Roof Cleaning

Low-Pressure Roof & Solar Cleaning

We clean roofs and solar panels using low-pressure methods to protect tile coatings and panel efficiency.

A clean roof is significantly cooler in Australia than a dirty one with a dirty roof potentially increasing indoor heat by as much as 25∘C.​

Roof types serviced:

Tile - Metal - Colourbond - Commercial roofing systems

Our Roof Cleaning Process

  • Low-pressure soft washing

  • Targeted treatment for mould, lichen & algae

  • Protection of gutters, downpipes & surrounding areas

  • Isolation of rainwater tanks where required

  • Controlled rinse and final inspection

High pressure is avoided on roofing surfaces to prevent damage and premature wear.

Why Professional Roof Cleaning Matters

Incorrect roof cleaning can:

  • Damage tiles and coatings

  • Dislodge fixings

  • Force water under roofing materials

  • Create leaks and future repair costs

Our methods are designed to clean thoroughly while protecting the roof’s integrity.

Safety & Site Control

Roof cleaning involves working at heights and managing runoff. All works are carried out with:

  • Appropriate access equipment

  • Working-at-heights controls

  • Site barricading where required

  • Runoff and environmental management

This ensures safety for occupants, surrounding properties and the public.

How a clean roof stays cooler​

  • A clean roof is significantly cooler in Australia than a dirty one with a dirty roof potentially increasing indoor heat by as much as 25∘C.​

  • This is because dirt, algae and other grime build up trap heat whereas a clean roof reflects more sunlight leading to lower air conditioning costs and increased energy efficiency.

​Increased solar reflectance

  •  A clean roof is more effective at reflecting sunlight back into the atmosphere.​

Reduced heat absorption

  • A dirty roof especially one with dark stains from algae or grime absorbs more solar radiation causing it to heat up significantly more.​

Lower cooling costs

  • This increased heat absorption makes your air conditioning work harder which leads to higher energy bills.
