Roof Washing

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:

  1. Pre-wet your roof and remove any debris like leaves and branches
  2. Apply our eco-safe soft washing mixture, which eats away at mould, algae and black mildew
  3. Soft wash rinse to gently remove stains, contamination and organic buildup
  4. Repeat as necessary to remove any stubborn marks or organic growth
  5. 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.

Want panels done on their own without a roof wash? That's available separately.

Add gutter cleaning while we're up there

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.

Benefits of regular roof washing

  • Instantly improves street appeal and increases property value
  • Removes damaging organic growth before it causes problems
  • Prolongs the life of tiles, metals and protective coatings
  • Helps prevent leaks, roof decay and premature repairs
  • Boosts solar efficiency when panels are included in the clean
  • Safe, eco-friendly treatment that protects your home long-term

A roof wash is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve your home's condition today — and avoid expensive issues later.

Suitable for all roof types

We clean:

  • Tile roofs (terracotta, concrete, glazed)
  • Colorbond & metal roofing
  • Painted and coated surfaces
  • New and older homes
  • Low-pitch & high-pitch roofs with safe access

If your roof has growth, staining or fading — we can restore it gently and effectively.

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.
