Aust Facility Services provides industrial high-pressure cleaning for commercial and industrial properties across Melbourne. Our service removes built-up grime, oil stains, graffiti, moss, lichen, and biological growth from concrete, pavers, asphalt, brick, render, and tile surfaces. All water runoff is managed in compliance with EPA Victoria stormwater requirements.

What Do We Pressure Clean?

High-pressure cleaning is one of the most effective methods for restoring external surfaces that routine maintenance cannot address. Our equipment operates from 1,000 to 5,000 PSI depending on surface type - higher pressures for concrete and asphalt, lower pressures for pavers, render, and sensitive surfaces. We service:

  • Car parks, multi-deck parking structures, and access ramps
  • Driveways, access roads, and loading dock aprons
  • Pedestrian footpaths, plazas, and public areas
  • Building facades, walls, and columns (brick, concrete, render)
  • Graffiti removal (all surfaces)
  • Bin enclosures and waste storage areas
  • Pool surrounds, sports courts, and hardstands
  • Gutters, downpipes, and roof drainage surrounds

Pressure Settings by Surface Type

Using incorrect pressure is one of the most common causes of surface damage in DIY pressure washing - etching concrete, blasting grout from pavers, or stripping render. Our technicians are trained to assess each surface and select the correct pressure and nozzle type:

  • Exposed aggregate and plain concrete: 2,500–4,000 PSI with degreaser pre-treatment for oil stains
  • Clay and concrete pavers: 1,000–1,500 PSI with fan nozzle (avoid direct-stream damage to grout)
  • Brick facades: 1,200–2,000 PSI depending on brick age and mortar condition
  • Render and painted surfaces: 800–1,200 PSI (low-pressure soft wash with chemical assist to avoid paint damage)
  • Asphalt: 1,000–2,000 PSI - care to avoid dislodging surface aggregate

Graffiti Removal

Graffiti left on a commercial property attracts repeat tagging - research by Councils Australia indicates that graffiti that is removed within 24–48 hours has a significantly lower reoccurrence rate than graffiti left for a week or more. We provide rapid graffiti removal for Melbourne commercial properties using surface-specific chemical agents and pressure washing:

  • Paint-based graffiti: solvent or caustic removal depending on substrate
  • Marker and pen tagging: chemical pre-treatment before pressure wash
  • Anti-graffiti coating application: sacrificial or permanent coatings to ease future removal

We manage water runoff from all pressure cleaning operations in compliance with EPA Victoria's stormwater pollution prevention requirements, using containment equipment where required to prevent oil, grease, and chemical runoff entering drainage systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you manage water runoff responsibly?
Yes. Under EPA Victoria's stormwater pollution prevention requirements, commercial pressure washing operations must prevent oil, grease, chemical, and sediment runoff entering the stormwater system. We use containment equipment (berms, wet vacuum recovery) where required, particularly for car park cleaning and oil-stained areas. Our environmental obligations are governed by our ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification.
Can you remove graffiti?
Yes. We provide graffiti removal from brick, concrete, render, steel, glass, and painted surfaces using appropriate chemical pre-treatments and pressure washing. Results depend on the surface porosity, the type of paint used, and how long the graffiti has been present. We assess the surface before treatment and advise on expected outcome. We can also apply anti-graffiti coatings after removal to make future incidents easier to address.
Can pressure cleaning damage surfaces?
Yes - incorrect pressure can damage surfaces. Excessive pressure on pavers erodes grout; on render it can strip the surface; on brick it can damage soft mortar. Our technicians are trained to use the correct pressure, nozzle type, and chemical pre-treatment for each surface. We inspect surfaces before work commences and advise if we identify any risk of damage due to pre-existing surface condition.
How often should car parks be pressure cleaned?
Most commercial car parks benefit from annual pressure cleaning at minimum, with quarterly spot cleaning of high-traffic entry/exit areas and oil-stained bays. Multi-deck parking structures typically require annual full cleans with periodic interim cleans of ground level areas. We can schedule regular maintenance programmes at reduced frequency pricing for contract clients.
