Professional Tile Roof Cleaning
Melbourne's tile roofs are constantly exposed to moisture, shade and organic growth that quietly degrades tiles over time. Professional tile roof cleaning removes all surface build-up — moss, lichen, algae, dirt and debris — restoring your roof's original appearance and extending its functional life.
At Golden Star, we select the right cleaning method for each roof individually. High-pressure washing suits most concrete tiles, while older or more fragile terracotta tiles benefit from soft-wash techniques that clean thoroughly without risk of damage.
Terracotta & Concrete Tiles
Melbourne homes feature two main tile types — each requiring a different approach to clean safely and effectively.
Concrete Tile Roofs
Concrete tiles are the most common roof type in Melbourne. They are durable and respond well to high-pressure cleaning, which efficiently removes heavy moss, lichen and decades of built-up grime. We typically clean concrete tile roofs using 2,500–3,000 PSI, carefully controlling pressure to clean without cracking aged tiles.
After cleaning, a moss inhibitor treatment is applied to prevent regrowth for up to 12 months. We also inspect all ridge caps — cracked pointing is a leading cause of water ingress and is easily addressed before it becomes a costly structural problem.
Terracotta Tile Roofs
Terracotta tiles are more porous and fragile than concrete, particularly on older Melbourne homes. High-pressure washing can crack or dislodge terracotta tiles if applied incorrectly. Our soft-wash technique uses lower pressure combined with specialist biodegradable detergents to dissolve and remove organic growth without physical force.
This method is gentler on the tile surface, preserves the natural terracotta colour, and is equally effective at removing moss and lichen. Results last just as long as high-pressure cleaning when paired with our prevention coating.
Moss & Lichen Treatment
Cleaning removes visible moss. Treatment eliminates it at the root and prevents it from coming back. For Melbourne tile roofs — where damp winters and shaded areas create perfect moss conditions — treatment is strongly recommended alongside every clean.
