Roof Washing in Maroochydore
Salt carried in on the sea breeze settles on every roof in Maroochydore, and combined with the humidity it feeds moss, lichen and black algae fast — especially on shaded and south-facing sections. We clean tile, Colorbond and metal roofs safely, and treat the growth so it stays off for years, not months.
Local & practical
Maroochydore is a real mix of roofs — original brick-and-tile homes, modern rendered builds, unit blocks along the esplanade, and the commercial roofs around the Maroochydore City Centre. Canal-front properties in Cotton Tree and Maroochy Waters tend to see the heaviest moss and black streaking, since they cop both the salt air and extra shade from mature trees.
We match the method to the roof: a soft wash and chemical treatment for tile, and a controlled wash for Colorbond and metal that lifts oxidisation without damaging the coating. Every job includes a longer-acting treatment so regrowth is much slower than an untreated clean.
What's included
- Full roof clean — tiles or sheets, ridge capping and valleys
- Moss, lichen, mould and black-streak treatment
- Gutters and valleys cleared of debris as part of the job
- Solar panels cleaned at the same time (on request)
- Broken or slipped tiles noted and photographed
- Before and after photos
Cleaning a Maroochydore roof — harnessed, with a ground exclusion zone.
How we do it
Our process
Inspection
Roof type, pitch, height and condition — we note anything brittle or already cracked so we can work around it.
Safety setup
Harness and anchor points, and a marked exclusion zone on the ground below.
Clear debris
Gutters and valleys cleared first so water and residue can drain away properly.
Treat & wash
Soft-wash chemical treatment, then a wash at the right pressure for your roof type.
After-treatment
A longer-acting biocide so moss and lichen take years, not months, to return.
Before / after — oxidised, streaked metal roof brought back.
Good to know
Will pressure cleaning break my tiles?
Not the way we do it. Tile roofs are soft washed and treated — we avoid the high pressure that strips the protective glaze. Any tiles that are already cracked or slipped are identified first and we work around them.
We also handle Maroochydore's commercial and strata roofs — shopfronts, awnings and body-corporate buildings — scheduled outside trading hours so it doesn't disrupt your business or tenants.
Pricing. Typically $400–$900 depending on roof size, pitch, height and how much growth there is. Free quote, and cheaper bundled with a house wash or gutter clean.
FAQ
Common questions
Does roof cleaning actually extend the life of my roof?
Yes. Removing moisture-holding growth reduces tile movement, rust and blocked valleys — all of which lead to leaks and early replacement.
How long until the moss comes back?
With our after-treatment, usually 2–4+ years. An untreated roof near the water can be visibly green again within a year.
Can you clean my solar panels while you're up there?
Yes — it's the ideal time. See Solar Panel Cleaning.
Do you service units and body corporates in Maroochydore?
Yes — see Commercial & Strata for scheduled building maintenance.
