Living on Phillip Island has its perks — the beaches, the coastal breeze, the lifestyle — but anyone who owns a home or business here knows that the same things that make the island special can also take a toll on your property. The salty sea air drifts in off Bass Strait almost daily, and while it feels refreshing, that salt settles onto driveways, fences and houses. Over time, it leaves behind a film that eats away at paint, corrodes metal and makes surfaces look tired faster than they would inland.
Then there’s the weather. The island’s damp winters and shaded spots around homes in Cowes, Rhyll and Ventnor are perfect breeding grounds for moss, mould and algae. You’ve probably noticed green streaks on retaining walls, black patches creeping across a roof, or slippery paths down the side of a house. It’s not just cosmetic either — those slimy surfaces are a real slip hazard if left untreated.
Even day-to-day life on Phillip Island adds to the problem. Bird droppings around San Remo’s cafes, tree stains from the gums in Ventnor backyards, BBQ grease on holiday home decks — it all builds up. Pressure cleaning gives homeowners and businesses a way to reset their property, keep it looking sharp for guests or tenants, and extend the life of surfaces by removing the grit and grime that wears them down. A clean driveway or freshly washed weatherboard façade doesn’t just look good; it helps protect your investment in a place where the elements are always pushing back.
We handle all sorts of pressure cleaning jobs across Phillip Island. Here’s a breakdown of what locals usually call us for:
We service Phillip Island towns like Cowes, Ventnor, Rhyll, San Remo and Newhaven.
We don’t believe in “blast everything and hope for the best.” Here’s more of our method:
Will pressure damage my painted surfaces or render?
If done wrong, yes. That’s why we assess each wall: delicate surfaces get gentler soft wash. We balance pressure + detergent to avoid damage.
Do you bring your own water / power?
We mostly use the property’s water and mains power if accessible. If not, we can bring a water tank / generator (extra cost).
Is chemical cleaning used?
Yes, but only when needed. If mould, fungus or staining is stubborn, we’ll use eco-friendly cleaners in minimal strength.
Do you service neighbouring areas too (Wonthaggi, Inverloch)?
Yes — we take jobs in Wonthaggi, Bass Coast, Inverloch.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes — many holiday house owners sign on for quarterly or biannual cleans to keep their place in top shape between visits.
