Toowoomba’s cool highland climate and leafy streets are kind to moss and lichen, and roofs show it, especially on the shaded side. Roof cleaning removes moss, lichen, mould and staining from tile, Colorbond and metal roofs with a low-pressure soft wash that leaves the surface intact.
It is booked before painting or restoration, for a sale or a lease, or when the roof has turned green under the trees.
“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.☺️”
Moss holds moisture against the roof, and lichen grips the surface as it grows. Blasting either off with high pressure does damage of its own:
Terracotta tiles carry a glaze. Strip it and the tile turns porous, holds water and grows back faster.
Cement and concrete tiles rely on a surface coating that high pressure wears away just as quickly.
Colorbond and other metal roofs have a factory finish that harsh chemicals and a hard jet can both damage.
A soft wash kills the growth with a cleaning solution and rinses it away at low pressure.
The job, step by step
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 the roofline are protected. In a garden city, that matters.
The soft wash goes on, is left to work, and is rinsed off at low pressure.
Gutters and downpipes are checked, since the loose growth ends up there.

Toowoomba roof cleaning questions
Can roof cleaning damage my roof?
High pressure can. A low-pressure soft wash cleans without stripping the glaze or coating.
What happens to my rainwater tank?
Tell us when you book, and the downpipes feeding it are diverted during the clean.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Shaded roofs under trees grow back fastest. When moss shows from the street, it is due.
