Moss and lichen, off Vaucluse roofs for longer

Roof cleaning in Vaucluse, where the same ocean air that salts your glass feeds moss and lichen straight into terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond.

Roof cleaning in Vaucluse is a salt problem before it's a moss problem. Up from Nielsen Park, the harbourside estates and rebuilt moderns catch ocean air all day, and that air holds moisture against the tiles long after inland roofs have dried. Moss and lichen take hold. On acres of white render and glass below, the black streaks off a neglected roof show up fast.

We soft wash terracotta, concrete tile and Colorbond, never blast them. High pressure strips the glaze off old terracotta and drives water under Colorbond laps, and on these homes a damaged roof is an expensive mistake. The treatment goes on gently, lifts the growth, then keeps working for weeks after we leave, so the roof stays clear rather than greening over by the next wet spell.

Every roof gets photographed against the checklist before we call it done, and the same operator handles your place each visit. Put your address into the instant quote for a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds.

The Schmick Standard for your roof

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 lifted, not scraped

    Moss and clumped growth treated and softened, then lifted off the tile or sheet. No gouging. No scraping the surface bare.

  • Lichen and black mould killed at the root

    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.

  • Coating left intact

    Colorbond and metal soft washed at low pressure. The factory coating stays on the roof where it belongs. No blasting.

  • Tiles left whole

    Old terracotta and concrete tiles cleaned without the pressure that cracks them. What went up sound comes down sound.

  • Valleys and gutters cleared

    Growth and debris flushed out of the valleys and off the gutter line. Water runs where it should, not back under the tiles.

  • Runoff handled

    Downpipes, garden beds and paths watched and rinsed. The mess off the roof does not end up staining what is under it.

  • The roof left to breathe

    Clean roof left to dry out properly. A dry roof stays clean longer than a roof that never sees the sun.

  • The condition report

    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.

What Sydney homeowners say about Schmick

5 star rating

“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.

Marcus L.Homeowner, Vaucluse
5 star rating

“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.

Helen W.Homeowner, Darling Point

“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.

Roof cleaning in Vaucluse, answered.

Do you clean roofs in Vaucluse?

Yes. We work the streets up from Nielsen Park regularly, from the estates along Coolong Rd and Wentworth Rd to the moderns off Hopetoun Ave. Exterior roof cleaning only.

What does roof cleaning cost in Vaucluse?

Put your address into the instant quote and you get a firm, bookable price in about 60 seconds. It holds unless the roof is materially different to what we're told.

How often should a Vaucluse roof be treated?

More often than inland. The salt air here keeps tiles damp and feeds moss and lichen faster, so most harbourside roofs want a soft wash treatment every year or two to stay clear.
