Moss, lichen and black weathering lifted off tile, terracotta and Colorbond roofs across the Gold Coast and Brisbane, with the right pressure for the surface and safe access from start to finish.
Left too long, roof growth holds moisture and works its way under tiles and coatings.
We assess the roof first, then use the correct method for the material: soft washing for painted and Colorbond roofs where high pressure would damage the coating, and controlled pressure cleaning where the surface can take it.
The result is an even, clean roof without the broken tiles or stripped coating that comes from someone treating every roof the same way. We clear the gutters and downpipes of the run-off before we pack up.
Most of the roofs we clean look far older than they are. Black weathering on the street side, moss and lichen on the shaded side, and a house that looks tired from the kerb no matter how neat the rest of it is. A proper roof wash brings it back. One customer's 1960s terracotta roof hadn't been done in forever; after the clean it made the whole home look brand new again.
It's also the first thing to price before you commit to anything bigger. If you're weighing up a roof restoration or replacement because the roof looks tired, get a clean quoted first: often the roof underneath is sound, it's just dirty, and a clean costs a fraction of either. We do tile roof cleaning, terracotta, and Colorbond roof cleaning right across the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

“I had the pleasure of having Nicky and his crew come over to clean my 1960's terracotta roof that hadn't been done in forever and the whole outside of my home. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with , the pricing was very competitive and the finished product was amazing, it made my home look brand new again.”
“AMAZING! Here’s an example of roof cleaning vs replacement done right… massive cost savings and the difference is incredible.”
Every roof is different, so Nick prices from a photo rather than a set rate. What moves the number: the size of the roof, how steep the pitch is, whether it's tile, terracotta or Colorbond, and how much moss and lichen has taken hold.
Here's the part worth knowing: a roof clean costs a fraction of what a roof restoration or replacement does. One reviewer summed up her job as roof cleaning versus replacement done right, with massive cost savings. And the reviews keep using the same words about the pricing itself: fair, reasonable, very competitive.

Not the way we do it. We match the method to the roof: soft washing for coated and metal roofs, controlled pressure only where the surface can handle it. That avoids the cracked tiles and stripped coatings you get from a one-size blast.
Yes. A roof wash sends debris into the gutters, so we clear the gutters and flush the downpipes as part of the job rather than leaving you with the mess.
In our climate, every few years keeps moss and lichen from getting established. If you can already see black streaking or green growth, it's due.
Every roof is different, so Nick quotes from a photo. What moves the price: the size of the roof, how steep the pitch is, the material, and how much growth is on it. Whatever the number comes back as, a roof clean costs a fraction of what a roof restoration or replacement does.
Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof, and left alone they work their way under tiles and coatings. The black weathering stains also set in harder the longer they stay. Getting the growth off early keeps the surface sound and the clean easier.
Yes. We do pure-water solar panel cleaning, so it's an easy add-on while the access is already set up. Plenty of customers get the roof, panels and gutters done in the same visit.
