Soft Wash, Not High Pressure

A clean roof, without the damage.

High-pressure water on a roof can crack tiles, strip Colorbond coatings and push water up under the roofline. We clean roofs the other way: a low-pressure soft wash with a biodegradable treatment that kills moss, lichen, algae and mould at the root, then a gentle rinse. The growth comes off, the surface stays intact, and because the spores are treated rather than just blasted, it is slower to come back.
What We Clean

Roof cleaning services in Perth

The roofs and problems we deal with most, each cleaned by soft wash rather than high pressure.
01

Tile roof cleaning

Concrete and terracotta tiles hold moss and lichen in their texture and joins. A soft wash lifts it without the cracked tiles and blown-out pointing that high pressure can cause.
02

Colorbond roof cleaning

Colorbond and metal roofs collect salt, dirt and black mould along the ribs and laps. Soft washing clears it without scouring the factory coating.
03

Moss, lichen & black streaks

Shaded and south-facing roof faces go green, grey or black first. We treat the growth where it sits, so it dies back instead of just being cut back.
04

Roof & gutters in one visit

Growth washed off a roof ends up in the gutters. Our vacuum gutter cleaning can be done on the same visit, so the downpipes are clear when the rinse water and debris come down.
Tile And Colorbond

Roofs we soft wash

GaleForce soft washes tile and Colorbond roofs on homes and small commercial buildings across Fremantle and Perth's western suburbs. The method and the treatment are matched to the roof, and we look at the roof before we quote.

The Right Method

Soft washing vs pressure washing a roof: what is the difference?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast dirt off hard surfaces. On a driveway that works well. On a roof it can crack or dislodge tiles, strip the coating from Colorbond, and drive water under the tiles and into the roof space. Soft washing uses low pressure and a biodegradable treatment instead, so the growth is killed and rinsed away while the roof stays intact. It is the method we use on every roof.
Pressure washing Soft washing
Method High-pressure water Low pressure + biodegradable treatment
On tiles Can crack, dislodge or etch tiles Lifts growth without damage
On Colorbond Can strip the coating Coating left intact
Moss & lichen Cut back, roots left behind Killed at the root
Water under the roof Can be forced under tiles Low pressure, gentle rinse
Prices · Quoted Per Roof

How much does roof cleaning cost in Perth?

Every roof is different, so we quote each one after seeing it, free. The price depends on the size of the roof, its pitch and height, the number of storeys, access, and how much moss and lichen has built up. We confirm the price before any work starts, and if you want the gutters done on the same visit, those are $250+GST for the first hour and $150+GST for each hour after.
What we look at Why it matters
Size Roof area and number of faces More roof takes more treatment and time
Pitch & height Steepness and number of storeys Affects access and safety setup
Growth How much moss, lichen and mould Heavier growth needs longer treatment
Add-ons Gutters on the same visit $250+GST first hour, $150+GST each hour after
Treat The Cause, Not Just The Surface

Our roof cleaning process.

We look at the roof, treat the growth, soft wash and rinse, then check the finish and the gutters.
01.

Look & quote

We check the roof type, pitch, access and how much growth there is, then confirm the method and price.

02.

Treat the growth

A biodegradable soft-wash treatment goes on to kill moss, lichen, algae and mould at the root.

03.

Soft wash & rinse

The roof is washed and rinsed at low pressure, so tiles and coatings are not damaged.

04.

Final check

We check the roof faces, valleys and gutters, and clear the gutters if you have added them.

Salt Air & Shade

Why coastal roofs grow moss

Roofs near the river and the coast grow moss and lichen faster. Humid, salty air, shade from trees and cooler winter nights give it everything it needs, which is why roofs around Mosman Park, Cottesloe, North Fremantle and along the Swan show it first. Treating it early keeps the roof looking right and stops the growth holding moisture against the tiles and sheeting.

Good To Know

Roof cleaning FAQs

We quote every roof after seeing it, and quotes are free. The price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the number of storeys, access, and how much moss and lichen has built up. We confirm the price before any work starts.

Yes. We clean concrete tile, terracotta tile and Colorbond roofs with a low-pressure soft wash, not high pressure. It removes moss, lichen and grime and treats the spores at the source, without cracking tiles, stripping coatings or forcing water underneath.

If moss, lichen or dark staining has taken hold, usually yes. Left alone, that growth keeps spreading across tiles and sheeting, holds moisture against the surface and dulls the look of the whole house. Coastal and riverside roofs around Cottesloe, Mosman Park and North Fremantle grow it faster because of the humid, salty air.

High pressure can crack or dislodge tiles, strip the coating from Colorbond and push water under the roof. A soft wash kills the growth with a biodegradable treatment and rinses it off at low pressure, which is safer for the roof and slower for the growth to return.

Yes. Growth washed off the roof ends up in the gutters, so it makes sense to book gutter cleaning on the same visit. Gutters are $250+GST for the first hour and $150+GST for each hour after.

We use a biodegradable treatment and apply it at low pressure, only where the growth is. Ask us at the quote if you have plants or a water tank close to the roofline and we'll talk you through how we work around them.

If you are in Fremantle or Perth's western suburbs, yes. We are based in North Fremantle and soft wash roofs from Swanbourne and Claremont to Attadale, Applecross and Coogee. Request a free quote with a photo of the roof, or call 0401 065 516.
