Moss
Roof Moss Removal Melbourne
South-facing Melbourne roofs hold moss. VicWide treats and lifts growth so tiles can dry. We do not re-point or coat afterwards — that is restoration work if the mortar has already failed.
What the crew does
- Identify moss vs lichen vs algae
- Biocide / soft treatment
- Lift without gouging glaze
- Rinse control
- Gutter catch of debris
- Advice on shade and trees
What a Melbourne wash costs
Heavy south-pitch growth on a two-storey roof costs more than a light film on a new Colorbond. Quote after photos.
When a wash is the wrong job
Moss sitting on crumbling pointing is a restoration job. Cleaning first is still useful, then a roofer re-beds the ridge.
How a VicWide visit runs
- Step 1. Map growth
- Step 2. Treat
- Step 3. Dwell time
- Step 4. Lift and rinse
- Step 5. Clear gutters
- Step 6. Photo report
Surfaces we will wash
- Concrete tile (most common)
- Terracotta glaze
- Shaded metal laps
