Moss Prevention Cleaning Perth

Q: Should I clean my roof before it’s resprayed or sealed?

Yes, a roof needs to be properly cleaned before any respray, paint or sealer goes on. Coatings won’t bond to moss, lichen, mould or chalky residue, so a thorough clean and treatment beforehand is what makes the new coating last. Read the full answer

Q: Should I seal or paint my roof after it’s cleaned?

Usually you don’t need to. For most roofs, a clean followed by a moss and lichen prevention treatment gives a great result. Sealing or painting tiles is mainly worth it if they’re badly weathered or you want to change the colour, and it must be done on a properly cleaned roof. Read the full answer

Q: What’s growing on my roof: moss, lichen, mould or algae?

Green, fluffy clumps are usually moss. Flat, crusty grey, white or orange spots are lichen. Black streaks and dark staining across tiles or along Colorbond ridges are normally mould or algae. All four are living growth, and all four are removed with a soft wash and a treatment that kills them at the root. Read the full answer

Q: How do you remove lichen from roof tiles without damaging them?

The safest way is a soft wash: a low-pressure application of a cleaning solution that kills the lichen so it releases from the tile, followed by a gentle rinse. High-pressure blasting can strip the surface of older tiles, crack them, and push water under the roof, so we avoid it on fragile tiles. Read the full answer

Q: Will moss and lichen come back after my roof is cleaned?

Eventually, yes, because Perth’s winters, shade and nearby trees keep feeding new growth. A prevention treatment applied after the clean slows regrowth considerably, so most roofs stay clean for years rather than months. No honest roof cleaner can promise it will never return. Read the full answer

Q: Why is moss prevention cleaning important in Perth?

Moss traps moisture, which can damage tiles and encourage leaks. In Perth, the winter rains and shaded areas create the perfect environment for moss growth. By investing in moss prevention cleaning, you protect your home and avoid costly repairs in the future. Read the full answer

Q: How often should I book moss prevention cleaning in Perth?

Most Perth homes benefit from moss prevention cleaning every years, depending on roof type and exposure. Homes near trees or in shaded areas may need it more often. Regular cleaning keeps moss from spreading and extends the life of your roof. Read the full answer

Ask A Question

Can old terracotta or clay roof tiles be cleaned safely?

Yes. Older terracotta and clay tiles clean up very well with a soft wash, which avoids the high pressure that can crack brittle tiles or wear away their surface. We inspect the roof first and walk it carefully, so tiles from the 1950s to the 1990s, and imported tiles that can’t easily be replaced, are treated gently.
