Ballarat and the surrounding suburbs are some of the most common areas we service. The region’s cool, damp climate creates ideal conditions for moss, mould, lichen and algae to grow on roof surfaces, especially on older terracotta tile, cement tile, slate and Colorbond roofs.
Many Ballarat homes have roofs that are 10–60+ years old. These older roof surfaces can become fragile over time, making harsh pressure washing a risky option. Our moss roof treatment is designed to kill growth at the source while being gentle on the roof surface.
Instead of blasting the roof with high pressure, we apply a soft wash moss treatment that works over time. The dead moss, mould and lichen gradually break down and wash away naturally, helping restore the appearance of your roof without unnecessary surface damage.
Watch how our moss roof treatment is applied to safely treat moss, mould, lichen and algae on roof surfaces.
Our soft wash treatment is designed to kill the growth at the source without relying on harsh high-pressure roof washing. This makes it a practical option for many Ballarat homes, especially older terracotta, cement tile, slate and Colorbond roofs where pressure washing may risk damage.
The product we use is water-based, biodegradable, non-corrosive, pH neutral and non-toxic. Once applied, the treatment continues working over time as the dead moss, mould and lichen gradually break down and wash away naturally.
Moss treatment is a safer and more effective long-term option for many Ballarat roofs compared with traditional pressure cleaning. While pressure washing may remove visible surface growth, it can also damage older tiles, fragile roof coatings, mortar, ridge capping and other roof materials.
Our treatment works by targeting moss, mould, lichen and algae at the source. Once treated, the growth dies off and gradually weathers away, helping the roof clean up naturally over time.
We have treated terracotta roofs that have remained moss-free for many years, showing how effective the right treatment can be when applied properly. It is a gentle, preventative approach that helps protect your roof’s appearance and condition for the long term.

Feedback from customers across Victoria.
"We were very impressed with the whole process and Connor was both an excellent tradesman and communicator. He was also prepared to do a couple of extra tasks, like cleaning out the spout on my shed and spraying an extra section of spouting that looked a bit affected by moss. We can't really comment on the result yet as it takes time for the chemical to do its work but the early indications are that it is starting to do its job. - Graham"
