Roof cleaning in Darling Point is a job the harbour never lets rest. The peninsula runs from Victorian mansions down through deco apartment towers to gated gardens at the water's edge, and the damp salt air that comes off the moorings feeds moss and lichen on every roof it touches. Terracotta goes black in the valleys. Concrete tile greens along the southern pitch. Colorbond hazes and streaks where the salt settles and nothing washes it off.
We soft wash rather than blast, because the old terracotta on a Darling Point mansion does not forgive a pressure lance and neither does the flashing on a heritage ridge. The treatment lifts the growth and keeps working after we pack up, so the roof stays clean for longer rather than greening again by the next wet month. Every pitch is photographed against the checklist before we leave the site.
On the towers above the yacht clubs and the houses along Darling Point Rd, the view cuts both ways: your roof is on show from the water and the ridge. Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds.
Every roof gets checked against the same list before we call it done. Surface by surface, ridge to gutter line. This is the finish that passes.
Moss and clumped growth treated and softened, then lifted off the tile or sheet. No gouging. No scraping the surface bare.
The right treatment worked across the whole roof so the black streaks and lichen die back for good. They do not wash off the top and grow again.
Colorbond and metal soft washed at low pressure. The factory coating stays on the roof where it belongs. No blasting.
Old terracotta and concrete tiles cleaned without the pressure that cracks them. What went up sound comes down sound.
Growth and debris flushed out of the valleys and off the gutter line. Water runs where it should, not back under the tiles.
Downpipes, garden beds and paths watched and rinsed. The mess off the roof does not end up staining what is under it.
Clean roof left to dry out properly. A dry roof stays clean longer than a roof that never sees the sun.
Job-close photos shot ridge to gutter against the checklist. Broken tiles, failed pointing or rust flagged and referred to a roofing partner. We do not re-roof or repoint.

Booking a one-off? A couple of cleans a year adds up. The Schmick Plan folds the whole exterior into one monthly price and keeps it handled, so you never think about it again.

“Couldn’t fault them”
Had the windows and the driveway done. Turned up right on 8, finished before lunch, and the driveway honestly looks brand new. Same guy came back for the gutters last month and remembered our dog’s name. Couldn’t fault them.
“Should’ve done it years ago”
They sent me photos of what came out of our gutters. Revolting. Glad it’s gone. Lovely guys too.
“Came out after the storm”
We’re on their monthly plan. After that big blow in June they were out two days later and sorted everything without us having to chase. Worth it for that alone.
“Honest, which is rare”
Our sandstone wall had gone black and I’d assumed it was ruined. It’s come up beautifully. There was one damp patch he said needed a stone specialist rather than pretending he could fix it, which I appreciated. On time, tidy, very fair on price.
“Neighbours all asked who did it”
Windows are unreal. Two of the neighbours came over to ask who did them before the van had even left the street. Booking was easy and they text you when they’re on the way.
“10/10”
Got the whole outside done before we hosted Christmas. Mum asked if we’d had the place repainted. Showed up when they said, price was exactly what they quoted.
Yes. We work the whole peninsula above the yacht clubs, Darling Point Rd and Yarranabbe Rd included. Terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond on the mansions and the deco towers are all regular work for us.
Put your address into the instant online quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. Nobody needs to come out and look first, and the price holds unless the roof turns out to be materially different to what you told us.
The harbour air. Salt-laden damp off the water keeps the tiles moist, and moss and lichen thrive on it, worst on the shaded southern pitches near the moorings. A soft wash lifts it and slows the return, and most owners here book it back every couple of years.
One crew, one visit. Book a single job or hand us the whole exterior.
Inside and out, tracks and screens. The squeegee line you can see from the street.
Render, brick and weatherboard brought back without blasting a thing. Ten years of grey, gone by lunch.
Cleared, flushed and photographed. The before you never wanted to see, and the after you will.
Pressure cleaned back to the day they were poured. Sealing available.
A film of grime is a tax on every panel. We take it off, quarterly, and your yield thanks you.
Salt and lichen lifted, the stone left to breathe. Heritage stone, done properly.
Timber, Colorbond and rendered fences washed back. The street side done first.
Tell us the address and what the street sees. The same person who would do the job gets back to you, not a call-centre.
