Get your roof looking like new again

We use special treatments, soft washing techniques and manufacturer preferred detergents to clean your roof without damaging it. Our roof cleaning removes moss, eliminates lichen and helps prevent tile deterioration while minimising the risk of water damage.

Brisbane's humidity and summer rain create perfect conditions for organic growth on roofs. Left alone, moss and lichen hold moisture against tiles, stain the surface and can block gutters and valleys.

Our method

Why we soft wash roofs

Blasting a roof with high pressure can crack tiles, strip glazing and push water under flashings. Soft washing uses low pressure and eco-friendly treatments that kill mould and lichen at the root, so the roof is cleaned thoroughly and stays cleaner for longer.

  • Low pressure that is safe for tiles and Colorbond
  • Eco-friendly treatments for mould and lichen
  • Manufacturer preferred detergents
  • Gutters and downpipes rinsed clear

Roofs we clean

  • Concrete tile roofs
  • Terracotta tile roofs
  • Colorbond and metal roofs
  • Roof valleys and ridges
  • Gutters and fascias
  • Patio and carport roofs

    An eco-friendly treatment is applied to break down moss, lichen and mould.

  3. 3

    Soft wash

    The roof is gently washed at low pressure to lift dirt and growth.

  4. 4

    Rinse and gutters

    We rinse the roof, gutters and surrounds and check everything is clear.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

Not with soft washing. We use low pressure and suitable treatments specifically to avoid cracking tiles or stripping coatings.

How long does a clean roof stay clean?

Because the treatment kills organic growth at the root, roofs stay cleaner for longer than with pressure alone. Shaded roofs may need attention sooner.

Can you clean metal and Colorbond roofs?

Yes. We clean concrete tile, terracotta and metal roofs using methods suited to each.

Do you clean gutters as part of a roof clean?

We rinse gutters and downpipes as part of the job so debris from the roof does not stay behind.

Why not just high pressure clean a roof?

High pressure can crack tiles, strip coatings and push water under flashings. Soft washing with suitable treatments cleans thoroughly with far less risk.

Does roof cleaning fix leaks?

No. Cleaning is not a repair, but clearing moss and debris from valleys and gutters helps water drain properly in Brisbane storms. If we spot broken tiles we will let you know.

Is roof cleaning worth doing before selling?

Often, yes. A clean roof changes how the whole home looks in listing photos and at inspections.

Do I need to be home for a roof clean?

Not usually. We just need safe access to the roof and outside areas.
