Roof cleaning on the Gold Coast covers homes from the beachfront to the hinterland, where shade and damp let moss and lichen settle fast. We clear moss, lichen, mould and black staining from tile, Colorbond and metal roofs with a low-pressure soft wash, so the surface is cleaned rather than worn down.
It is booked before painting or restoration, before a sale or a new tenancy, or because the roof has darkened.
“We had a pipe burst in our ceiling, water seeped into our walls and our unit was at a very high risk for mould :( Guosheng worked tirelessly to ensure the drying process went as smooth as possible, even working until the evening on a Friday to ensure our walls would be dry and safe over the weekend! An extremely proficient and productive company that thrives on providing excellent service and quality work. Thank you so much for all of your help! <3”
“Guosheng from Elite Restoration did an amazing job dealing with the water damage to my unit, due to a burst pipe. Nothing was too hard and Guosheng had multiple tricks up his sleeve to ensure maximum drying capacity. The communication throughout the whole process was excellent, which made this very stressful situation for me a lot easier to handle. Thanks so much Guosheng.☺️”
A hard jet strips the glaze from terracotta and the coating from cement tiles, and a stripped tile soaks up water and grows back faster. On Colorbond, both a hard jet and harsh chemicals can damage the factory finish. A soft wash avoids all three problems: the solution does the work, and the rinse is gentle.
How the job runs
The quote is set by the size, type and access of the roof.
If you are on tank water, tell us when you book so the tank downpipes can be diverted. Garden beds below are protected.
The soft wash is applied and left to work on the growth.
A low-pressure rinse carries it off.
Gutters and downpipes are checked afterwards, because that is where the loose growth ends up.
On older roofs, the clean also makes cracked or slipped tiles easy to spot, and we point out any we see.
Before painting or restoration
Roof paint and coatings won’t bond to moss, lichen or chalky residue. If a repaint is planned, the clean comes first.

Gold Coast roof cleaning questions
Can you clean a Colorbond roof?
Yes. Colorbond and other metal roofs are soft washed, with no hard jet on the finish.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
It depends on shade and trees. When moss or dark staining is visible from the street, it is due.
How is it priced?
By the roof’s size, type and access. The quote gives you the price before we start.
