Roof cleaning
What roofs with us looks like
Roofs on leafy blocks and coastal headlands collect growth fast. Moss holds water against the tiles, lichen etches the surface, and black streaks run down from the ridge. Left alone, moss lifts tiles and blocks valleys and gutters.
We don't pressure clean roofs. We apply a treatment to the moss, mould and lichen and leave it there. Each time it rains, the treatment works further in. Over about 12 months the growth dies right back and weathers off, and the tiles, glaze and coatings are never touched by a jet.
Why it matters
What you get
Kills it at the root
The treatment kills moss, mould and lichen right through, so it doesn't grow straight back.
No pressure on the roof
Terracotta glaze, slate and Colorbond coatings are never blasted, so nothing is stripped or cracked.
Works for 12 months
The treatment keeps working with every rain for about a year, until the growth is fully killed off.
Gentle on the house
No high-pressure water forced under tiles, into the roof space or down the walls.

Our method
How we do it
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.
Can a roof be pressure cleaned?
Concrete tiles can take some pressure. Terracotta, slate and anything with a coating should not. High pressure strips the glaze from terracotta, cracks old slate and lifts the paint film on Colorbond. It also forces water up under tiles and into the roof space.
That's why every roof we do is a treatment, not a pressure clean. Moss, mould and lichen don't need blasting. Once the treatment kills them, they let go of the tile and the rain washes them away. The full result takes about 12 months.
Roof cleaning before a sale or restoration
A clean roof changes how a house looks from the street and in drone photos. Because the treatment takes about 12 months to fully kill off the growth, book it well ahead of a sale or a roof repaint rather than the week before.

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.

Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
Will roof cleaning break my tiles?
There's no pressure on the tiles, and we keep foot traffic to a minimum with roof ladders and padding. Brittle old tiles can crack under any foot traffic, so we check first and tell you if we see weak areas.
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.
Do you clean Colorbond roofs?
Yes, with the same treatment. Nothing is blasted, so the paint system isn't damaged.
Is roof cleaning safe for my rainwater tank?
Disconnect the tank inlet before we start and we'll remind you to reconnect it after a good rain. We can't let cleaning solution run into drinking water.
Why don't you pressure clean roofs?
High pressure strips glaze, cracks slate, lifts coatings and pushes water under the tiles. A treatment kills the growth at the root without any of that.
Do you also clean gutters?
Gutter cleaning is a separate service. Dead growth comes off the roof over the year, so it's worth having the gutters cleared afterwards.
