How to Hire a Brick Cleaning Contractor Without Getting Hosed

If you’ve never hired high pressure cleaning professionals before, it can be hard to know where to start- it’s a competitive industry, and although B&D Cleaning Service is up there with the most professional and experienced brick cleaning contractors in Sydney, we often like to remind our clients what makes our contractor services such great value for money.

1. Price

Price is one of the most important factors when deciding on a contractor. At B&D Cleaning, we offer free no-obligation quotes to all potential clients. We are always happy to discuss price beating in a responsible way, based on the scope of work; call or email us for more information.

2. Scope of works

You might find a cheap advertised price, but will that cover everything you want done- to the standard you need? The scope of works that your brick cleaning contractor has may be limited or expanded to include (or exclude) things like project planning and certification, insurance & more.

3. Proven results

Can your contractor demonstrate the results from past projects? Can they tell you exactly how they achieved a certain finish on a particular surface? At B & D Cleaning, we’re always happy to show you pictures of what we’ve done for our other satisfied clients. For very large works, we can even provide a demonstration- just ask when you request your free quote.

4. Environmental compliance knowledge

In New South Wales, high pressure cleaning is regulated by the Office of Environment & Heritage. There are specific guidelines that must be followed in order to maintain compliance with environmental legislation and regulations; not doing so can result in a fine of up to $1500. This is especially important when it comes to chemicals and preventing runoff. B & D Cleaning can explain our mutual obligations during the pressure cleaning process, as well as taking responsibility for all compliance measures.

5. Referrals

Has your contractor been in the industry for a number of years? Have they got a strong track record of great work for satisfied clients? Our clients include a number of the city’s leading construction groups, builders and strata management companies- see ‘Our Clients’ on the home page for more information. With over 30 years in the industry, we’ve more than proven our ability to provide a reliable, quality service at a budget-friendly rate.

6. Specialist service

Having worked in this area for over three decades, we’ve seen a lot when it comes to different building materials and surfaces, from heritage buildings to new developments, residential to recreational and sporting facilities. We are able to adapt our service to suit your property, including delicate cleaning of heritage facades and graffiti removal that will leave your shopfront looking like it was never attacked in the first place. See our ‘Services’ page for further specific examples.

7. General customer service

Our customer service standards are built open a few key principles. Firstly, we’re always accessible and contactable; we’re on call 24/7 at 1800 090 507. Secondly, we attend to your quote and job as soon as our schedule allows, so you can get on with your project or business ASAP. Thirdly, we maintain courteous and open communication with our clients at all times; this benefits them but it also helps us to improve our standards and respond to new information.

What to Expect from our High Pressure Cleaning Services in Sydney

Sometimes referred to as ‘hydrocleaning’ or ‘waterblasting’, high pressure cleaning uses focussed and pressurised water streams to force dirt, scum films and other materials off surfaces. A range of marks such as paint (graffiti or spilled exterior paint), rubber (burnouts etc), sealants, membranes, gum and ingrained dirt can be removed. This is important for our clients for a variety of reasons; whether they want to prepare a surface for painting or coating, remove unwanted marks or simply freshen up a tired looking facade, high pressure cleaning can get the job done. Impressive results can be achieved where chemicals and ‘elbow grease’ have failed.

The first step that is to complete a site survey, and assess the level of work that needs to be done. This includes taking into account safety – for both workers and passers-by in high traffic areas- and deciding on the specific type of pressure cleaning to be used for best results (these include but may not be limited to acid cleaning, pure water cleaning, super high pressure etc).

Once ready to start, the second step taken is removing large debris from the area, to ensure we don’t miss anything and that the pressure hose can get to the surface that is being targeted.  At this stage, we will also put in place necessary protections to prevent toxic runoff and other environmental hazards.

Before cleaning continues, we will do a test patch to make sure there are no unpredictable issues that we didn’t detect during the planning and quoting process. This may be a concern where surfaces are particularly old and have been exposed to the elements for a long time; sometimes, the surface can be weaker or thinner than first predicted, or in the case of coloured brick/hard court surfaces, may actually have physically faded from sun damage.

During the actual cleaning process, we move the hose in a particular pattern to ensure that everything that’s removed is kept off the cleaned areas and pushed in a particular direction, for easier post-clean tidy up.

Once the process is completed and the surface has dried (important for assessing success of removal of dust and other things that can disappear when wet), the cleaner will consult with their supervisor and with the client to ensure that the entire agreed scope of the works has been completed to a satisfactory standard.

Not sure what level of services you require? No worries. The team at B&D Cleaning Service are available to answer your queries at all times. You can request a quote and more information about the scope of our services by using the contact form to the left, or by emailing more detailed questions to info@bdcleaning.com.au. If your quote is urgent or you just have the one key query, give us a call on 1800-090-507.
