Pressure washing in Christchurch
High-pressure cleaning that lifts embedded dirt, moss, oil marks and slippery growth from driveways, paths, patios and decks, with an even finish across the whole surface.
Overview
High-pressure cleaning that lifts embedded dirt, moss, oil marks and slippery growth from driveways, paths, patios and decks, with an even finish across the whole surface. Maidly provides pressure washing for homes and businesses across Christchurch, from the central city to the coast and the Port Hills.
The right pressure for each surface
Concrete and pavers can take high pressure. Timber decking and softer stone can't, so we adjust the pressure and nozzle for every surface rather than running one setting across the whole property.
On large flat areas we use a rotary surface cleaner. It cleans evenly and avoids the stripes and swirl marks you get from a hand-held wand, so your driveway looks consistent from end to end.
What’s included
- Concrete and exposed-aggregate driveways
- Paths, steps and patios
- Pavers and courtyards
- Timber and composite decks (at lower pressure)
- Fences and retaining walls
- Pre-treatment of oil, rust and organic stains where suitable
Every job is covered by our 100% work guarantee. If something isn’t right, we’ll come back and fix it. This service is also guaranteed for 12 months.

Why it matters
Moss and algae on paths and driveways make them slippery, especially through Christchurch's wet winter months. Cleaning them makes your property safer to walk on.
A clean driveway is also the first thing people notice. It's one of the quickest ways to lift the look of a property before a sale or open home.
Pressure washing FAQs
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
We pre-treat oil and fuel marks before washing, which lifts most fresh and moderate stains. Very old stains that have soaked deep into concrete may fade rather than disappear completely, and we'll tell you what to expect when we quote.
Will pressure washing damage my deck?
Not when it's done properly. We clean timber at a much lower pressure with a wider fan, working with the grain, so the surface isn't furred up or gouged.
Do you need power and water?
We'll need access to an outside tap. We'll confirm everything we need when we book your job.
