Our homes are constantly exposed to harsh elements such as pollution, road dust, wind and rain. The moisture that stays on the roof becomes a breeding ground for unwanted formations of mould, mildew, moss, algae and lichen. In time, cracks form on the surface, and leaks and missing tiles develop because of the unsupervised growth.

Roofs are very versatile elements of a home because they can be wrought into different designs and can be made up of different materials. But one thing for certain is that like any other part of your home, constant cleaning is a must to have your property looking its very best.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE; BETTER THAN REPAIR

Letting your roof degrade too long will eventually cause the need for a full restoration or rebuild. This may be the most costly expense you will run into as a homeowner. That’s why we have the saying “prevention is better than repair”. Extend the lifespan of your roof in just one day every few years with an effective clean and you won’t regret it.

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER PRESSURE CLEAN A TILED ROOF!

Roofs such as Cement tiled, Spanish tiled,  C-lock and Elemental tiles should never be pressure washed. Pressure washing damages your roof tiles and pointing by blasting away the granules and mortar.

This crude and invasive method of roof cleaning doesn’t really kill all of the algae growths. It may strip away mould quickly, but in the process, it will either pull out or leave it’s root system behind. This process will damage the tile and the mould will simply regrow. Typically roofs that have been pressure cleaned in Sunshine Coast, will need to be cleaned again in as little as one year, depending on local weather. Besides ruining your roof and getting under the tiles, all pressure washing does is scatter the algae and leave microscopic spores around your roof and on to everything else.

The brute force of pressure washing generates around 4000psi of water pressure blasting against the surface. This brute force guarantees to damage and age your roof by removing the fine outer layer making the surface more porous ensuring greater mould regrowth. It also lightens the roof colour and creates possible water damage in the future within your ceiling cavity.  Despite popular belief, pressure washing always fails to kill or remove the spores.  Once pressure washed the surface appears cleaner due to the outer biological growth having been removed, meanwhile, the biological growth now fills and blocks your gutters. Upon a closer inspection, you will notice all the spores that remain on the surface only encouraging further regrowth to develop within 12 months.

HOW SOFT WASHING WORKS

Once the exterior surface has been treated with the moss and mould remover, it immediately starts to work by killing the spores of any organic growth present like moss, mould or lichen.  When an exterior surface has been soft washed, it will continue to self-clean for up to 12 months keeping your home or workplace looking good. After 12 months the surface will remain clean for up to 5 years dependant on location.  Organic growth like spotty lichen patches and fungus growth on metal roofs erodes the protective paint surface exposing the bare roof sheets to the weather causing corrosion and premature life-span.  On tiled roofs, organic growth damages mortar joints, colour coatings and creates tile movement causing potential water damage.

OUR 4 STAGE SOFT ROOF CLEANING PROCESS

  1. Do a thorough inspection of roofing, wash-down of the roof to cool for preparation.
  2. Apply specially formulated roof cleaning mixture at roughly 60PSI. Wait 30mins, touch up stubborn spots.
  3. Rinse roof to clear detergents
  4. Apply algae re-growth preventative solution

The expected lifetime of a soft roof clean in Sunshine Coast using this system will vary depending on weather, aspect and location, however, it will be many years before any noticeable regrowth appears. This is how we can provide a;

COLOUR BOND ROOF CLEANING

A colour-bond roof is usually much easier to clean than a tiles or terracotta. Colour-bond is strong, rarely leaks and time is the only thing that will remove paint. We use a surface cleaner at the lowest possible pressure to clean these. To clean a colour bond roof is a much less expensive exercise than tiles or terracotta.

Using a process and treatment that removes all the dirt and contaminants and inhibit the regrowth of lichen and algae by killing spores. If these go untreated they will grow back within 12 months and you will be back where you started.Why would you need roof cleaning for your property?

Kerb appeal adds to the overall value of a property. A thorough, professional roof clean is one of the best ways you can upgrade the look of your home. Many realtors do consider the aesthetic appeal of a roof as part of the overall pricing of a house.

Avoid Unexpected Costs
