Key Information
- Driveway cleaning in Perth typically costs $150–$350+ for a whole job (based on available market estimates – tailored quotes give a more accurate price)
- Price depends on driveway size, surface material, and how much staining or grime needs to be shifted
- The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value: hidden surcharges, rushed jobs and poor equipment can mean paying for a redo
- Sealing after cleaning protects the surface and extends the time before you need another deep clean
How much is driveway cleaning?
Perth operators will typically price a driveway clean as a flat rate, a per square metre rate, or an hourly rate.
A flat rate can seem easy and appealing, but it pays to check what’s actually covered before you commit – hidden fees can quickly add up if your job is outside of the (typically narrow) flat rate scope. A lot of “standard job” flat rates don’t include stain removal, a larger-than-average driveway, or the minimum call-out fee that’s tacked on separately, so the number advertised isn’t always the number on your invoice.
It’s best to get an actual quote tailored to your home, so you don’t have any surprises when the bill comes due.
At a glance, you can see a range of pricing on offer from Perth’s professional pressure washing operators:
| Driveway Type | Estimated Cost |
| Single-car driveway | $150–$250 |
| Double-car driveway | $275–$350+ |

What impacts the cost of driveway cleaning services?
There are a few main factors that can push your quote up or down within the market range.
Size and shape of your driveway
A single-car driveway is a smaller job than a double or extended one. If there’s awkward shapes involved, or tight access, this may require more care and time.
Surface material
What type of stone are you looking to have cleaned? Poured concrete surfaces can be a little easier for operators to clean than porous natural stone, bricks, or exposed aggregate concrete, depending on the integrity of the surface. If it’s delicate, more porous, or otherwise compromised, it may require more care.
Surface condition
Is it just a straightforward clean for dirt and grime, or are there other issues that would take more time and product to fix? Built-up oil, tyre marks, mould growth, or bore stains will take more care and sometimes the use of specialised treatments, on top of the basic cleaning job.
Access for driveway pressure cleaning
Driveways that are harder to get equipment into, or share space with garden beds, cars or other clutter, can take longer to work around. We recommend clearing your driveway before your operator turns up, so they can get started right away.
Bore and iron stain removal in Perth driveways
Perth homeowners know the look: orange-brown streaks running across concrete or pavers, courtesy of our bore water. It’s a common issue, and it takes the right gear, chemicals and expertise to successfully lift.
Light iron staining can sometimes lift during a regular pressure clean, but heavier, rust-coloured staining needs a targeted chemical treatment to break it down properly. That’s why bore stain removal is usually priced as an add-on, rather than bundled into a standard clean. It’s also why we’d steer you away from tackling it yourself; the wrong chemical or technique can set the stain into the surface rather than lift it out, and then you end up having to pay a professional anyway to fix what’s now a bigger problem.
If bore staining is part of the picture on your driveway, it’s worth flagging when you ask for a quote. A good operator will come out and assess the job before giving you a final price. This means they can see the extent of the staining and give you an honest idea of what’s possible and what it will cost.
Pay cheap, pay twice: Why the cheapest quote might end up costing you more
Everyone wants a good price, and there’s nothing wrong with shopping around. But driveway cleaning is the kind of job where you need to make sure you’re booking good value, not just the cheapest price you can find.
Choosing the cheapest pressure cleaning services rather than doing your research may result in:
1. Surcharges once the job’s underway
A low advertised rate can climb fast once oil stains, bore staining or a bigger-than-standard driveway come into play, and some operators only mention this once they’re already on site.
2. Uninsured or inexperienced driveway pressure cleaners
Without the right equipment or know-how, a pressure clean can damage the surface – particularly on softer stone or older concrete – or just leave you with a patchy result you’ll need redone.
3. No one to call if something goes wrong
A properly insured operator stands behind their work. A bargain job with no paperwork behind it usually doesn’t. Don’t risk a big bill later for a few dollars now!
A firm, in-person quote (from a reputable and fully insured operator) beats a generic price list for the same reason it beats a suspiciously cheap one: it’s based on what your driveway job will actually involve. That’s the approach Mr Blastit takes – we’ll come out, have a look, and give you a firm quote before anything starts.

Do you need driveway sealing after cleaning?
Cleaning takes care of the dirt, grime and staining that’s already there. Sealing is what stops it building up again quite so fast. Concrete and stone are porous. Without a decent seal on them, these exterior surfaces are more exposed to UV damage, oil stains, tyre marks, and the wear and tear that comes with Perth’s heating and cooling cycles and winter downpours.
When sealing is booked alongside a clean, you usually get a better rate for the whole bundle – the operator is already there, so it becomes an add-on rather than a separate service. You won’t need it every single time your driveway’s cleaned, since a good quality, penetrating sealer can last for years. Adding a driveway sealing service is one of the better value ways to protect the work you’ve just paid for, and put off your next clean a bit longer.
