Roof cleaning in Ipswich clears moss, lichen, mould and black staining from tile, Colorbond and metal roofs, using a low-pressure soft wash that cleans the roof without stripping it. In a fast-growing region with plenty of homes changing hands, it is a common job before a sale or a new lease.
It is also the first step before a roof is painted or restored, because coatings don’t bond to growth.
“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 high-pressure jet takes the glaze off terracotta and the coating off cement tiles. Once that layer is gone the tile soaks up water and the moss returns sooner. Metal roofs have a factory finish that a hard jet and harsh chemicals can damage. A soft wash treats the growth with a cleaning solution and rinses it off gently.
How the job runs
The quote is set by the roof’s size, type and access.
On tank water? Tell us when you book so the tank downpipes can be diverted. Gardens below are protected.
The soft wash is applied and left to work.
A low-pressure rinse removes the growth.
Gutters and downpipes are checked afterwards.
A clean roof also makes problems easier to see. Cracked or slipped tiles that were hidden under moss are pointed out to you.
Lichen is the one to watch. It grips the surface as it spreads, and the longer it stays, the more of the finish it takes with it.

Ipswich roof cleaning questions
Do you use high pressure on tiles?
No. Tiles are soft washed to keep the glaze or coating intact.
Should the roof be cleaned before painting?
Yes. Paint won’t bond properly over moss, lichen or residue.
