How Often Should Commercial Properties Be Pressure Washed?
Most Newcastle commercial properties need pressure washing every 6–12 months. But the coastal environment — salt air, high humidity, and rapid mould growth — means many local businesses need cleaning more often than that.
| Property Type | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Restaurants & hospitality | Monthly to quarterly |
| Retail & shopping centres | Every 3–6 months |
| Medical centres & gyms | Quarterly |
| Offices & professional buildings | Every 6–12 months |
| Warehouses & industrial sites | Quarterly |
| Car parks & walkways | Every 3–6 months |
Newcastle note: Properties within 5km of the coast typically need cleaning at the higher end of these ranges due to accelerated salt and mould buildup.

Commercial Pressure Washing Services We Provide
Graffiti Removal for Newcastle Businesses
Graffiti left on a shopfront or warehouse wall sends the wrong message — and the longer it stays, the harder it is to remove.
We provide rapid response graffiti removal across brick, render, metal, glass, and painted surfaces.
- Fast response — we prioritise graffiti jobs to minimise the time it’s visible.
- Surface-appropriate treatment — different surfaces need different removal methods to avoid damage
- Preventative coating treatments — anti-graffiti coatings make future removal faster and cheaper, and are worth considering for properties that get hit regularly.
- Ongoing contract inclusion — graffiti removal can be built into your maintenance contract, so there’s no back-and-forth when it happens
Newcastle’s inner city, industrial precincts, and transport corridors see regular graffiti activity. Having a plan in place before it happens saves time, money, and headaches.
Why Newcastle's Coastal Environment Demands Regular Commercial Cleaning
Newcastle’s environment is harder on commercial exteriors than most business owners realise.
Salt Air & Facade Corrosion: Salt particles settle on render, brick, metal, and glass — accelerating corrosion and staining. Regular pressure washing removes buildup before it causes permanent surface damage.
Humidity & Mould Growth on Commercial Surfaces: High humidity means mould and algae establish fast on shaded walls, awnings, and entry paths. Left untreated, biological growth spreads and compounds the problem.
Coal Dust & Industrial Fallout in Newcastle’s East & Port Areas: Properties near the port, rail corridors, and industrial precincts deal with fine particulate fallout on top of salt and moisture. Mayfield, Carrington, and the inner east need more frequent cleaning as a result.
After-Hours & Weekend Commercial Cleaning
We work around your business, not the other way around.
Flexible Scheduling Around Business Operations: Pressure washing during trading hours isn’t practical for most businesses. We schedule commercial jobs early morning, after hours, and on weekends — minimising disruption to staff, customers, and daily operations.
Security Protocols for Unattended Site Access: Many commercial jobs run while the business is closed. We work with facility managers and property owners to establish clear site access protocols — key safes, security codes, and documented check-in and check-out procedures — so your property is secure throughout the job.
Commercial Cleaning Contracts & Maintenance Programs
Regular maintenance is easier to manage — and cheaper — than reactive cleaning.
Contract Frequency Options
We offer monthly, quarterly, and biannual contract programs depending on your property type, location, and presentation standards. Coastal and high-traffic properties typically benefit from more frequent scheduling.

- Scheduled cleaning visits at agreed intervals
- Priority booking and response times
- Graffiti removal callouts are included or available as an add-on

Industries We Serve Across the Hunter Region
Retail: Shopfronts and shopping centre tenancies need to look inviting every day. We keep customer-facing exteriors, entries, and car parks clean and presentable year-round.
Hospitality: Restaurants, cafes, and hotels deal with grease, food residue, and heavy foot traffic. Regular cleaning keeps outdoor dining areas, entries, and bin enclosures hygienic and compliant.
Healthcare: Medical centres, aged care facilities, and allied health practices have higher hygiene expectations. We work around patient hours and meet the presentation standards these properties require.
Automotive: Dealership forecourts, service centre aprons, and workshop floors accumulate oil, grease, and tyre rubber. We remove heavy soiling from concrete and hardstand surfaces efficiently.
Industrial: Warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities in Mayfield, Tomago, and Broadmeadow need regular maintenance for safety compliance and operational cleanliness.
Strata: Common areas, car parks, and building exteriors in strata-managed properties require consistent upkeep. We work directly with strata managers and building committees across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
