Safety first
Height access, fall protection and a walk of the roof before any chemical goes down. We stop if the structure is not safe to wash.
Melbourne soft wash roof cleaning
Your roof.
Revived, not recoated.
VicWide washes moss and staining off tile, terracotta and Colorbond, clears gutters, and coats only after a proper wash if the surface will take it. We do not re-roof.

Why VicWide
Why Melbourne homes book us for roof cleaning
Insured crew
Fully insured Melbourne operators. Police-checked staff. We work around gardens, tanks and solar the way a neighbour would want.
Long-term wash
Soft wash treats spores at the source so moss does not flash back in a season. Better than a high-pressure rinse that only looks clean for a month.
No surface damage
Low pressure and the right chemistry. We do not blast glaze off terracotta or pit Colorbond. If pointing has already failed, we photograph it and stop.
Soft wash, lasting results
Roof cleaning that is actually a wash
VicWide is a Melbourne roof and gutter cleaning company. Soft wash lifts grime, moss and lichen without damaging paint, tiles or coatings. Faded metal or stained terracotta — we restore the look by cleaning, not by rolling a new colour.
Every job includes a roof walk, drainage check and photos. If a ridge has failed, that goes on the notes. Paint is quoted after a wash if the surface will take it. We do not re-roof.

How it works
A VicWide wash, in three steps on the roof
We inspect, foam and rinse, then photograph what we found. Coat only if the surface will take it. We do not re-roof.
1
Walk the roof
Access, pitch and damage first. Height gear on before chemistry. Unsafe planes get paused.
2
Foam and rinse
Soft-wash foam sits, then a controlled rinse. Glaze, pointing and factory paint stay.
3
Photo notes
Before and after plus anything a roofer should see. Failed ridges are flagged, not coated.
Results
Washed — not recoated
Drag the slider. Same camera, same tiles. Moss and oxidation off. Colour is the original roof, wet and clean.

“South pitch in Glen Waverley was black with lichen. They soft-washed it — tiles still intact, no paint job. Gutters were packed; they cleared those too.”

“Quoted from two phone photos the same afternoon. Crew was in and out. Driveway left clean. Honest that a cracked ridge was a roofer, not them.”

★★★★★
“Colorbond on a 90s house, tannin stains from the liquidambar. No swirl marks. Roof looks like itself, just washed.”
