Exterior cleaning,by people whoknow brick.

6 services across residential, commercial and construction work in Melbourne. Each one has its own page explaining the method, the process and what it actually costs to get wrong.

Drawn to specification — site photography scheduled. Not presented as a Vastex job.

01 — What we do

Every service, in order.

Brick cleaning is the specialty. Everything else exists because a site rarely needs only one surface dealt with.

Brick Cleaning

Mortar smear, efflorescence and construction residue removed from new brickwork — plus full restoration cleans on aged and stained brick.

Pressure Washing

Concrete, pavers, walls, car parks and hard surfaces cleaned at the right pressure for the material — not simply the highest available.

Driveway & Pavers

Concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers and bluestone cleaned back to original colour — with re-sanding and sealing available.

Graffiti Removal

Paint and tags removed from brick, concrete, render and metal without scarring the surface — plus anti-graffiti coatings.

Roof & Gutters

Moss, lichen and debris cleared from roofs and gutters by soft washing — safe for tiles, Colorbond and the ceiling below.

Commercial Cleaning

Facades, shopfronts, car parks, warehouses and strata buildings — scheduled around trading hours with full compliance documentation.

02 — Substrate reference

Pressure is matched to the wall.

Most brickwork damage we get called to repair was caused by someone cleaning it. This is the table we work from — bring it to your next quote comparison.
