PRICE GUIDE
Driveway Cleaning Cost in Cairns
What a driveway clean costs.
Written by Siezar DeWaal, owner of Cairns Bin Cleaning. Prices checked 29 September 2026.
Driveway pressure cleaning in Cairns is $2.95 per square metre with us, dropping to $2.45/m² for everything past 200 m². Every job starts from $179. That includes GST, it’s the same in every suburb, there’s no call-out fee, and you pay after the job.
Worked examples
These are worked straight from our rates. They are examples, not a quote for your place: the exact price comes from measuring your own driveway.
| Driveway size | Roughly | Clean | With mould inhibitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 m² | 3 car spaces | $179 (minimum) | $211 |
| 80 m² | 6 car spaces | $236 | $300 |
| 100 m² | 8 car spaces | $295 | $375 |
| 150 m² | 12 car spaces | $443 | $563 |
| 250 m² | 19 car spaces | $713 | $913 |
A car space here is 12.96 m² (3.6 × 3.6 m). Past 200 m² the extra metres are charged at $2.45, so 250 m² is 200 m² at $2.95 plus 50 m² at $2.45.
What changes the price
Area. The price follows the square metres, nothing else. You measure it yourself on the aerial map, so the number isn’t a guess on either side.
Patios and pool surrounds are $3.45/m², because pavers and edges take longer than an open slab.
Mould inhibitor is optional, $0.80/m² extra, concrete only. You choose it in the quote.
Very big jobs. Anything over $2,000 or 1,200 m² gets a site visit before a price is locked in, instead of a number off a photo.
Booking the next one. Book your next clean before we leave the site and that next clean is 20% off.
What isn’t added
No call-out fee, no suburb charge and nothing paid up front. You pay once the job is done.
Why Cairns driveways go black
Heat, heavy rain and shade, and the organic growth that comes with all three. Pressure cleaning lifts what’s built up without smashing the surface itself, which matters on older or softer concrete. If a surface needs a gentler pass or a pre-treatment first, we say so before we start.
What’s guaranteed
Pressure washing and our other services are guaranteed to the agreed scope: we don’t miss anything that’s on it. Check the quote covers everything you want cleaned.
