Roof Cleaning Adelaide
High pressure clean to remove moss, lichen and oxidation without damaging tiles.
Roof cleaning removes moss, lichen, oxidation and decades of grime via high pressure cleaning. It's often the first step before restoration or painting, but a clean alone can dramatically improve kerb appeal and let you see the actual condition of the tiles underneath.
When you need roof cleaning
- Visible moss, lichen or algae growth
- Roof looks 'dirty' from kerb

- First step before restoration or painting quote
What's included in a proper quote
- Full surface pressure clean
- Optional biocide treatment for moss/lichen
- Gutter clean-out of debris
- Photos before and after
Adelaide-specific considerations
Shaded south-facing roofs (Belair, Mitcham, Hills) get heavy lichen growth in Adelaide's wet winters. Coastal suburbs (Henley, Glenelg, Semaphore) get more oxidation from salt air than moss. Roof cleaning prices should reflect the actual job - don't accept the same quote for a clean-only as for a full restoration.

Roof Cleaning FAQs
