Roof Cleaning Services
We can clean your roof!
Roofs are an important part of our homes. Without them, we’d be cold, wet, and miserable. Taking good care of them is essential for any homeowner. We’re able to clean a wide variety of roof styles.
Metal Roof Cleaning
We are proud to offer roof soft washing services.
Our signature soft washing techniques removing dirt, mold, leaf stains, and other debris. Especially in shady areas, roof contaminants often build up to the point of becoming a hazard for tradespeople who need to walk up there.
All work is carried out by height-safety trained professionals wearing harness equipment where required.
A roof soft wash is where an environmentally-safe chemical solution is applied to the roof in order to clean it. The cleaning product is sprayed on, scrubbed with a broom if it needs it, and then thoroughly rinsed off. The results are amazing!
We used to offer pressure washing as an option, however Colorbond themselves recommend soft washing as they way to go for roof cleaning. Pressure washing is a good option if you want to repaint your roof, but not if you just want it cleaned.
We recommend a soft wash over a pressure wash because a pressure wash may result in messy striping (like a zebra), and can strip away an excessive amount of paint.
Tiled Roof Cleaning
Most tiled roofs are covered in dirt, moss, and mold. Maybe your roof even has a lichen problem. We can effectively clean all of these!
Soft washing is the way to go with tiled roofs. Soft washing involves applying a chemical treatment to the roof to remove dirt, mold, lichen, and algae.
What about pressure cleaning your tile roof?
We don’t recommend pressure cleaning your tile roof.
Pressure cleaning can result in blowing out pieces of the concrete pointing and removing the protective coating on the roof tiles. Both of these problems usually lead to serious roof leaks. Pressure cleaning is fine when followed by re-pointing and repainting, as any damage will be fixed throughout the works to be completed, but it is a problem when all you need is a clean.
Therefore, a soft wash has none of these downsides. It efficiently removes debris without causing any damage.
