Moss, Lichen & Algae Removal — From $350+
What We Do
Moss, lichen and algae aren't just cosmetic problems on your roof — left untreated they break down roofing materials, trap moisture, cause leaks and water damage, and can significantly shorten your roof's lifespan by years. Professional roof cleaning removes this organic growth using a soft wash method safe for all tile types and extends your roof's protective life. Combined with a full gutter clean, roof cleaning is one of the highest-value exterior maintenance services for South East Melbourne homeowners.
Melbourne's moist climate and frequent shade create perfect conditions for roof growth. Suburbs like Emerald in the Dandenong Ranges with cooler, shadier properties experience accelerated moss buildup. Established areas like Berwick and Pakenham accumulate years of lichen. Even new roofs in Officer and Clyde develop algae quickly. Regular roof maintenance prevents expensive water damage and extends roof life by 5–10+ years.
