Why us here

Local knowledge, local crew

We work Westbrook 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

Black Vertosol (cracking clay)

Black Vertosol · red Ferrosol on rises

Black cracking clay here. It does not stain concrete the way red soil does, but it holds moisture at the base of walls and along the shaded side of a slab, and that is where the mould starts.

Out here the blocks are bigger, a lot of the drives are gravel, and the westerlies carry paddock and road dust across everything. Sheds, tanks and machinery aprons matter as much as the house.

Westbrook sits about 10.5km southwest of the Toowoomba CBD on the Gore Highway, and it is one of the fastest-growing parts of the region — roughly 2,300 people in 2006, about 4,400 by 2021. It is a big locality too, over 60 square kilometres, running from newer estates out to acreage, with Bunkers Hill rising to 631m in the north. Much of the housing is recent render and Colorbond, which is a different job from a thirty-year-old roof: less lichen bonded into the surface, more dust and surface film.

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 Westbrook: 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.

Also in Westbrook: concrete cleaning and sealing. Worth a read before you book: why Toowoomba houses go green, soft wash or pressure wash, and what exterior cleaning costs.

Common questions

Local questions

  • Do you charge extra to come out to Westbrook? 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.
