How Often to Clean a Roof in Melbourne
Most Melbourne roofs want a professional clean every three to five years. Trees, south pitches and bayside salt bring that forward. VicWide will tell you if you are early — we do not invent a yearly wash to fill the book.

How this shows up on Melbourne streets
On a Brighton run (Bayside City), Salt film and moss on south pitches. Soft wash only — no blast on glazed units.
On a Glen Waverley run (Monash), South-pitch moss is the booking reason.
