Roof Cleaning Sydney
Trusted Roof Cleaning Experts in Sydney
If your roof’s starting to look tired, stained or overrun with moss and grime, you’re not alone — Sydney’s unpredictable weather and coastal air take a real toll on our homes. At SS House Washing and Pressure Washing Sydney, we’ve been cleaning roofs across the city for over 20 years, helping homeowners bring their properties back to life.
Roofs cop everything — rain, wind, pollution, bird droppings, and more. When moisture gets trapped, especially in shaded areas, it creates the perfect environment for things like mould, moss, lichen, and algae to take over. One common culprit we often see is gloeocapsa magma — it’s that dark streaky staining you’ll notice on tiled roofs. Left alone, all this buildup doesn’t just look bad – it can actually damage your roof, leading to cracks, leaks and expensive repairs down the track.
Whether your roof is tiled, metal, Colorbond or otherwise, regular professional cleaning isn’t just about keeping things looking fresh — it’s about protecting your investment. And at SS House Washing, we make it easy. Our experienced team offers gentle but thorough roof washing services right across Sydney, using the latest soft washing and pressure cleaning equipment to get results without causing any damage.
We can also clean your gutters while we’re up there — no need to book multiple services. Clean gutters not only prevent overflow and water damage, but they also help your whole home look more polished.
What makes us different? We’re straightforward, we turn up on time, and we treat your home like it’s our own. We keep our prices fair and transparent, and we never upsell what you don’t need. That’s how we’ve earned the trust of so many locals over the years.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters in Sydney
Roofs in Sydney take a beating. Between salty sea air, heavy rain, humidity, and the general pollution that comes with city life, it’s no surprise that mould, lichen, algae, and dirt build up fast. If left untreated, all that grime doesn’t just make your home look uncared for — it can eat away at your roof, clog your gutters, and lead to leaks, cracked tiles, and expensive repairs.
At SS House Washing and Pressure Washing Sydney, we specialise in professional roof cleaning services across Sydney that are safe, effective, and designed to give your roof a longer life. Our soft wash and pressure cleaning techniques remove the mess without damaging your tiles or paintwork — and we always work around what your specific roof needs.
Regular roof washing is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. It improves street appeal, helps prevent long-term structural damage, and keeps your home looking fresh. Many Sydney homeowners don’t realise how much a clean roof can lift the whole look of their property — until we show them the before-and-after.
We also clean gutters while we’re there, making sure water flows freely and you’re not caught out during storm season. No need for multiple trades. Just one local team that gets the job done properly.
Whether you’re in the Inner West, Northern Beaches, Hills District or anywhere across greater Sydney, we’ve got you covered.
Complete Metal Roof & Tile Roof Cleaning Sydney
Is your roof covered in moss, or generally looking tired and dull? SS House Washing and Pressure Washing Sydney can make it look brand new again without having to paint or coat it with our roof pressure washing service!
The most common metal or tiled roof degradation that we see in Sydney is the slow build-up of sheets of soft moss and mould on any type of roofing. Bore stains come to the surface when we use groundwater to water our plants via irrigation. Our professional roof cleaning hose uses a hot water cleaner to clean the roof which strips growth off the tiles and kills the spores with heat.
Whatever material of the roof, it could be colorbond metal or terracotta tile, our attention to detail covers every inch. Once we start cleaning, we clean each tile, ridge capping, and dangerous edge, and then leave your gutters clean and empty of dirt. Once the roof power washing cleaner is completed, we apply a barrier treatment to prevent any regrowth from occurring. Our stain remover will be the answer!
We offer roof cleaning and soft roof washing services for different types of roofs, including:
- Roof shingles
- Steel/metal roofing
- Terracotta roof tiles
- Concrete roof tiles
- Asphalt roofs
- Slate roof tiles
- Stone slab roofs
Roof Cleaning with Soft Washing – Sydney Locals Trust Us
If your roof’s looking a bit worse for wear, you’re not alone. Living in Sydney, it’s easy for dirt, mould, moss, and algae to build up fast — especially after all the wet weather we’ve had. At SS House Washing & Pressure Cleaning, we use a safer, more reliable method to get things back in shape. It’s called soft washing, and it’s the better way to clean your roof without causing damage.
