Body Corporate Pressure Washing for Brisbane Strata Buildings & Complexes

We use soft washing for rendered and painted exteriors — it’s a low-pressure technique combined with commercial-grade cleaning solutions that kill mould and algae without damaging the surface coating. High-pressure blasting on render can strip paint, open up hairline cracks, and void manufacturer warranties. Our soft wash approach is what render manufacturers recommend, and it keeps the surface cleaner for longer because it treats growth at the root rather than just pushing it around.

A standard three-storey block of 20 to 30 units usually takes one to two days depending on contamination levels and access. We’ll confirm the timeline in our scope of works so your strata manager can plan resident notifications accordingly. Larger complexes or buildings with heavy mould growth may take longer — we’d rather do it properly than rush and leave patches that regrow within weeks.

Not with our approach. We use controlled low-pressure techniques around windows, door seals, and balcony membranes — areas where water ingress is a legitimate concern in body corporate buildings. Our operators are trained to identify vulnerable points and adjust their method accordingly. We also flag any pre-existing seal or membrane issues to your strata manager before we start, so there’s a clear record of the building’s condition prior to cleaning.

In most cases, yes. We use commercial-grade soft wash systems that can effectively treat and rinse surfaces up to three storeys from ground level without scaffolding or elevated work platforms. For taller buildings or areas with restricted ground access, we can arrange EWP access and factor that into the quote. Either way, we handle all the logistics — your committee just needs to approve the scope and schedule.

We pre-wet all garden beds and landscaping adjacent to the work area, which dilutes any cleaning solution contact. The biodegradable detergents we use are formulated to break down quickly and won’t harm established plants at the concentrations that reach soil level. After cleaning, we rinse down all garden areas thoroughly. In our experience across hundreds of Brisbane strata jobs, plant damage from our cleaning process is simply not an issue when these precautions are followed.

Pressure washing uses higher water pressure to lift grime from hard surfaces like concrete driveways, car parks, brick and block. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions that kill mould and algae at the root. That’s the safer choice for rendered and painted walls, where high pressure can strip coatings. Most strata buildings need both. We assess every surface on site and match the method to it, so your committee gets a clean building without damage to render, paint or seals.

Before any work begins, we provide a certificate of currency for our $20M public liability insurance, safe work method statements and risk assessments. We also give you a written scope of works your committee can table. After the clean, your strata manager receives a completion report with photos for the maintenance records. That makes it simple to approve us as a contractor and to show the work was done.

We schedule works with your strata manager or on-site manager so residents get notice in advance. Work zones are barricaded and signed, wet areas are managed, and we work in sections so entries, walkways and car parks stay usable wherever possible. Runoff is controlled to meet council stormwater requirements.

Yes. Every Jetstream crew member holds a Working at Heights ticket. Most low-rise strata buildings can be treated from the ground with our soft wash systems. For taller buildings or areas with restricted access, we arrange elevated work platform (EWP) access and include it in the quote, so your committee knows the full cost up front.

Yes. We’re based in Moorooka and look after strata complexes right across Brisbane, plus the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan and Caboolture. The process is the same everywhere: site inspection, written scope, scheduled works and a completion report.

Call 1300 580 435 or send an enquiry through the quote form with the complex address and what needs cleaning. We’ll arrange a site inspection and send a clear, itemised quote and scope of works. That makes it easy for your treasurer to allocate the cost to the right fund. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation.
