Roof Washing Adelaide: The Complete Guide

Roof washing is one of the more specialised services we offer — it involves working at height, on a surface that can be fragile or slippery, and safely removing moss, lichen and grime without damaging tiles or coatings. Done properly, it makes a dramatic difference to how a home looks from the street.

What's included

• Assessment of roof material and condition to determine safe pressure and technique.
• Careful removal of moss, lichen and organic growth from tiled or metal roofing.
• Clearing of debris from valleys and gutter lines while we're up there.
• A final check to make sure the roof is left safe and nothing has been missed.

Our process

Tiled roofs and metal roofing need different handling, and older or more fragile tiles need a gentler approach than newer, more resilient ones. We assess the roof before starting and adjust pressure accordingly — the goal is a thorough clean without dislodging or cracking anything in the process.

How much does it cost?

Roof washing starts from $349, with pricing depending on the size of the roof, its pitch and how much moss or grime buildup needs to be removed. Send us a few photos and we'll come back with an accurate quote.

How often should roofs be cleaned?

Most Adelaide homes benefit from a professional roof clean every 2 to 3 years, though roofs under overhanging trees or in shaded, damp positions can need attention sooner. Pairing a roof clean with gutter cleaning or solar panel cleaning is common, since we're already up there.
