Roofs don’t usually look dirty all at once. It happens slowly. Dark patches spread across tiles. Lichen creeps along the edges. Gutters catch debris faster than they should. And from the ground, the roof just looks… tired.
In Adelaide, this is common. Dry dust settles for months, then winter moisture lets moss and lichen take hold. Near the coast, salt adds another layer of wear. Left alone, it’s not just about appearance anymore; it starts to affect drainage, surface life, and long-term roof condition.
So you start looking for roof cleaning. Not aggressive blasting that damages tiles. Not scare tactics about mould. Just a safe, sensible, clean done the right way.
That’s exactly how we approach roof cleaning in Adelaide.

What Roofs in Adelaide Usually Struggle With
Most roof issues we see are climate-related:
- Lichen and moss growth after wet seasons
- Dust buildup from dry summers
- Salt residue in coastal suburbs
- Blocked valleys and gutters
- Discolouration that makes roofs look older than they are
These problems don’t mean the roof is failing. They usually mean it hasn’t been cleaned properly or safely before.
How We Actually Clean Roofs
Unlike surfaces such as driveways and concrete that benefit from pressure cleaning, roofs require a more controlled cleaning method.We choose the method based on roof type, condition, and age.
Tile Roof Cleaning
Tile roofs need care:
- Gentle removal of moss and lichen
- Controlled cleaning to avoid cracking or lifting tiles
- Rinse methods that protect the tile surface
High pressure on tiles can shorten their lifespan. We avoid that.
Colorbond and Metal Roof Cleaning
Metal roofs need a different approach:
- Low-pressure washing
- Cleaning solutions that won’t damage coatings
- Careful work around screws, seams, and edges
Done properly, this restores appearance without harming protective layers.
Soft Washing (When Pressure Isn’t the Answer)
For many roofs, soft washing is the safest option:
- Low pressure
- Targeted cleaning solutions
- Time to lift grime naturally
It takes longer, but it protects the roof, and that matters more than speed. Because roof cleaning can leave residue or runoff, many homeowners also schedule window cleaning to keep exterior glass clear once the roof work is complete
