While the name has changed, our commitment to professional service, quality workmanship and reliable results remains exactly the same.
What areas do you service?
We service Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and surrounding South East Queensland regions.

For large commercial projects or multisite contracts, we are flexible and can travel further depending on the scope of work.
Are you fully insured?

For larger commercial, strata and industrial projects, site risk assessments are conducted prior to commencing work to ensure safe access, surface protection and compliance with operational requirements.
Does Platinum Exterior Solutions provide free quotes?

For projects located outside our primary service areas of Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, travel charges may apply depending on distance and project scope.
Does Platinum Exterior Solutions offer after hours services?
Yes. We regularly schedule evening and weekend works to minimise disruption to businesses, tenants and public spaces.
After hours cleaning is commonly arranged for commercial properties, strata complexes, retail centres and industrial facilities where daytime access may be limited.
How long does exterior cleaning take?
The duration of an exterior cleaning project depends on the size of the property, the surfaces being cleaned, site access and the level of buildup.
Commercial, strata and industrial projects can range from several hours to multiple days, depending on the size and scope of work involved.
For many standard residential properties, exterior cleaning is typically completed in around 3–5 hours. Larger homes or properties with additional services such as roof cleaning, driveway cleaning or window cleaning may take longer.
What is exterior cleaning?
Exterior cleaning is the professional cleaning and treatment of external building surfaces such as façades, concrete areas, driveways, pathways, car parks and windows.
Rather than simply applying water under pressure, professional exterior cleaning involves assessing each surface and selecting the most appropriate method, such as pressure cleaning or soft washing, combined with specialised cleaning solutions.
This process removes dirt, mould, algae and environmental buildup while helping protect surfaces, slow the return of organic growth and maintain the overall presentation of the property.
COMMERCIAL CLEANING
What commercial properties do you service?
We provide exterior cleaning services for a wide range of commercial properties including office buildings, commercial buildings, shopping centres, restaurants and hospitality venues, automotive dealerships, medical facilities, aged care centres, childcare centres and schools.
What is included in commercial exterior washing?
Commercial exterior cleaning may include building façade cleaning, pressure cleaning, soft washing, car park cleaning, concrete pathway cleaning, exterior window cleaning and awning cleaning, depending on the requirements of the property.
How often should commercial buildings be cleaned?
Most commercial buildings benefit from professional exterior cleaning every 6–12 months to maintain presentation and prevent the buildup of dirt, mould and environmental contaminants.
High traffic or exposed locations may require more frequent cleaning or scheduled maintenance programs.
Does Platinum Exterior Solutions provide maintenance programs?
Yes. We offer scheduled exterior cleaning and maintenance programs designed to maintain building presentation, protect surfaces and reduce long term restoration costs.
Will cleaning disrupt my business operations?

Yes. Platinum Exterior Solutions regularly partners with strata managers and body corporate managers to maintain townhouse complexes, apartment buildings and shared facilities.
What areas in complexes do you clean?
We provide exterior cleaning for building façades, shared pathways, driveways, car parks, bin areas, external windows and other common areas within townhouse and apartment complexes.

What residential services do you provide?
Our residential services include house washing, roof cleaning, driveway and pathway cleaning, and exterior window cleaning, helping homeowners maintain the appearance and condition of their property.
Is soft washing safe for homes?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to safely remove mould, dirt and grime from delicate surfaces without causing damage.
METHODS & TECHNICAL
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure cleaning?
Pressure cleaning uses high pressure water to remove heavy buildup from durable surfaces such as concrete, driveways and hardstand areas.
Soft washing uses low pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces such as painted exteriors, rendered walls and building façades without causing damage.
Are your cleaning products environmentally safe?
Yes. We use industry approved cleaning solutions designed to deliver effective results while remaining compliant with environmental and safety standards.
How long do concrete cleaning results last?
Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on factors such as foot traffic, vehicle use, surrounding vegetation and environmental exposure.
Scheduled maintenance programs can help maintain the appearance of surfaces for longer.
Can pressure cleaning damage surfaces?
Pressure cleaning can damage certain surfaces if the incorrect pressure or method is used.
At Platinum Exterior Solutions, we assess each surface and select the appropriate cleaning method, whether pressure cleaning or soft washing to ensure surfaces are cleaned safely and effectively without causing damage.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Do you conduct site risk assessments?
Yes. Prior to commencing works on all sites we assess surfaces, site access, potential hazards and operational requirements to ensure the safest and most effective cleaning approach.
Are you compliant with safety regulations?
Yes. Platinum Exterior Solutions operates in accordance with relevant Australian safety and operational standards, ensuring all work is carried out safely and responsibly.
Do you provide insurance certificates and safety documentation?
Yes. For commercial, strata and industrial projects, Platinum Exterior Solutions can provide public liability insurance certificates and relevant safety documentation if required.
This helps property managers, strata managers and facilities managers meet their compliance and contractor engagement requirements.
