Founding Streets open in Northbridge 2063
Northbridge sits high and green, and the roofs wear it. Our roof cleaning soft washes moss, lichen and mould off terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond with a treatment that keeps working after we leave.

Roof cleaning in Northbridge is mostly a lichen problem. The plateau is full of substantial interwar brick and big rendered homes, and the older tile roofs above them have had decades to collect growth. Lichen takes hold on aged terracotta and concrete tile, feeds on the damp shade side, and etches into the surface if it's left to it.
So we soft wash. Low pressure, a treatment dosed to the growth, never blasting that scours the tile or forces water under the ridge capping. The treatment keeps killing spores for months after we pack up, so the roof keeps clearing over the weeks that follow instead of greening straight back over. It's the same reason the render on these homes goes green on the shade side: this suburb stays damp, and damp feeds everything.
Whether you're up near Sailors Bay or off Sailors Bay Rd, the quote works the same way. Put your address into the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. It holds unless the place is materially different.
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.
Meet Jake. He runs Schmick jobs in Northbridge, and the same person comes back each visit — no rotating crew, no call-centre between you and the work.
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, right across the plateau and down toward Sailors Bay. Terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond each get the soft wash treatment suited to the surface, and the interwar tile roofs up here are exactly what it's built for.
Enter your address in the instant quote and a firm, bookable price comes back in about 60 seconds. No site visit, no waiting on a callback, and the price holds unless the property is materially different to what you told us.
With this much shade and damp on the plateau, every two to three years keeps lichen from getting established on the tile. Because the soft wash treatment keeps working after we leave, the roof stays cleaner between visits rather than greening over by the next winter.
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.
