Exterior Cleaning & Driveway Washing in Kensington, NSW

Kensington sits far enough inland that salt is barely a factor — which changes the whole job. The enemies here are the ordinary ones: traffic film, tree litter, shade-fed algae and the slow grey of neglected concrete. The good news is these are exactly the problems that clean up most dramatically.

Flat blocks, real driveways

Unlike the coastal suburbs, Kensington’s blocks are flat and its driveways generous. Driveway and concrete cleaning is the biggest single job type here — oil and rubber at the garage end, tannin under street trees, and the general film that builds so slowly owners don’t notice until half the driveway is done. We use rotary surface cleaners for an even finish and treat oil and rust stains separately, since neither shifts under pressure alone.

Federation and interwar homes

The housing is largely Federation and interwar brick — face brick that holds mould in the mortar joints, terracotta roofs that carry lichen on the shaded southern pitch, and tiled verandahs. Brick is treated then rinsed rather than blasted; blasting drives the mortar out and the mould stays anyway.

Around the university and racecourse

The rental and apartment stock toward UNSW and Randwick Racecourse brings steady strata work — shared driveways, entries, bin areas and courtyards, with documentation for managing agents. End-of-lease exterior cleans for landlords are a regular request here too.

Recommended cycle

House washing every two years is generally plenty this far from the water. Driveways and paths as needed — typically every one to two years depending on tree cover. Request a quote today.
