Roof cleaning for Killara homes
Killara is in the Ku-ring-gai Council area, about 35 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Homes have terracotta or slate roofs, face brick and render, tennis courts and long brick-paved or gravel driveways under blue gums and turpentines. Leaves sit in valleys and box gutters and hold moisture against the roof, which feeds moss.
Overhanging trees drop leaves onto the roof and keep it damp, which is perfect for moss and lichen. The treatment kills both off over about 12 months, and the gutters are worth clearing once the dead growth has come away.
Slate and old terracotta are brittle. We walk on them as little as possible, never use pressure on them and point out cracked or slipped tiles.
We treat the moss, it dies off over about 12 months, and you get photos of any slipped tiles or cracked ridge capping we see.
How often in Killara
For most Killara homes, roofs is worth doing every 4 to 6 years. Shade, leaf litter and damp bring growth back sooner.
What affects the quote in Killara
- Tree canopy: leaf litter and tannin stains often need a separate treatment.
- Older materials: soft brick, original pointing and old paint mean gentler, slower methods.
- Heritage materials: test patches and lower pressure take longer than a modern build.
Every quote is fixed and itemised by surface after a quick inspection.
Our method
How we handle roofs
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Roof inspection
We check for broken tiles, loose capping and fragile areas from the ground and the roof, and photograph anything you should know about.
He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.
Step 02 of 04
Apply the treatment
The treatment is applied to the moss, mould and lichen across the roof, at low pressure from the ridge down.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Leave it to work
It isn't rinsed off. Rain carries the treatment deeper into the growth over the following months.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.
Step 04 of 04
Killed off over 12 months
Moss, mould and lichen die back and weather off over about a year. The roof gets cleaner month by month.

Rated 5.0 from 92+ Google reviews.
Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.
Nathan did an incredible job at my home cleaning all my outdoor paving areas. He even washed some extra areas of my house free of charge and his price was very reasonable. He's a lovely fella and was prompt, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nathan's services.
Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

How often should roofs be done in Killara?
For most homes in Killara, every 4 to 6 years. Homes under trees need it more often.
Do you offer roofs across Killara?
Yes. Killara is about 35 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights, and we also work in Pymble and St Ives nearby.
What affects the price of roofs in Killara?
Mostly tree canopy; older materials; heritage materials. We inspect first and give you a fixed price, itemised by surface.
Why does my roof get moss so quickly in Killara?
Shade and leaf litter keep the roof damp. The treatment kills the moss off over about 12 months, and keeping valleys clear slows the regrowth.
Do you work in Ku-ring-gai heritage areas?
Yes. Heritage homes get gentle, tested methods suited to original roofs, brick and stone.
How long until the roof looks clean?
The treatment takes about 12 months to fully kill off moss, mould and lichen. You'll see it change colour and die back with each rain, and the dead growth weathers off over the year.
