Roof Cleaning Services
Over the years, Australian roofs accumulate layers of dirt, moss, lichen, mould and atmospheric pollution that not only look unsightly but actively degrade the roofing material. Moss roots penetrate the surface of tiles, lichen produces acids that etch coatings, and organic growth retains moisture that accelerates deterioration. Our professional roof cleaning service uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) combined with a targeted biocide treatment to kill organic growth at the root and prevent rapid regrowth. Whether you're preparing for a restoration, a repaint or simply want to refresh your home's appearance, a thorough roof clean is the essential first step.
What's Included
Benefits
Restore Appearance
A professionally cleaned roof looks years younger, instantly improving the kerb appeal and presentation of your home.
Prevent Material Degradation
Removing moss, lichen and mould stops the biological and chemical processes that break down tile surfaces and roof coatings.
Prepare for Coating
A clean, contaminant-free surface is essential for paint and coating adhesion. Cleaning is always the first step in any restoration or repaint.
Our Process
Roof Assessment
We inspect the roof to assess the type and extent of contamination and identify any areas that need careful treatment.
High-Pressure Clean
The entire roof surface is cleaned with high-pressure water, working systematically from ridge to eave to flush debris into gutters.
Biocide Treatment
A professional-grade biocide is applied to areas with moss, lichen or mould to kill organic growth and inhibit regrowth.
Gutter & Valley Clean-Out
All gutters, valleys and downpipe outlets are cleared of debris washed down during the cleaning process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will high-pressure cleaning damage my tiles?
When performed by experienced operators using the correct pressure settings and technique, high-pressure cleaning will not damage your tiles. We adjust the pressure and nozzle type based on the roofing material.
How often should I have my roof cleaned?
It depends on your environment. Homes surrounded by trees or in humid climates may benefit from cleaning every 2 to 3 years. In drier, open areas, every 5 years is typically sufficient.
What is a biocide treatment?
A biocide is a professional-grade chemical solution that kills moss, lichen, mould and algae at the cellular level. Unlike simple washing, it prevents rapid regrowth for an extended period.
