North west Sydney
Pressure cleaning in the Hills District is mostly detached house work, from the established streets of Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills to the new estates of Box Hill and Marsden Park. We do house washes, roofs, gutters, decks and driveways, and the council here is unusually direct about pressure cleaning water: contain it.
Every price on this site applies here, the same as anywhere else in Sydney.
At the 2021 Census, 81.2 per cent of the 59,810 occupied private dwellings in The Hills Shire were separate houses. Flats and apartments were 9.8 per cent. Across New South Wales the figures were 65.6 and 21.7 per cent.
So the ordinary Hills job is the whole outside of a house: walls and eaves, the roof, the gutters, the driveway and the deck.
The Hills Shire Council's water quality page is the most specific of any council page we read for this site. It says only rain belongs in the stormwater drain, and it tells residents to reuse or contain water from pressure cleaning, minimise water blasting, prevent spray drift and collect solids.
It says water pollution is prohibited under section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997, and that penalty notices may be issued for some offences.
Council monitors water quality in creeks across the shire, including Cattai Creek, Little Cattai Creek, Cataract Creek, Blue Gum Creek, Excelsior Creek at Castle Hill, Darling Mills Creek at West Pennant Hills and Strangers Creek at Kellyville. Those are where untreated runoff from a Hills street goes.
The north west of the district is a growth area. The NSW Department of Planning puts up to 9,600 new homes at Box Hill and up to 10,300 at Marsden Park, which sits in Blacktown City but is usually counted with the Hills.
The older suburbs are a different question. Asbestos NSW estimates one home in three built or renovated in the state between 1945 and 1990 contains asbestos, so a house of that age gets the cement sheet check before anything else. A new estate house does not need the same caution, and we still look.
The state rule is the same under all of them: wash water must not enter the stormwater system. Each council words its own guidance, and we read the one for the address before the job.
These are parts of Hills District, not a list of jobs. The ones with a page of their own are the ones we can write something true and specific about. The rest are named and left alone until we can.

A detached house region gets the detached house lines: the house wash by storey, the metal roof soft wash, and the timber deck.
One rate card for all of Sydney, every figure including GST. The minimum for an attended job is $249, and the truck runs from Penrith.
Its water quality page tells residents to reuse or contain water from pressure cleaning, minimise water blasting, prevent spray drift and collect solids. Water pollution is an offence under section 120 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act.
Yes, by soft wash only. Metal and Colorbond roofs have a published starting price. Tile roofs are quoted after a look because they vary too much for a headline figure.
It is in Blacktown City Council, and it is usually counted with the outer Hills. We group it with Box Hill because the two are the same kind of new estate.
No regional loading. The rate card is the same across Sydney, with one published travel line for jobs a long way from the base.
Every local figure and rule on this page is somebody else's published work. Each link was opened and returned a page on the date shown.
