5 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
Brick cleaning is the specialty. Everything else exists because a site rarely needs only one surface dealt with.
Mortar smear, efflorescence and construction residue removed from new brickwork — plus full restoration cleans on aged and stained brick.
02Concrete, pavers, walls, car parks and hard surfaces cleaned at the right pressure for the material — not simply the highest available.
03Concrete, exposed aggregate, pavers and bluestone cleaned back to original colour — with re-sanding and sealing available.
04Paint and tags removed from brick, concrete, render and metal without scarring the surface — plus anti-graffiti coatings.
05Facades, shopfronts, car parks, warehouses and strata buildings — scheduled around trading hours with full compliance documentation.
02 — Substrate reference
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.
| Substrate | Method | Working pressure |
|---|---|---|
| New face brick | Pre-soak, buffered acid wash, neutralising rinse | 1,200 – 1,800 psi |
| Recycled & reclaimed brick | Acid-free chemical, extended dwell, low pressure | 500 – 900 psi |
| Heritage brick, lime mortar | Poultice and hand rinse. No acid, no abrasives | under 400 psi |
| Render & bagged finishes | Soft wash, dilute hypochlorite, gravity rinse | under 300 psi |
| Sandstone & bluestone | Nebulised water, chemical spot treatment only | under 500 psi |
| Pavers, concrete, hardstand | Enclosed rotary surface cleaner, water recovery | 2,500 – 3,500 psi |
Describe the surface and the problem and we will tell you which method it needs — including when the answer is that it does not need us at all.
