free-draining)

Red Ferrosol · black clay near West Creek

Red Ferrosol here: fine iron-rich clay that soaks into bare concrete instead of sitting on top, which is why hosing a stained driveway does nothing. Lifting it needs a surface cleaner; sealing afterwards stops it going back in.

This is the high southern end of the city — coldest, dampest, longest dew. Exactly the climate mould, algae and lichen want.

Kearneys Spring sits among the highest ground in the city, and the West Creek wetlands run right through it, splitting the suburb east from west. Homes backing that corridor hold damp longer after dew or rain, and the shaded south and east walls along it green up first. The suburb takes its name from the dairying family whose springs once fed Toowoomba's water supply through wooden pipes.

Through the year

Season by season here

Spring
  • Clear gutters and downpipes before storm season
  • Best window of the year for a house wash
  • Pollen and gum blossom onto roofs, panels and patios
Summer
  • Peak growth season for mould and algae on shaded walls
  • Storm debris in gutters and valleys
  • Solar output is highest, so panel soiling costs most now
Autumn
  • Leaf drop fills gutters — the most important clean of the year
  • Ideal roof cleaning weather: mild, dry, stable
  • Driveways and paths before the damp sets in
Winter
  • Long dew, little sun — shaded southern walls go green fastest
  • Moss on paths and steps becomes a real slip hazard
  • Quietest season, so the easiest time to book

What the walls and concrete are telling you

Signs your place is due

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.

What we do here

Most often in Kearneys Spring: roof cleaning, exterior house washing, soft washing. Also gutter cleaning, driveway and path cleaning, window cleaning. Book several in one visit — cheaper, and the order matters: roof, gutters, walls, then windows.

Common questions

Local questions

  • Do you charge extra to come out to Kearneys Spring? No. No travel surcharge within roughly 35km of Toowoomba — distance is already in the quote.
  • Will pressure cleaning damage my walls or roof? Used carelessly, yes. Render, paint, weatherboard and Colorbond walls get soft washed at about garden-hose pressure. Roofs get a soft wash by default, or a high-pressure surface cleaner with careful pressure control where the roof suits it — never a hand-held lance. Full pressure is for concrete and pavers.
  • How long until it looks clean? Walls and concrete look right the same day. A soft-washed roof is different: the wash kills the lichen on the day, but the dead crust weathers off over the following weeks.
  • Are you insured? $20 million public liability, Working at Heights certified, police-checked crew and a documented SWMS, signed by every worker and reviewed annually. Certificates of currency on request.

What our Kearneys Spring customers say

★★★★★

I cannot speak highly enough of Ben and the team at Topwash Exterior Cleaning Toowoomba. We recently had Ben out to tackle a fairly massive job at our property, which included a full clean of the roof, washing down the entire exterior of the house, and giving our solar panels a thorough scrub. Over time, the dirt, grime, and weather had really taken a toll on the outside of the house, but Ben managed to make the place look practically brand new again. Knowing how important it is to keep a home solar setup running efficiently, I was especially impressed by the care he took to ensure the panels were completely spotless and ready to catch maximum sun. Beyond the outstanding results, Ben was incredibly professional, punctual, and hardworking from the moment he arrived. It is great to see a local Toowoomba business delivering such high-quality service. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and will definitely be using Topwash again in the future. A very well-deserved 5 stars!
