Melbourne soft wash roof cleaning
VicWide lifts moss, lichen and tannin staining from tile, terracotta and Colorbond without chewing glaze, paint or pointing. We wash. We do not restore, paint or re-roof.
Why VicWide
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.
Fully insured Melbourne operators. Police-checked staff. We work around gardens, tanks and solar the way a neighbour would want.
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.
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
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 or tiles are broken, that goes on the notes. We do not quote restoration from this site.

We walk the roof for damage, wear and access. Height gear goes on before chemistry. Unsafe roofs get photographed and paused.
Biodegradable agents break down grime, lichen, mould and algae so the rinse does not have to blast.
Controlled rinse across the plane. Dirt and growth leave. Tiles, Colorbond, pointing and sealants stay.
Final walk of flashing, gutters and surface. Photos before and after. Failed ridges go on the notes — we do not coat them.
Results
Drag the slider. Same camera, same tiles. Moss and oxidation off. Colour is the original roof, wet and clean.
Reviews
“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.”