Instead of blasting high-pressure water that can crack tiles or peel off paint, soft washing uses a low-pressure spray and a cleaning solution that actually breaks down the muck and kills the mould at the roots. We don’t just rinse the surface — we treat the problem properly so it stays away longer.
It’s perfect for older roofs, delicate materials, or any home that’s copped years of Sydney weather. You’d be surprised how much a proper clean can lift the look of your place — and it’s not just cosmetic. By removing harmful growth early, you’re protecting your roof from long-term damage and saving yourself money down the line.
We’re local, we know the conditions here, and we don’t cut corners. If you want your roof cleaned right — no pressure, no damage, no stress — give us a call on 0414 556 216.
We’ll give you a fair quote and straight-up advice. No gimmicks. Just solid results from a local Sydney team that cares.
How Our Typical Roof Cleaning Process Works
At SS House Washing and Pressure Washing Sydney, we keep it simple. No gimmicks, no sales talk — just a proper clean, done with care.
1. First, We Have a Quick Chat
We’ll start with a walk around your place and a quick chat to understand exactly what needs doing. Every house is different, so we take the time to look closely at the surfaces, spot any areas that need extra attention, and talk through the best approach with you. It’s all about doing the job right from the get-go.
2. Picking the Best Cleaning Method
Some homes need a soft touch, others need a bit more muscle. If your place has painted surfaces, weatherboards or delicate finishes, we’ll use our soft house washing method — gentle pressure, soft brushes, and the right cleaning solution. For driveways, concrete or built-up grime, we’ll bring out the pressure gear and give it a proper blast.
3. Getting Set Up
Before we start spraying water around, we prep everything. That means covering your plants, shifting outdoor furniture, and checking that all doors and windows are sealed tight. We treat your place with the same care we’d want at our own.
4. The Clean Itself
Now we get to work. We use safe, eco-friendly cleaning products to break down mould, dirt, and stains, and then rinse it all away. Whether it’s your exterior walls, driveway, patio, or fence — we make sure every surface gets the attention it deserves.
5. We Don’t Miss the Details
Gutters, downpipes, eaves, window trims — all those spots most people overlook? We clean those too. The goal is a full exterior refresh, not just a quick spray and leave.
6. Final Check
Once the job’s done, we don’t just pack up and go. We do a final check of the property ourselves. If something needs a second go, we sort it on the spot. No fuss.
7. We Show You the Results
Before we leave, we’ll walk through the job with you so you can see the results for yourself. If anything’s not quite right, we’ll take care of it. We don’t leave until you’re completely happy.

Roof Cleaning Sydney – FAQs
SS House Washing and Pressure Washing Sydney
How will you clean my roof?
We use soft washing — a safe, low-pressure cleaning method combined with an eco-friendly solution to gently remove mould, dirt, algae, and grime without damaging your tiles or roof surface.
What are those black streaks on my roof?
They’re usually caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It thrives in moist environments and can damage your roof over time. Soft washing removes it at the root.
How long does roof cleaning take?
Most residential jobs are done within a day. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer, but we’ll always give you an accurate time estimate before we begin.
Will your cleaning solutions harm my garden or plants?
No — we take steps to protect your garden during the clean. Our team pre-wets nearby plants, uses plant-safe solutions, and rinses thoroughly to avoid any harm.
How soon will the mould return after a roof clean?
Typically, roofs stay clean for 12–24 months depending on the location and tree cover. Regular maintenance can help extend the results.
Can you clean just part of my roof?
Yes, we’re happy to quote for partial roof cleaning if only a section of your roof needs attention.
What makes you different from other companies?
We’re local, fully insured, turn up when we say we will, and genuinely care about the quality of our work. No upselling, no shortcuts — just honest service.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not at all. As long as we have access to the roof and a water source, you don’t need to be there. We’ll handle everything safely and responsibly.

Yes! We also clean driveways, gutters, patios, walls, decks and more — using both soft and pressure cleaning methods.
