Open Monday to SaturdayWhy moss and lichen have to go
Green moss and grey-white lichen do more than spoil the look of a roof. They hold moisture against the surface, which wears it down faster. They can lift tile edges and block water flow, and over time their roots can get into tiles and crack them.
Brisbane's heat and humidity grow them fast, especially on shaded or south-facing sections and under trees.
A soft wash puts down a cleaning solution that breaks the growth down, then rinses it off at low pressure, so your tiles and coatings stay intact.

Will it crack my tiles? No.
Brisbane's heat and humidity grow moss, lichen and algae on roofs fast. We soft wash it off instead of blasting the roof with high pressure.
| High-pressure washing | Our soft wash |
|---|---|
| A high-pressure jet blasts the surface | A cleaning solution does the work |
| Can crack tiles and strip coatings | A gentle, low-pressure rinse |
| Rough on older tiles and terracotta | Breaks down moss, lichen, mould and black streaks |
| Can void roof warranties | Safe on concrete tile, terracotta and Colorbond |

Roof Moss & Lichen Removal questions
Not answered here? Call 0480 808 362 and we'll talk it through.
How does moss damage my roof?
Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof, which wears it down faster. They can lift tile edges and block water flow, and over time their roots can get into tiles and crack them.
Will the moss come back?
In Brisbane's humidity, moss and lichen do grow back over time, especially on shaded roofs. That's why every 2 to 3 years is a typical cleaning interval for Brisbane homes.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
High-pressure washing can damage roofs, so we soft wash instead. We use lower pressure and specialised cleaning solutions to remove the growth without damaging tiles or coatings.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my garden?
Our cleaning solutions are eco-friendly and biodegradable, and we take care around your plants. We can also wet the garden beds down first as an extra precaution.
How often should I have my roof cleaned?
Every 2 to 3 years is typical for Brisbane homes. Roofs under heavy tree cover, or with shaded, south-facing sections, may need it more often.
