Moss and Lichen on Queensland Roofs: What To Do

Warm humidity and shaded roof sections create favourable conditions for moss, lichen and algae across Brisbane. Organic growth holds moisture against the surface and makes a roof look older than it is.

Tile and metal roofs need different treatment. A careful clean begins with an inspection, then uses a suitable solution and controlled rinsing rather than aggressive pressure that can damage tiles or force water beneath them.

Cleaning is also a useful maintenance visit. Visible cracked tiles, damaged flashing and blocked gutter sections can be reported before they become a larger leak or repair project.
