Roof Cleaning

Moss and Lichen on Queensland Roofs: What To Do

Brisbane humidity encourages moss, lichen, algae and roof fungus on tile and metal roofs. Learn about safe roof cleaning methods and when to arrange a professional clean.

10 June 2026

Brisbane's humidity, heavy rainfall and shaded roof sections create favourable conditions for moss, lichen, algae and roof fungus. This organic growth can hold moisture against tile and metal surfaces and affect how a roof looks from the street.

Tile and Colorbond metal roofs need different treatment. A careful clean begins with an inspection, then uses a method matched to the roof material rather than high pressure that can crack tiles or strip protective coatings.

A roof cleaning visit can also identify visible cracked tiles, damaged flashing and blocked gutter sections. Learn more about our Brisbane roof cleaning service and the methods we use for moss, lichen and algae removal.
