Roof Types we Clean
At Roofline, our breadth of expertise extends across all common roof types across Sydney. We provide specialist considerations for each roof type, because different roof materials require different cleaning techniques, including:
Terracotta Roof Tiles
Older tiles can be quite brittle, and special care must be taken to avoid damage to the tile glaze and the pointing (mortar). Terracotta tiles generally respond well to soft washing with specialised, biodegradable, anti-microbial solutions.
get started
Concrete Tile Roof Restoration
We recommend soft washing (using low-pressure cleaning with specialised cleaning solutions). Depending on our inspection of your roof and the condition of the tiles, it might be possible to use gentle pressure washing (usually under 1,100 PSI). We’ll choose the best roof cleaning technique to remove algae, moss and dirt without damaging the protective surface of your tiles.
get started
Colorbond and Metal Roofing
Metal roof cleaning generally responds well to high-pressure cleaning to remove dirt, grime and organic growth. With Colorbond roofing, it's important to protect the finish, so low-pressure methods, such as soft washing, are often recommended, especially with older roofs.

Why Regular Roof Cleaning Matters
Professional roof cleaning is a cost-effective way to protect your property's most important asset and to avoid expensive repairs down the line.

What are some of the consequences if you ignore regular roof cleaning (and clearing blocked gutters)?

- Moss and lichen on your roof can trap moisture, increasing the risk of leaks, roof material degradation, and premature roof failure.

At Roofline, our service includes both roof and gutter cleaning. Why? Because a clean roof significantly improves your home's kerb appeal and influences its perceived value to any potential buyers.

Your Top Questions Answered

FAQs

How much does roof cleaning cost in Sydney?

The cost of your roof cleaning can vary depending on the pitch of your roof (how steep it is), the roof size, the material (terracotta or concrete tile, metal or Colorbond), and the amount of debris that has built up on the roof, guttering, and downpipes. However, roof cleaning in Sydney is significantly more affordable than repairs for damage caused by untreated moss, lichen, and moisture. To get an exact figure, contact Roofline today for a free, no-obligation quote.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

As a general guide, we recommend getting a professional roof cleaning every two to three years, although properties in shaded, coastal or high-humidity areas of Sydney may require more frequent attention. Regular cleaning is the most effective way to prevent costly damage and extend the life of your roof.

Does roof cleaning include gutters?

It certainly does! Roofline's roof and gutter cleaning service includes clearing all gutters and downpipes of any debris. This is because roof and gutter cleaning go hand in hand. After all, a clean roof with blocked gutters can still cause water damage and drainage issues.

You can always give us a call on 1800 555 800 to discuss your roofing needs!

Will pressure cleaning damage my roof tiles?

At Roofline, our roof cleaners will tailor the cleaning method to your roof type. High-pressure cleaning is used only where appropriate, and softer, low-pressure methods are used on delicate surfaces such as terracotta tiles to avoid cracking or dislodging material.

Can roof cleaning help before I sell my property?

This is highly recommended because professional roof cleaning can noticeably improve your property's street appeal and make a strong first impression on any potential buyers. Roof cleaning is a low-cost way to add perceived value and present your property as being well-maintained ahead of any sale or lease.

What causes moss and lichen to grow on Sydney roofs?

Unfortunately, Sydney's combination of humidity, coastal air, regular rainfall and shaded areas creates ideal conditions for organic growth on your roof. Moss and lichen spores are airborne and will settle on any roof surface, making regular cleaning essential regardless of your roof type or age.
