Roof washing that protects your roof, not just cleans it.
Soft wash roof cleaning across the Gold Coast — killing moss, lichen and algae at the root without the risk of high-pressure damage. Solar panel cleaning included free.
Roof washing and soft wash roof cleaning on the Gold Coast
Your roof is one of the most exposed and weather-affected parts of your home — constantly facing sun, rain, moisture and airborne organic growth. Over time, moss, lichen, mould and dirt begin to break down roofing materials, stain surfaces and restrict water flow. Not only does this make your home look tired, it can also shorten the life of your roof and increase the risk of leaks or costly damage.
Our professional roof washing service restores your roof safely using a gentle soft wash system, designed to clean thoroughly without the risk of high-pressure damage.
What it costs. Most standard Gold Coast roofs come in around $825, with solar panel cleaning included at no extra charge. Add gutter cleaning for $100 while we're up there. Booking a roof wash together with a house wash saves you more again — see bundle pricing.

Why soft washing is better for roofs
High-pressure cleaning can chip paint, dislodge tiles, remove protective coatings and force water beneath sheets and flashing — which is why we never pressure wash roofing surfaces. Instead, we apply a controlled low-pressure soft wash treatment, using eco-safe cleaning solutions that dissolve biological growth at the source.
Our roof washing process:
Pre-wet your roof and remove any debris like leaves and branches
Apply our eco-safe soft washing mixture, which eats away at mould, algae and black mildew
Soft wash rinse to gently remove stains, contamination and organic buildup
Repeat as necessary to remove any stubborn marks or organic growth
Post-treat as needed to slow regrowth and protect the surface for longer
Your roof is left clean, bright and protected — without harsh blasting or unnecessary wear.
How often does a Gold Coast roof need washing?
As a general guide, every 3 to 5 years for most properties. That said, three things pull it forward:
Problematic trees overhead — constant leaf drop, sap and bird traffic feed organic growth and hold moisture against the surface
Heavy shade — a roof that never properly dries out after rain gives moss and lichen the damp conditions they need
Coastal salt exposure — near the Broadwater or the beach, salt settles on the roof and holds moisture, which is exactly what growth needs to get established
If any of these apply to your place, expect to be back on a 2 to 3 year cycle instead. The honest answer is that we'd rather look at it and tell you it can wait than talk you into a wash you don't need yet.
Solar panel cleaning — free with every roof wash
Solar panels perform best when clean. Dust, dirt, moss and pollen create a film that blocks sunlight and reduces efficiency. As part of every roof wash, we clean solar panels at no additional cost, helping improve performance and maximise energy output. A clean roof and clean panels means better airflow, better efficiency, and better energy savings.
We're already set up on your roof with the ladders out, so gutter cleaning done at the same time as a roof wash is $100 — well under what it costs as a standalone visit. It's the single easiest thing to tick off while we're there, and it saves getting someone else out later in the year.

Frequently asked questions
Will pressure washing damage my roof tiles?
Pressure washing, if done incorrectly, can crack tiles, strip coatings, force water up under the tiles, and break down the pointing cement. Soft washing is the damage-free alternative — a low-pressure application of our roof treatment that kills moss, lichen and algae at the root instead.
How often should I get my roof washed?
On average, most Gold Coast roofs need a soft wash every 3 to 5 years. If your property has problematic trees overhead, heavy shade, or serious coastal salt exposure, that can accelerate to every 2 to 3 years, because the roof stays damp longer and organic growth takes hold faster. If you're already seeing dark streaks or moss, it's worth getting looked at sooner rather than later.
How long does a roof wash take?
Most standard roofs take half a day to a full day, depending on the size, pitch, and how much growth has built up.
Will it damage my gutters or solar panels?
No, we take care around gutters and downpipes during the clean. If you've got solar panels, we clean those as part of every roof wash at no extra cost.
Can you clean my gutters at the same time?
Yes. Gutter cleaning is a $100 add-on when you book it with a roof wash, which is well under our standard gutter cleaning price — we're already set up on your roof, so it costs us less to do it there and then.
Is soft washing safe for my garden and plants?
Yes. We use a biodegradable treatment and take care around garden beds, rinsing down as we go.
How much does roof washing cost on the Gold Coast?
Most standard Gold Coast roofs come in around $825, though it depends on size, pitch, access and how much growth has built up. Solar panel cleaning is included free. We quote every roof individually and there's no obligation.

Forty years of organic matter, sediment and dust, bird droppings, efflorescence (salts) removed. Terracotta tiles restored to their warm reddish brown colour. Neighbours commented on roof look before and after treatment. Also contractor pointed out some roofing repairs needing attention in the near future.
I can not recommend Bear and his team enough! They performed a full house refresh before we put our house on the market. The whole process was very straightforward, with itemised quoting, clear communication and a post job check in to ensure we were happy. Thank-you!
GC Shine promptly arrived as arranged. He immediately got stuck in to cleaning the mould off our house. This mould was really making our house look bad from the street, particularly as we have a contemporary designed house with lots of white sections. And our roof is white Colorbond. When he finished, the house looked like new again and freshly painted. Bear did a great job, and nothing was too much trouble to do when I asked him. I highly recommend him if you need a great cleaner.
Bear was absolutely thorough in our all-over house clean. The whole house, paver and perimeter fence was completed and it honestly looks like a brand new house! From a detailed quote to a full day on the tools, I cannot recommend Bear enough. Will definitely be booking him in again for a house refresh!
I had Bear around today, preparing my house for sale. Amazing finish, certainly a rewarding job. My house has gone back in time, looking brand new again. No hesitation in recommending Bear. Keep up the good work
