Choosing the right commercial pressure cleaning provider comes down to more than price or how powerful their equipment is. Look for genuine commercial experience, appropriate equipment, strong safety procedures and a provider that understands how to work around an operational business.
Broadway Commercial Cleaning Service has been cleaning Perth businesses since 1988 and has a 5-star Google review rating. Our commercial pressure cleaning services form part of a broader commercial cleaning offering, allowing us to consider the entire property rather than treating pressure cleaning as an isolated job.
Choose a Provider With Genuine Commercial Experience
Pressure cleaning a residential driveway is very different from working across an office building, commercial property or managed facility.
Commercial cleaning can involve:
- Employees and customers moving through the site
- Vehicle traffic
- Restricted access areas
- Building management requirements
- Fire detection and alarm systems
- Other contractors working on the property
- Cleaning that needs to take place around business hours
Your provider should understand how to plan around these requirements rather than simply arriving and starting the pressure washer.
This is one of the main advantages of working with Broadway. Commercial properties are our core business. We are accustomed to coordinating cleaning around the requirements of businesses, property managers and facility managers across Perth.
Make Sure They Use the Right Pressure for the Surface
More pressure does not automatically mean better cleaning.
Different commercial surfaces can require very different approaches. Concrete may tolerate a different pressure level to painted surfaces, walls or areas inside a building.
Using too much pressure can potentially damage coatings, paint or other materials.
At Broadway, our pressure cleaning equipment ranges from 1,500 PSI to 4,500 PSI. Lower-pressure equipment is typically used for suitable indoor areas, while higher-pressure machinery can be used on appropriate external surfaces.
More importantly, we choose the pressure level based on what is being cleaned.
This is an important question to ask any provider:
How do you decide which pressure level to use on my property?
A good commercial pressure cleaning company should be able to explain the answer clearly.
Check What Areas They Can Actually Clean
Commercial pressure cleaning is not limited to driveways.
Depending on your property, you may need several different areas cleaned during the same visit.
Broadway’s pressure cleaning service in Perth can cover areas including:
- Driveways
- Building entries
- Steps
- Footpaths
- Commercial car parks
- Walls
- Machinery
This matters because commercial properties rarely have only one surface that needs attention.
If your car park, entrance and external pathways all need cleaning, it is usually easier to have one commercial provider assess the site as a whole rather than organising separate contractors for each area.
Ask How They Handle Building Systems and Safety Requirements
This is one area where commercial pressure cleaning differs significantly from a simple residential job.
Depending on where the work takes place, pressure cleaning can interact with fire detection equipment, alarms and other building systems.
Broadway coordinates with building management or nominated site contacts before work begins. Where required, this can include arranging the isolation of fire detection equipment before cleaning and using controlled procedures to reduce the risk of triggering alarms or other systems.
Our team is also CM3 OHS/WHS accredited and experienced in working within commercial environments.
If you manage an office, commercial building or larger facility, these processes should be part of the provider selection process.
The cheapest pressure cleaning quote is not necessarily useful if the contractor does not understand how to work safely within your building.
Look Beyond the Pressure Washer
The equipment matters, but so does the company operating it.
Before choosing a provider, consider:
- How long they have been operating
- Whether they primarily work with commercial properties
- Their insurance
- Their safety procedures
- How they communicate with building managers
- Whether they have experience with the surfaces you need cleaned
- Reviews from commercial customers
Broadway has provided commercial cleaning services in Perth since 1988 and has earned a 5-star Google review rating.
Our pressure cleaning service also sits within a much broader commercial cleaning operation, which gives our team an understanding of how cleaning different areas of a property works together.
Consider Whether You Need More Than Pressure Cleaning
This may be the biggest difference between choosing a dedicated pressure washing business and choosing a commercial cleaning company.
If you have one dirty driveway and only need a once-off pressure wash, a specialist pressure cleaning contractor may be able to handle the job.
But most commercial properties require far more ongoing cleaning than that.
You may also need:
- Regular office cleaning
- Car park cleaning
- Floor cleaning
- Wall cleaning
- Carpet cleaning
- Window cleaning
- Tile and grout cleaning
- Vacate cleaning
- Other specialist commercial cleaning
Using an established commercial cleaning company means pressure cleaning can be considered alongside these wider requirements.
For a business owner, property manager or facility manager, that can mean fewer contractors to organise and a more coordinated approach to maintaining the entire property.
This is one of the reasons Broadway is particularly well suited to commercial pressure cleaning. We are not approaching the job as a standalone exterior service. We can consider how it fits within the broader cleaning requirements of the property.
Ask How the Job Will Be Planned
Communication is another area worth considering before accepting a quote.
A commercial provider should understand:
- Which areas need cleaning
- When the work can take place
- Where staff or customers may be present
- Whether vehicle access needs to be maintained
- Whether building management needs to be involved
- Whether any safety systems need to be managed before starting
Broadway coordinates with site contacts before pressure cleaning begins so the work can be planned around the property.
This becomes increasingly important on larger or busier commercial sites.
A provider may be excellent at pressure washing, but if they cannot work around the operational requirements of your business, they may not be the right commercial cleaning partner.
Do Not Choose on Price Alone
Price will naturally be part of the decision, but pressure cleaning quotes can vary depending on several factors.
These can include:
- Area being cleaned
- Type of surface
- Level of dirt, oil, grime or mould
- Access
- Equipment required
- Site complexity
- Building management requirements
A good provider should understand the property before recommending the right approach.
Rather than simply asking, “How much does pressure cleaning cost?”, it is better to ask what is included, what equipment will be used and how the provider plans to complete the work.
