Moss Roof Treatment & Roof Cleaning in Wendouree

Wendouree has a wide mix of older homes, established properties and newer roof types, including terracotta tile, cement tile, slate and Colorbond roofing. Ballarat’s cool, damp climate can cause moss, mould, lichen and algae to grow across roof surfaces over time.

Moss Roof Treatment is designed to kill growth at the source without damaging the roof surface. Our treatment can be applied to a wide range of exterior roofing materials, including Colorbond, cement tiles, terracotta tiles, slate tiles, Laserlite and solar panel surfaces.

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 Wendouree 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.

Why Terracotta Roofs in Wendouree Should Be Treated for Moss & Lichen

Terracotta roofs are especially prone to moss, lichen, mould and algae growth. The textured surface of terracotta tiles can hold moisture, which allows growth to spread across the roof over time.

If left untreated, moss and lichen can make a terracotta roof look tired and neglected. More importantly, heavy growth can hold moisture against the tile surface, block valleys and gutters, and add unnecessary weight to the roof. Over time, this can contribute to poor water flow, staining, surface wear and a greater chance of roof maintenance issues.

Moss and lichen can also grow around tile overlaps, ridge capping and hard-to-clean areas. This is why gentle treatment is often a better option than aggressive pressure washing, especially on older terracotta roofs where tiles, mortar and roof coatings may already be fragile.

Testimonials

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"
