Roof cleaning for St Ives homes
St Ives is in the Ku-ring-gai Council area, about 25 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Concrete tile and terracotta roofs are common, and so is the moss on their shaded side. Concrete tiles can take more pressure than terracotta, but we still treat first so the growth comes away at a lower pressure and the tiles aren't worn further.
Overhanging trees drop leaves onto the roof and keep it damp, which is perfect for moss and lichen. The treatment kills both off over about 12 months, and the gutters are worth clearing once the dead growth has come away.
Large roofs on modern homes often have solar panels and skylights. We treat around them and can clean the panels in the same visit.
Concrete tiles lose their surface coating over the years and get porous, which is when moss and lichen take hold.
How often in St Ives
For most St Ives homes, roofs is worth doing every 4 to 6 years. Shade, leaf litter and damp bring growth back sooner.
What affects the quote in St Ives
- Bush debris: gutters and roofs may need clearing before washing.
- Tree canopy: leaf litter and tannin stains often need a separate treatment.

Our method
How we handle roofs
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Roof inspection
We check for broken tiles, loose capping and fragile areas from the ground and the roof, and photograph anything you should know about.
He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.
Step 02 of 04
Apply the treatment
The treatment is applied to the moss, mould and lichen across the roof, at low pressure from the ridge down.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Leave it to work
It isn't rinsed off. Rain carries the treatment deeper into the growth over the following months.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.
Step 04 of 04
Killed off over 12 months
Moss, mould and lichen die back and weather off over about a year. The roof gets cleaner month by month.

Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.
Nathan did an incredible job at my home cleaning all my outdoor paving areas. He even washed some extra areas of my house free of charge and his price was very reasonable. He's a lovely fella and was prompt, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nathan's services.
Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.
