Roof Cleaning in Mackay

Mould, algae and built-up grime can leave your roof looking dark and tired. We Wash Houses Mackay provides roof cleaning for homes across Mackay and surrounding suburbs, including Colorbond, painted and tile roofs. We assess the condition of each roof before choosing the cleaning method.

Whether you want to freshen up your home or deal with years of visible build-up, tell us about your roof and we’ll help you work out the next step. Solar panel cleaning can also be included in your enquiry.

Let your roof lift the look of your home

A roof darkened by mould and grime can change the look of the whole house. We clean Colorbond, painted and tile roofs around Mackay, assessing their condition before choosing the cleaning method.

Cleaning for your roof type

Colorbond and painted roofs

Our Colorbond roof cleaning service uses professional soft washing techniques and pressure suited to the surface, with attention to the roof’s coating and finish. Painted roofs need their condition considered too. Our Eimeo project shows the work involved in removing established mould from a previously painted roof.

Find out about Colorbond roof cleaning.

Tile roofs

We use a soft wash system to clean tile roofs, including terracotta and slate. If you’re seeing moss, algae or grime on your tiles, send us photos and tell us about the roof so we can discuss the cleaning needed.

Solar panels

Our solar panel cleaning service gently removes dust, dirt and debris from the panel surfaces. Ask for it when requesting your roof quote if you would like both jobs considered together. Solar panel cleaning is a separate service to request, rather than an automatic inclusion in every roof clean.

How we approach roof cleaning

Assess the roof and plan the work

Every roof is different. We inspect its condition before deciding on the cleaning method. Roof pitch, painted surfaces and solar panels all need to be considered when planning access and the work. On our Walkerston job, the checks included roof sheets, screws, flashings, skylights and gutters.

Clean and treat the surface

The cleaning approach depends on the roof and the growth present. On the painted roof in Eimeo, treatment was applied to break down mould and organic growth before removal. On the Walkerston Colorbond roof, the work included removing the build-up, rinsing the roof and applying a mould treatment intended to slow regrowth.

Protect the water tank connection

If your roof feeds a water tank, we disconnect the inlet pipe to help keep cleaning solution and removed mould out of the tank. Let us know about any tank connections when you enquire.

Roof cleaning jobs around Mackay

Eimeo painted roof and solar panels

This job covered approximately 320 m² of painted roof with a 25-degree pitch and established mould growth. The size, slope and solar panels called for careful planning. We treated and removed the organic build-up, and cleaned the solar panels at the customer’s request.

Walkerston Colorbond roof

Heavy black mould and grime had darkened the roof sheets on this Walkerston home. After checking the roof’s condition, we cleaned and rinsed the surface, then applied a mould treatment. The project photos show the roof during the clean and the finished result.
