Roof Cleaning Services Perth - Roof Washing & Lichen Removal

Professional roof cleaning services across Perth. Remove moss, algae and lichen from tiled roofs with safe roof washing and long-lasting treatments.

Roof Cleaning Is More Than Just Pressure Washing

Many people assume roof cleaning simply means blasting a roof with a pressure cleaner. In reality, using the wrong pressure or technique can permanently damage roof surfaces, strip protective coatings and even shorten the life of your roof.

At Jettin’ It Done, we choose the cleaning method based on the roofing material, its condition and the type of contamination. Every roof is assessed individually before work begins.

A roof covered in lichen needs a different approach to a dusty Colorbond roof. Moss, mould, leaf staining and built-up grime all respond differently, and the safest solution isn’t always the highest pressure.

Our goal is simple: remove contamination, protect the roof beneath it and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Every Roof Requires a Different Approach

Terracotta Tile Roof Cleaning

Terracotta roofs often require controlled pressure washing to remove heavy lichen and restore their natural appearance. The correct pressure, nozzle selection and cleaning technique are critical to achieving a great result without unnecessary damage.

Metal Roof Cleaning

Not all metal roofs are the same. Roof age, protective coatings and the type of contamination all influence the cleaning method. We use controlled pressure and appropriate techniques to remove dirt, mould and organic growth while protecting the roof’s surface wherever possible.

Concrete Tile Roof Cleaning

Pressure cleaning is the method of preparation for concrete tile roofs that are being repainted. By removing dirt, moss, lichen and loose surface material, it creates a clean surface for the new coating to bond correctly. Where a roof isn’t being painted, we carefully assess whether pressure cleaning or a lower-impact method is the better long-term option.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Not every roof needs to be pressure cleaned. Where appropriate, soft washing allows us to remove organic growth using specialised cleaning solutions instead of relying on high pressure alone. This lower-impact method helps preserve the roof’s surface while still delivering excellent cleaning results. Every roof is assessed individually so we can recommend the method best suited to its material, condition and long-term performance.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters in Perth’s Climate

Perth’s hot summers, winter rain and airborne contaminants create the perfect conditions for roofs to accumulate dirt, lichen, moss and algae. Left untreated, this build-up doesn’t just affect your home’s appearance—it can shorten the life of your roof and lead to expensive repairs.

Professional roof cleaning is preventative maintenance. By removing biological growth before permanent damage occurs, you can help protect your roof, improve its appearance and extend the life of its materials.

Signs Your Roof Needs Attention

Heavy lichen, moss or algae growth
Overflowing or blocked gutters and valleys
Black staining or discoloured roof surfaces
Rust developing on gutters, flashings or valleys
Reduced solar panel performance from dirt build-up
Roof hasn’t been professionally cleaned in several years

Don’t wait until small problems become expensive repairs.

How Lichen Damages More Than Just Roof Tiles

Most people think lichen is only a cosmetic problem. In reality, long-term lichen growth can damage several parts of your roof. As lichen grows, it produces organic acids that are carried across the roof during dew and rainfall. Over many years, these acids can attack the protective zinc coating on galvanised steel components. Once that protective layer is lost, the exposed steel begins to corrode.
Not every roof with lichen will develop rust, but the risk increases significantly the longer it is left untreated. Regular roof cleaning removes the source of the problem before permanent damage occurs.

Colourbond Roof Damaged by Lichen

Long-term lichen growth can permanently damage painted roof coatings if left untreated.

Rusted Apron Flashing

Roof flashings are particularly vulnerable where acidic runoff repeatedly concentrates.

Rusted Roof Sheet

Leaves and organic debris trapped water against this roof sheet, leading to corrosion over time.

Rusted Valley Flashing

Acidic runoff has stripped the galvanised coating from this valley flashing, exposing the steel beneath.

Rusted Gutter

Heavy lichen growth can shorten the life of gutters by attacking their protective coating.

Rusted Downpipe

Years of acidic runoff from roof lichen have corroded this galvanised steel downpipe.
