This Compliance article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Commercial Pressure Cleaning jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.
In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.

A WAH job needs a Safe Work Method Statement before tools come out.
