Driveway and path pressure cleaning in Paddington is a job of two halves. The narrow frontages off streets like Glenmore Rd and Underwood St carry a grey film from years of traffic and foot traffic. The back lanes are where the real work sits: paving that runs green from October to August because the sun never finds it.
The housing here is terrace rows in every heritage colour, iron lace and painted render, and the paths were laid to match. Old concrete, tessellated tile at the door, bluestone flags out the back. We soft wash the delicate surfaces and step the pressure up only where the concrete can take it. Leaf stain lifts, moss goes, and the oil shadow under the car sits pale instead of black.
Off Five Ways the lanes are tight and the surfaces are old, so we read each one before the wand touches it. Put your address into the instant quote and you get a firm price in about 60 seconds.
Every surface gets cleaned to a documented finish, then shot against the checklist in your condition report. This is what schmick means on concrete, pavers and stone.
Cleaned edge to edge at even pressure. No zebra stripes, no missed lanes. One flat, consistent tone across the whole slab.
Pre-treated where the car parks, then lifted. The dark stain under the sump goes back to matching the concrete around it.
The shaded run where mould sits gets treated and cleared. No grey-green ghost left behind on the return.
Rubber scuffs at the entry and turning point worked out. The apron reads clean, not scarred.
Surface cleaned and the weed and moss lifted out of the joints. Sand topped where the wash pulls it, so nothing sits loose.
Pressure matched to the surface so the finish comes up clean without pitting or etching the stone.
The strip against the garden, the steps, the path to the door. Cleaned in, not skipped. The line where clean meets garden is straight.
Once it is dry and clean, a penetrating seal goes on. Colour holds, water beads, and the next ten years of grey has nothing to grip.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Paddington, and the same person comes back each visit — no rotating crew, no call-centre between you and the work.
Booking a one-off? A couple of cleans a year adds up. The Schmick Plan folds the whole exterior into one monthly price and keeps it handled, so you never think about it again.

“Couldn’t fault them”
Had the windows and the driveway done. Turned up right on 8, finished before lunch, and the driveway honestly looks brand new. Same guy came back for the gutters last month and remembered our dog’s name. Couldn’t fault them.
“Should’ve done it years ago”
They sent me photos of what came out of our gutters. Revolting. Glad it’s gone. Lovely guys too.
“Came out after the storm”
We’re on their monthly plan. After that big blow in June they were out two days later and sorted everything without us having to chase. Worth it for that alone.
“Honest, which is rare”
Our sandstone wall had gone black and I’d assumed it was ruined. It’s come up beautifully. There was one damp patch he said needed a stone specialist rather than pretending he could fix it, which I appreciated. On time, tidy, very fair on price.
“Neighbours all asked who did it”
Windows are unreal. Two of the neighbours came over to ask who did them before the van had even left the street. Booking was easy and they text you when they’re on the way.
“10/10”
Got the whole outside done before we hosted Christmas. Mum asked if we’d had the place repainted. Showed up when they said, price was exactly what they quoted.
Yes. We work the terraces off Five Ways and the streets around it, Glenmore Rd, Windsor St and Underwood St, from the front path through to the back-lane paving.
Put your address into the instant online quote and you get a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds. That price holds unless the surface turns out materially different to what you described.
The lanes sit in shade most of the year, so moss and algae never dry out and the pavers hold the damp. We soft wash the film off and can seal afterwards to slow the green coming back.
One crew, one visit. Book a single job or hand us the whole exterior.
Inside and out, tracks and screens. The squeegee line you can see from the street.
Render, brick and weatherboard brought back without blasting a thing. Ten years of grey, gone by lunch.
Cleared, flushed and photographed. The before you never wanted to see, and the after you will.
A film of grime is a tax on every panel. We take it off, quarterly, and your yield thanks you.
Salt and lichen lifted, the stone left to breathe. Heritage stone, done properly.
Moss, lichen and mould lifted off tiles and Colorbond. Soft washed, never blasted.
Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences washed back. The street side done first.
Tell us the address and what the street sees. The same person who would do the job gets back to you, not a call-centre.
