Roof & Gutter Cleaning Melbourne

A concrete roof tile has a factory glaze on its surface. High pressure takes that glaze off, and the tile beneath is porous — it soaks up water, grows moss faster than it did before, and degrades. On terracotta, high pressure chips edges and cracks tiles. On any tiled roof, water driven up under the laps ends up in the ceiling cavity.

Soft washing applies a treatment at low pressure and lets the chemistry kill the moss and lichen. The growth dies off and weathers away over the following weeks. It is slower to fully reveal than a pressure blast, and it is the only method that does not shorten the life of the roof.

A gutter packed with leaf litter and tile grit does not drain. In heavy rain it overflows back under the fascia and into the eaves, and in summer that same dry litter is an ember risk. Box gutters on commercial buildings are worse again, because a blocked box gutter has nowhere to overflow except inside the building.

We clear gutters, valleys and downpipes by hand and by vacuum, flush-test the downpipes, and send you photos of each run before and after — so you are looking at evidence rather than taking our word for it.

Roof and gutter work is height work. We are fully insured, use appropriate anchor points, harnesses and edge protection, and will use an EWP where the pitch, height or access makes it the right call. For commercial buildings we can provide SWMS and insurance certificates ahead of attending.
