Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Your roof is one of the most exposed parts of your home—constantly under sun, rain, wind, tree-shade, mould and moss. A dirty or neglected roof can:

  • Reduce curb-appeal and make your home look older
  • Cause moss, lichen, algae or mould to creep under tiles or ridges and shorten roof life
  • Trap debris in gutters, flashing and valleys increasing risk of leaks
  • Affect insulation/ventilation performance (especially on metal or Colorbond roofs)
  • Lead to slippery surfaces or blocked drainage which can cause overflow or damage

At Ultra Exterior Cleaning we believe a clean roof isn’t just cosmetic — it’s good maintenance. We combine specialist techniques (soft washing + pressure cleaning) to safely restore your roof so it looks great and lasts longer.

Our Roof Cleaning Solutions

We tailor our approach depending on roof material, pitch, exposure and condition. Below is an overview of how we treat different roof types — and how we decide whether soft washing or pressure cleaning (or a combination) is best.

Roof Types We Clean

Colourbond
These are common across Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula. They’re durable, but can still accumulate mould, moss and salt-air residue (especially near bayside areas). A low-pressure surface clean + safe chemical treatment will remove contaminants without damaging paint or seams.

Terracotta
These have a porous surface and can trap moss, lichen, bird droppings and leaf debris. Cleaning must be done gently so as not to crack or dislodge tiles. Soft-wash methods are often preferred, high pressure can risk damage.

Tile roofs
Similar to terracotta in many ways, cleaning involves removing moss/algae growth and repainting or re-sealing if required. Our team inspects condition, performs gentle wash, clears valleys and ensures the result is tidy and water-running correctly.

Slate, heritage or specialty roofs
If you have heritage or non-standard materials we’re experienced in managing them with extra care, non-slip access, scaffold or safety harnesses, and low-impact cleaning.

Soft Washing vs Pressure Cleaning

We use both, but key is choosing the right method for the job:

  • Soft washing uses low water-pressure plus specialist cleaning solutions (biodegradable where possible) to gently break down mould, algae, moss and grime. Ideal for delicate surfaces like tile, render, weather-boards and metal with paints. As your site states: “Soft washing uses low pressure and special cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, mould and grime. … It’s perfect for delicate surfaces …” ultraexteriorcleaning.com.au+1
  • Pressure cleaning uses higher-pressure water flow to blast away tough stains, built-up grime or heavily soiled hard surfaces. It’s more suited to very robust roofs or metal roofs in good condition. But used on tile roofs with caution because of risk of damage. As a house-washing competitor states: “Pressure washing can remove moss, algae … but high pressure roof cleaning often doesn’t go that deep … and brute force can cause cracks in the tiles.” Melbourne Pressure Cleaning Pros

At Ultra we conduct a pre-inspection to decide which combination works best for your roof, balancing effectiveness and safety.
