What's really growing on Broadmeadows roofs
Broadmeadows' flat, open streets give roofs little tree shade in many pockets, which means less moss than a leafy suburb but more airborne dust and grime settling directly onto concrete tile under constant sun exposure. Over time that grime, combined with algae in shaded gutter corners, leaves an uneven, dull finish across the roof. A roof clean strips off the build-up, clears gutters and valleys, and leaves the surface ready for a repaint or restoration if the tiles are due for one.
Broadmeadows' open, less-shaded blocks mean roofs collect airborne dust and grime fairly evenly across the whole surface, rather than moss concentrating on one shaded pitch.

The process
How a True Roof soft wash works
2
Treat
A biocide treatment is applied so moss and lichen are killed at the root, not just wiped off the top.
3
Soft wash
Low-pressure washing lifts the dead growth and grime without driving water under the tiles or stripping the surface.
4
Clear & check
We flush the wash debris out of the gutters and do a final check so you are left with a clean roof and clear downpipes.
Roof types in Broadmeadows
Soft washing suits terracotta and concrete tile roofs and older, more fragile tiles that high pressure would damage. Colorbond and metal roofs are washed even more gently. If a roof is due for more than a clean, we will flag whether sealing or restoration is the better spend.
Our standard
Our cleaning crews are fully insured, and any repair work we recommend is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty.

Moss is not cosmetic. It is structural damage in slow motion.
Lichen and moss anchor into tile surfaces and hold moisture against them 24 hours a day. That constant dampness accelerates freeze-thaw micro-cracking through Melbourne winters, erodes pointing mortar, and quietly voids the tile manufacturer's warranty. Most homeowners find out the hard way when tiles start fracturing or when their insurer queries maintenance records after a claim. A soft wash costs a fraction of one tile replacement row and it buys back years of tile life.

What Melbourne homeowners say
Broadmeadows roof cleaning — your questions
Yes — even without heavy moss, sun-exposed roofs in Broadmeadows still accumulate dust and grime that dulls the tile coating and can shorten its lifespan if left untreated.
We use low-pressure methods suited to your roof type, which avoids the tile cracking that high-pressure water blasting can cause on older or worn concrete tile.
With less tree cover than other suburbs, most Broadmeadows roofs can go 3 to 4 years between cleans, though gutters should still be checked more regularly.
