Roof Cleaning That Protects Your Roof, Not Just The Look
Roof cleaning isn’t just about making a roof look newer. Over time, moss, lichen, algae, and debris can hold moisture against the surface, block drainage pathways, and build up in valleys and edges where water should flow freely. That extra moisture and blockage can speed up wear and lead to avoidable issues, especially during heavy rain.
A professional roof clean should be done with care. The wrong approach can damage tiles, strip protective finishes, disturb pointing, or force water where it shouldn’t go. At Wellington Roof Repairs, we focus on roof-safe methods, proper preparation, and tidy clean-up so you get a cleaner roof without unnecessary risk.
The Right Roof Cleaning Method For Your Roof Type
Every roof is different. Tile, metal, and older roof surfaces each respond differently to cleaning. We choose the safest method based on the roof material, the condition of the surface, the pitch, and how heavy the build-up is. The aim is simple: remove growth and grime while protecting the roof components that keep your home weather-tight.
Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning treatment designed to break down and remove organic growth like algae and help reduce regrowth. It’s often a smart choice for roofs where high pressure could cause damage, or where moss and lichen have taken hold and need more than a quick rinse.
Roof Pressure Cleaning (Carefully Controlled)
Pressure cleaning can be effective for removing heavy grime and stubborn build-up on roof surfaces that can tolerate it. The key is control. Incorrect pressure or technique can damage tiles, strip coatings, or disturb ridge work and junction points.
Manual Debris And Moss Removal
Before any wash, heavy debris and thick moss clumps often need to be removed manually, especially in valleys, shaded corners, and around roof junctions. Clearing this build-up helps restore drainage pathways, reduces overflow risk, and improves the overall result of the cleaning method used afterwards.

Need Roof Cleaning Before Painting Or Repairs?
If you’re planning roof painting, roof restoration, or repairs, roof cleaning is often the right first step. It removes build-up that can interfere with coatings and helps reveal.
What We Offer
Signs Your Roof Needs Cleaning
Some signs are obvious, like moss growing in shaded sections of the roof or thick build-up in valleys. Others are more subtle, such as lichen spotting that spreads over time, dark staining that makes the roof look tired, or debris that collects near edges and junctions.
If gutters overflow during heavy rain, roof debris and moss breakdown can be part of the problem. Build-up on the roof can wash down and block gutters and downpipes, which can lead to overflow and water running back towards the home. Keeping the roof surface clear helps drainage work as intended.
Roof cleaning can also be a smart preventative step if you’re seeing water sitting where it shouldn’t, especially around valleys or behind moss build-up. Clearing those pathways helps water move off the roof and away from the home more reliably.
Dependable & Sincere Company
Should You Clean Your Roof Yourself Or Hire A Professional?
Roof cleaning looks simple until you’re up there. Wet roof surfaces can be slippery, roof pitches vary, and the risk of injury is real. On top of safety, the biggest risk is damage. High pressure in the wrong hands can crack tiles, strip finishes, or disturb ridge work. Even small mistakes around flashings and junctions can create leaks later.
Professional roof cleaning means the method matches the roof material, the site is protected properly, and the clean-up is handled carefully. If your roof already has fragile sections, visible damage, or recurring leaks, it’s especially important to have the roof assessed before any cleaning begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our services right here.
What is the best way to clean a roof?
The best method depends on the roof type and condition. Some roofs are better suited to soft washing, while others can handle controlled pressure cleaning. The safest option is the one that removes growth without damaging the roof surface.
Is roof pressure cleaning safe for tiled roofs?
It can be safe when done correctly, but it needs control and careful technique. Some tiled roofs are better suited to softer methods, especially if the roof is older or the surface is fragile.
What is soft washing, and when is it better than pressure cleaning?
Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning treatment to break down organic growth like algae and help reduce regrowth. It’s often better for delicate or older roofs where high pressure carries more risk.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary depending on roof size, pitch, access, roof material, and the level of build-up. The best way to get an accurate price is a quick inspection and a clear quote.
How long does roof cleaning take?
Many residential roof cleans can be completed within a day, but timing depends on roof size, access, and the method required.
Will roof cleaning stop moss from coming back?
Cleaning helps remove current growth and can slow regrowth, but shaded areas and moisture conditions can still allow moss to return over time. We can advise on realistic maintenance timing.
