We tailor our approach to your roof type and condition:

Safety & Best Practices

All roof cleaning work follows strict safety protocols:

Gutter Cleaning & Soft-Wash Notes

Gutter cleaning is included with most roof cleaning jobs—we clear downpipes, check gutter alignment, and flush valleys to ensure proper drainage.

Soft-wash cleaning is ideal for older terracotta tiles, painted roofs, or surfaces with existing damage. This method uses eco-friendly chemicals and minimal water pressure to achieve excellent results without the risk of high-pressure damage.

For comprehensive Sorrento roofing services beyond cleaning, we offer repairs, painting, restoration and more.

Sorrento's Coastal Conditions Matter

Sorrento homes face specific roofing challenges — salt air accelerates corrosion of metal fittings, southerly changes drive wind-uplift on poorly-secured tiles, and winter moss holds moisture against the surface year-round. We specify coastal-grade fasteners and coatings on every Sorrento job because we've seen what happens when cheaper spec is used within a few kilometres of the bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does roof cleaning cost in Sorrento?
Sorrento roof cleaning typically runs $450–$1,500 depending on roof size, pitch, and how much moss/lichen buildup there is.
Will cleaning damage my roof?
Not with the right technique. We use soft-wash systems for delicate roofs and appropriate pressure for robust tile/metal. Poor operators using high pressure on old tiles can cause damage — we don't.
How often should I clean my Sorrento roof?
Every 3–5 years for most Sorrento homes. Shaded, tree-lined properties may need more frequent cleaning to prevent moss returning.
Do you treat moss and lichen?
Yes. After cleaning we apply a moss/lichen inhibitor treatment that keeps growth away for 12–24 months typically.
Can you clean tile and metal roofs?
Yes — both. Process differs (soft-wash vs higher-pressure) based on roof material and condition.
