For Toowoomba homes
Roof, gutters, house walls, driveway, windows and solar — the whole property cleaned by one crew in one booking, across Toowoomba and about 35km around it. We quote the job, never an hourly rate. Family-owned, police-checked, and covered by $20 million public liability.
One crew, one booking
The whole property done in one visit, in the order that actually works. Here is what gets cleaned, and why each part happens when it does.
Every kind of home
How often
Toowoomba sits at about 700 metres on the Great Dividing Range. Fog, heavy dew and cool nights mean mould, algae and lichen take hold far faster here than they do in Brisbane. Most of the advice you read online is written for warmer, drier places, so our intervals are genuinely shorter.
Gutters. The Garden City name is earned. Leaf drop here never really stops, and gums shed all year round.
Driveway and paths, windows, solar panels, and a house wash on the shaded elevations. The south and east walls need it long before the sunny sides do.
The roof. Lichen takes years to establish, but once it has a grip on the surface it holds moisture against the tiles. Shaded and south-facing pitches go first.
Pre-sale, before an inspection, or after building work. No obligation to book anything ongoing afterwards.
We will tell you what your house actually needs rather than selling you visits it does not. A shaded, tree-covered block in Highfields is on a shorter cycle than an open block out at Westbrook, and we set the program to match.
The whole property
Clean the windows before the roof and you will clean them twice. Clean the driveway before the gutters and silt off the gutter flush lands on fresh concrete. Panels go last, because everything above them drains across them. A crew doing the whole property gets this right by default. Separate trades on separate days do not.
So the top comes off first. Roof cleaning from $880 and gutter cleaning run together, because the roof flush ends up in the gutters anyway. Then house washing from $495, using soft washing on anything painted, coated or fragile — render, weatherboard, fibro, Colorbond and roof sheets.
Hard surfaces come next. Driveway and path cleaning from $275, concrete cleaning and sealing, and pressure cleaning for pavers, brick and retaining walls. Window cleaning and solar panel cleaning finish it off. Booking several of these in the one visit costs materially less than several separate call-outs, because the crew is already on site and set up.
Why homeowners stay with us
One crew for the whole property. One booking, one set-up, one lot of gear. They learn your place — which downpipe feeds the tank, which wall goes green first, where the dog gets let out. You are not explaining it again to a different trade next week.
We quote the job, never an hourly rate. House washing starts from $495, roof cleaning from $880, and driveway and path cleaning from $275. Photos are usually enough for an accurate price, and you do not need to be home on the day. Request a free quote.
Safe around the garden, the pets and the tank. Beds are pre-wet and rinsed off afterwards, pets stay inside while the walls are treated, and if you collect rainwater we disconnect or divert the downpipes before any roof work begins.
Every crew member is police-checked, Working at Heights certified and holds a White Card, there is a signed SWMS on every site, and we carry $20 million public liability. The paperwork is on the compliance and insurance page if you want to read it before we start.
Annual or half-yearly programs. Nobody has to be the one who notices the house has gone green. We book it in, remind you beforehand and turn up. Call James on 0490 397 740 to set one up.
Selling? Do it in the right order. The driveway and paths come first — they are in every photo and underfoot at every inspection — then the walls and windows. A roof clean has the biggest effect from the street, but dead lichen needs a couple of months to weather off, so book it early or not at all. We cover about 35km around Toowoomba — Highfields, Westbrook, Oakey, Gatton, Cambooya, Hampton, Withcott and the rest are listed under areas we service.
Common questions
No, as long as we can access the areas that need doing. You'll get a reminder the day before so you can unlock gates or move cars, and a message when we're done. Plenty of our clients we've never met in person.
— double what most local operators advertise — and every team member is police-checked. Crews attending childcare, school and care sites also hold current Blue Cards. Certificates available on request.
No. Ongoing service runs on a recurring schedule for convenience, not a lock-in. Pause it over winter, change frequency, or stop — no penalty either way.

That is exactly what this is for. One crew, one quote, one visit window, and the work done in the right order: roof, then gutters, then walls, then driveway and paths, then windows and solar last. Booking these piecemeal means paying several call-outs and frequently having a later job dirty an earlier one.
More than people expect. Cleaning windows before the roof means doing them twice. Cleaning the driveway before the gutters means silt from the gutter flush lands on fresh concrete. Panels go last because everything above them drains across them. A crew doing the whole property gets this right by default; separate trades on separate days do not.
Once a year for the driveway, windows and a house wash on the shaded elevations suits most homes here. Gutters twice a year. Roof every four to six years. Solar annually. Toowoomba's fog, dew and 700 metre elevation mean growth returns faster than it does on the coast, so the intervals are genuinely shorter than generic advice suggests.
Yes, with the right process. Garden beds are pre-wet and rinsed, pets stay inside while walls are being treated, and if you collect roof water we disconnect or divert the downpipes before any roof work and reconnect afterwards. We ask about tank water at quote stage rather than waiting for you to raise it.
Driveway and paths first — they are in every photo and underfoot at every inspection. Then the house walls and windows. A roof clean has the largest visual effect from the street but needs a couple of months for dead lichen to weather off, so book it early or not at all. Tell us your listing date and we will tell you honestly what fits.
Pressure is for hard surfaces: concrete, pavers, brick, retaining walls. Soft washing is for anything painted, coated or fragile: render, weatherboard, fibro, Colorbond and roofs. Most homes need both, on different parts of the same property, which is why using one method for the whole house is how damage happens. More on soft wash versus pressure wash.
It depends on the size of the property, which services you want and how long since it was last done. We quote the job, not an hourly rate, so you get a firm number before we start and that is the number on the invoice. Booking several services together is materially cheaper than booking them one at a time. Call 0490 397 740 or send photos for a free quote.

Oh my goodness!!! Why didn't I do this ages ago? James and his team have made a huge difference to the front of my business and my house! I was worried that pressure cleaning would damage my paint but James's "soft wash" did a beautiful job. Thankyou!
