Roof cleaning in Lavender Bay for the weatherboard cottages stacked on the hill: a soft wash that lifts moss and lichen and keeps working after we pack up.

Roof cleaning in Lavender Bay is really a shade problem. The cottages step down the hill above Wendy's Secret Garden, half of them under tree canopy, and the harbour air keeps everything damp. Terracotta and concrete tile hold that moisture, and moss and lichen take the southern pitches first.
We soft wash the roof and never blast it. High pressure strips the glaze off old terracotta and drives water up under the laps. The treatment we use lifts the growth, then keeps working for weeks after the truck leaves, so the roof stays clear instead of greening up by the next wet month. Colorbond gets the same wash without the grit.
Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. It holds unless the roof turns out to be a different job than the street suggests.
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 cover the whole bay, from up on Lavender Street down to the cottages above Wendy's Secret Garden. Terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond are all part of it.
Enter your address in the instant quote and a firm price comes back in about 60 seconds. It's bookable on the spot and holds unless the roof is materially different from what the address shows.
The tree cover and harbour damp bring moss and lichen back faster here than on an open roof. Most roofs in the bay want a soft wash every couple of years, sooner on the shaded southern side.
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.
