Commercial Pressure Cleaning Brisbane

Pressure Cleaning Concrete

Exterior

Commercial pressure cleaning Brisbane is a large part of what we do on a daily basis, often on weekends and at night time, whilst Brisbane sleeps.

So we sprang into action one Saturday morning using commercial grade water blasters to restore appearances.

It wasn’t necessary to use chemicals on all bar the paved path to the Office entrance.

You can see the difference in the pictures below.

High volume equipment & relatively low pressure optimizes the result

A real lift to appearances

Interior

Beyond the roller door is a sizable warehouse with a floor that also needed a little TLC.

The owner had misgivings because the adjacent Office was carpeted and he also had concerns with the painted walkways. This required more sophisticated equipment using low volume, hot water and vacuum extraction. We undertook the task the following weekend and guess what …the carpet remained dry, the paint intact and the warehouse looks a lot brighter and user friendly.

Industrial Shed Ceiling, Wall & Plant Clean

Our internal cleaning also extends to removal of caked on dust from Factory ceilings, walls, plant and equipment as well as floors.

Our visits involving Commercial Pressure Cleaning Brisbane invariably have a positive effect on staff at these establishments. It’s easy to see why when you look at the after shots …

It took our team of five a whole weekend to clean this factory from top to bottom. Not bad considering the total area cleaned roughly equates to the playing surface area at Lang Park. We did have large knuckle booms and a scissor lift but the set up areas are very confined due to the huge amount of plant. Having had twenty years practice at the same shed however, does help to get it right.

Incredible transformation over just one weekend

Different Industrial Shed …Roof

Filthy cliplock roof on Brisbane’s southern outskirts

Quite a contrast with skylights looking good

Power saving clean up

After clean… much cooler inside plus more light

This large industrial shed was the subject of a Make Good at an End of Lease revamp which included cleaning the roof as well as reinstating various electrical fittings inside.

The electricians were pretty much working in the dark below, without power but were so grateful for the clean skylights which had a huge impact on visibility and their ability to effectively carry on.

Who could blame the maintenance guys for kicking up about working in these conditions.

This has to be worse than Basil Fawlty’s hampster on the loose

Wearing a P3 mask is essential when cleaning up this mess …people have died from inhaling too much of this, so after scraping, bagging and commercial pressure cleaning Brisbane …things are back on track.

Good to go

Makes you wonder what the shoppers were breathing in down below

Scaffolded Building Clean

Concrete cancer had taken its toll on the rear of this twelve story City building requiring urgent remedial action. The concrete window hoods were falling apart, but before any jack hammering it was necessary to pressure clean to fully reveal the extent of the damage.

All ready at ground level

With everything in place the work begins.

Putting things in perspective

Footpath Walkway

This one definitely had to be done at night. It’s in the busy city fringe with lots of restaurants, which translates to lots of pedestrians likely to walk into a shower of chemicals. We have to tread warily indeed to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Roof pressure cleaning

Terracotta

The owner of this residence contacted us because he was impressed with our work next door …wait for it…some six years previously. He wanted the job done professionally, with no broken tiles and zero water ingress. Like his neighbour’s roof (also terracotta) we advised the best way to go would be to use a boom lift.

The before shot below, of a front section, was fairly indicative of what lay ahead for us.

That’s more like it

Colorbond

A shed on the same property with a colorbond roof was pretty typical of what happens when they are let go. Lichen growth is particularly attracted to light coloured colorbond roofs …no exception here, but it cleaned up OK.
