Common Questions

Answers to what people usually ask before booking. Can't find yours? Just message us.

General

How far do you travel for jobs?

We service Gawler, Evanston Gardens and all Adelaide suburbs within a 50km radius. Jobs outside that radius are still welcome, just with a small fuel surcharge added to the quote.

How do I get a quote?

Fill out the quote form on this site, message us on WhatsApp, or call/email directly. For most jobs we can quote from photos or a phone description — for larger or commercial jobs we'll arrange a site visit.

Are you insured?

Yes — Precision Exteriors Co is ABN registered (86 829 470 031) and GST registered. Ask us directly for current insurance details if you need them for a commercial or strata job.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes, check the Specials page for whatever's currently running — offers change from time to time.

Pressure Washing

Will pressure washing damage my driveway or pavers?

We match the pressure and technique to the surface — concrete, pavers and exposed aggregate are all treated differently to avoid etching or damage.

How often should I get my driveway pressure washed?

Most homes benefit from a clean once every 12–18 months, though shaded or damp-prone areas can need it more often.

Roof & House Softwash

Is softwash safe for tile roofs?

Yes — that's the point of softwashing. It uses low pressure and the right treatment rather than high-pressure blasting, which is what actually risks cracking or dislodging tiles.

Will softwash strip paint off my house?

No. Softwash is specifically low-pressure to avoid stripping paint or render — that's the main reason we don't just use a standard pressure washer on walls.

How long does the moss and lichen stay away after treatment?

Results vary by property and shading, but a softwash treatment lasts significantly longer than a standard rinse since it treats the growth rather than just knocking it back.

Solar Panel Cleaning

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Every 12 months is a good default for most Adelaide homes, though properties near trees or with heavy bird activity may benefit from more frequent cleans.

Will cleaning my panels damage them?

No — we use soft-bristle brushes and deionised water specifically because they're safe on panel coatings, with no scratching or scrubbing that could affect performance or void your warranty.

Do I need to be home for a solar clean?

Not necessarily, as long as we have safe access to the roof or panels. We'll confirm access details when booking.

Gutter Vacuuming

Do you need to put a ladder on my roof?

No — our gutter vacuum system works from the ground using an extendable pole, so there's no ladder access to your roof required.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Once or twice a year for most homes, and before fire season if you're in a bushfire-prone area — more often if you've got overhanging trees.

What happens to the debris you clear?

It's bagged and removed from your property — we don't leave it in your garden beds or bins.

Pigeon Proofing & Waste Removal

Will the mesh damage my solar panels?

No — the mesh is fitted around the panel frame, not attached to the panels themselves, so it doesn't affect the system or void your panel warranty.

Is pigeon waste actually dangerous?

Yes, dried droppings can carry fungal spores linked to respiratory illness, which is part of why we treat waste removal as its own biohazard-aware job rather than just a clean-up.

Can you just remove the waste without installing mesh?

Yes — waste removal and mesh installation are separate services and can be booked independently, though we'd always recommend proofing afterward so the problem doesn't return.

Window Cleaning

Do you clean the inside of windows too?

Our standard service covers exterior windows, frames and screens. Interior cleaning is available on request — just mention it when you book.

Do you clean flyscreens as well?

Yes — screens are removed and washed separately as part of the service, not just wiped over.

Commercial & Strata

Can you set up a recurring cleaning schedule?

Yes — we work with facilities and strata managers to set up recurring contracts scheduled around your site's operating hours.

Do you handle biohazard waste like bird droppings on commercial sites?

Yes, that's handled to the standard commercial and government sites require — see the Pigeon Waste Removal page for more detail.

How is commercial pricing worked out?

Every site is assessed individually based on scope, access and scheduling — request a free site quote and we'll walk through it with you.
