Roof Cleaning Ipswich

Ipswich roofs, from older iron roofs on Queenslanders to tile roofs on newer homes, collect dirt and organic growth. We inspect first, then clean with a method that suits the roof material and age.

Gutters and downpipes can be flushed at the same time.

Many of Ipswich's Queenslanders and cottages still have corrugated iron roofs, some original and some replaced decades ago. Older iron can have thin spots, rust and loose fixings, and it is not something to walk on carelessly or blast with high pressure. We inspect first, keep pressure low and clean with treatments suited to metal.

If we find rust, lifted sheets or loose screws while we are up there, we will let you know. Cleaning is not a repair, but it is often the moment problems are spotted.

Brick and tile homes from the 1970s onwards make up much of suburbs like Raceview, Flinders View, Brassall and Yamanto. Their concrete tile roofs often show black streaks and lichen once the original coating has worn. We treat the growth, soft wash the tiles and rinse valleys and gutters clear.

A clean roof also tells you a lot about its condition. If you are deciding whether a restoration is needed, getting the roof cleaned first gives a roofer a much clearer picture.

Newer homes in Springfield Lakes, Brookwater, Augustine Heights and the Ripley Valley estates mostly have Colorbond or modern concrete tiles. These are in good shape, but dust, mould and dirt still build up, and a gentle clean every few years keeps them looking new and protects the coating.
