Why It’s Better to Trust a Licensed Roofer With Your Roof Clean
Your roof is one of the most important structures of your home, and improper cleaning can do more harm than good. While hiring a general cleaner or pressure washing service might seem like a quick fix, they may lack the expertise needed to clean your roof safely and effectively. A licensed roofer, on the other hand, understands how roofing materials react to different cleaning methods and ensures your roof stays in top condition.
The Risks of Using an Unqualified Cleaner
- High-pressure damage: We used specialist equipment designed specifically for roof tile use. This means all grime and dirt is dislodged gently and effectively. Excessive pressure on fragile tiles can lead to cracks, dislodging, or even leaks.
- Ineffective cleaning: Without the right treatments, moss and lichen can regrow quickly, leaving you needing another clean sooner than expected. We treat your roof with multiple cleaners and sterilizing agents to ensure your wash lasts for the long haul.
- Missed roof issues: Roofers know how to address any underlying issues that arise. A cleaner will likely miss underlying roof problems like deteriorated pointing or cracked flashing, leaving hidden damage unchecked.
- Safety concerns: Roofing requires specialisd safety protocols that general cleaning teams may not be trained for, increasing the risk of accidents.

Make An Informed Decision for Your Roof
With high-quality tiles, a fresh new roof offers excellent reflective properties to prevent UV light from penetrating your home, keeping you comfortable and temperate.
Your tiles are a physical barrier for falling trees, hail, or pests such as rats, possums, and birds from nesting in your attic. An uncompromised roof also protects your insulation.
Your roof is an essential barrier to the external environment, working in tangent with your ventilation to prevent pollutants and allergens from entering your living space.
With many residential building inspections failing on the roof, a new roof adds significant value to your home.
An immediate consideration is that foot traffic, including gutter cleaning, solar installations, etc., can cause roof tile cracks. A qualified roofer can immediately replace cracked tiles before any further damage starts.
Within as soon as ten years, the pointing of your roof can start showing signs of cracking (further worsened by foot traffic). A quick pointing touch-up is a simple way to prevent further damage.
Within ten years, the first signs of moss and lichen will start to show (particularly in moist environments). A periodic powerwash is the best way to keep your roof looking fresh.
Usually one of the first things to go, your ridge cap end tile can start to feel the weight of gravity and begin to slide. This is an easy fix at this stage.
More extensively cracked and peeling ridge pointing will start to show, exposing the mortar under your hip tiles (ridge caps). Should you address the issue soon enough, a qualified roofer could save the bedding with a cost-effective pointing touch-up.
Your roof’s flashings can become dislodged over time and may need replacement. A simple installation of a lead-free, adhesive flashing is a cost-effective way to prevent further damage.
At a minimum, we recommend a roofing inspection of your roof to have any routine maintenance complete and ensure your roof is in functional condition.
Moss and lichen will continue to grow, making your roof look lacklustre and contributing to cracking of your pointing. A simple roof clean by an expert is a great way to nip this issue in the bud.
If your end ridge tile is not addressed soon, it can continue to slide and allow the tiles it sits on to begin to slide into your gutter.
Ridge caps are likely loose at this point. When this occurs, complete cleaning and replacing bedding cement is required to ensure the ridges are refastened and stay in place.
If left unattended, the pointing of your ridge caps (at a bare minimum) needs replacing to keep your ridge caps secure.
With age, all roofs will lose their colour/glaze. Restoring this is for cosmetic purposes, but when all maintenance is completed, followed by re-sealing and painting, it will add a new lease of life to an old, bland roof.
By this stage, your end cap could have continued to slide off, leaving no weight on its under tiles. This not only looks terrible but also allows water ingress.
At this point, your roof may be beyond repair. Moss could have penetrated under your tiles, unattended mechanical stress could leave your tiles riddled with cracks, and your ridge caps likely need complete repair. Unfortunately, complete reroofing may be the only solution.
The roof tiles are designed to allow rain to run freely off your roof and into your gutter to prevent pooling on your roof’s surface.
Your roof’s valleys act as a securely sealed, free-flowing channel to allow stormwater to run seamlessly into your gutters.
The ridges of your roof are fastened with bedding cement and sealed with pointing mortar to prevent water ingress.
Flashings are small pieces of metal placed around your roof’s joints to act as a tight and secure waterproofing barrier.
Strong winds caused by storms can dislodge valley tiles. Having an expert roofer clip these back into place is an easy and cost-effective way to avoid further damage.
Within ten years, debris and organic matter will start to fill in your gutter, increasing the chances of rust and water overflow. A simple, quick emptying of your gutter is the best way to avoid any issues.
Any cracked and unattended pointing will start to make your roof vulnerable to water ingress, with a high chance of leaks beginning to move through your ceiling and into your attic.
Flashings aged 20 years are highly sensitive to wind gusts, proving a prime access point for water infiltration.
At the 20-year mark, multiple roof tiles are likely to become dislodged. Having an expert lock them in place is a simple way to prevent leaks.
At this point, unattended leaks are already soaking your ceiling insulation, making it an excellent breeding ground for mould and rendering the insulation effectively useless.
If exposed to moisture, your ceiling insulation has heavily degraded and is likely full of mould. Degraded insulation is an excellent breeding ground for mould and could be promptly replaced to keep your indoor space healthy and comfortable.
Unattended ridge caps with deteriorated pointing and bedding are a leading reason for water ingress and leaks coming through your ceiling.
Any unattended leaks will show on your ceiling and walls as yellow stains and mould. An expert professionally treating your home for mould and water stains is costly…
Unattended leaks are a significant electrical hazard and could be dripping onto electricals. If exposed to water, this poses a considerable fire risk and likely needs complete replacement.
An unattended roof will likely allow multiple entry points for water ingress into your ceiling. Wood rot of your trusses could be a significant issue at this point, and the plaster of your ceiling may need complete replacement.
