Cost guide
The cost of pressure washing services in Ireland is influenced by the scale and complexity of the job. Factors like the type of surface, the extent of dirt or grime, and the accessibility of the area all play a significant role in the final price.
Typical cost in Ireland
€150 - €600 per job
For a standard driveway cleaning, you can expect to pay between €150 and €250. This typically covers a medium-sized residential driveway, removing common dirt, moss, and oil stains. Larger driveways or those with stubborn stains may incur additional charges.
Cleaning a patio or decking area usually falls within the €150 to €300 range. The price depends on the material (e.g., wood, stone, concrete) and the size of the area. More intricate designs or difficult-to-reach spots can increase the cost.
House washing, focusing on exterior walls, typically costs between €300 and €600. This price reflects the larger surface area and the need for careful application to avoid damaging render or paintwork. The height of the property and the type of cladding are key determinants.
Prices can be pushed up by the need for specialised cleaning solutions for specific stains like algae, oil, or graffiti. Difficult access, such as properties on steep hills or with narrow pathways, will also add to the labour cost. Conversely, smaller, easily accessible jobs are at the lower end of the price spectrum.
Most quotes will include the labour, the use of professional-grade equipment, and basic cleaning solutions. Exclusions often involve the removal of deep-set stains that require multiple passes or specialised chemicals, or repairs to damaged surfaces revealed by the cleaning process.
When comparing quotes, ensure you're comparing like for like. Ask for a detailed breakdown of what is included, the specific areas to be cleaned, and the type of equipment and solutions used. Clarify if VAT is included and check for any call-out fees.

Yes, prices can vary. Dublin and surrounding areas may see slightly higher costs due to increased operational expenses compared to more rural regions of Ireland.
For a small patio, expect to pay around €150 to €200. This assumes it's a standard size and not excessively dirty.
Absolutely. Cleaning delicate surfaces like certain types of render or aged brickwork can be more time-consuming and require lower pressure, potentially increasing the cost compared to robust concrete.
Basic cleaning detergents are usually included. If specialised chemicals are needed for stubborn stains like oil or algae, there may be an additional charge.
A standard driveway or patio might take 2-4 hours. Larger jobs like house washing can take a full day or even longer, depending on the property's size and complexity.
