Singh Roofing expert roof cleaners Melbourne team provides soft washing and pressure cleaning for tile, terracotta, concrete and Colorbond roofs. We remove built-up moss, algae and lichen safely – no cracked tiles, no voided warranties. Free, no-obligation quote.






Melbourne’s cool, damp autumn and winter months are prime growing conditions for moss, black algae streaking and lichen – especially on roofs shaded by established trees or facing south. Left untreated, moss holds moisture against tiles long after rain has stopped, debris washes down into your gutters and blocks water flow, and trapped moisture can crack tiles during Melbourne’s occasional overnight frosts.
Singh Roofing’s roof cleaners work across metropolitan Melbourne, matching the cleaning method to your roof material so you get a genuinely clean roof without the tile damage that comes from a generic pressure-wash-everything approach.
Not every roof should be cleaned the same way. We assess your roof material and condition first, then recommend the right method – not the fastest one.
A low-pressure application of biodegradable cleaning solution that kills moss, algae and lichen at the root without physically stripping the tile surface.
Controlled high-pressure water removes dirt, loose debris and surface build-up quickly from surfaces that can handle it.
Exact pricing depends on roof size, pitch, access and how established the moss or lichen growth is. As a guide:
| Roof Type | Cleaning Method | Typical Rate | 200m² Roof (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorbond / Metal | Pressure Wash | $3 – $5 /m² | $600 – $1,000 |
| Concrete Tile | Pressure or Soft Wash | $4 – $7 /m² | $800 – $1,400 |
| Terracotta / Clay Tile | Soft Wash | $6 – $10 /m² | $1,200 – $2,000 |
| Heavy Moss / Lichen (Any Material) | Soft Wash + 2nd Pass | +20–30% | Quoted on Inspection |
Note: Prices are indicative only and vary with roof height, pitch, access and condition. Singh Roofing provides a fixed, written quote before any work begins — no surprises on the invoice.

Thank you so much. Highly recommend. Got tiles on my roof fixed and cleaning of guttersPosted on Google vinod mosesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used Singh Roofing and Tiles for roof pointing, roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, and some additional work around our house. During the extra work, there was a misunderstanding about the scope of the job. Lucky came out personally, took the time to explain everything clearly, and resolved the issue in a very professional and honest manner. I really appreciated his transparency and the way he handled the situation. In the end, everything was completed to a high standard, and the workmanship was exceptional. We're very happy with the final result and would confidently recommend Singh Roofing and Tiles to anyone looking for quality roofing services.Posted on Google Faze Tech ReviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Singh roofing, completed the job with full care, they knew what needs to be donePosted on Google Dane LaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lucky and his guys do fantastic work, a work colleague recommended them to me as they had restored his roof recently and now that they've worked on my property, I can absolutely back that recommendation. I originally called them to check some buckling tiles and do a quote to repair those tiles only, but Lucky showed me photos of the poor state of the roof after many years of neglect by the previous owners and recommended a roof restoration. I attached photos of before and after Singh roofing worked their magic and the roof looks brand new, I cannot fault their work.Posted on Google Julio DeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This could easily have been a 1-star review, but their integrity turned it into a 5-star experience. I had a new ducted fan installed and tested - my humidity sensor confirmed it worked perfectly. I then needed a vent, so I contacted Singh Roofing (SR). They provided a reasonable quote, I approved it, and a low-profile vent was installed within a couple of days. However, the humidity sensor then showed moisture lingering for a very long time after showers. After doing a quick check in the roof and some research, I contacted SR to report I had an issue and suggested the duct length might be the cause. I was told it wasn’t too long, that this was a standard install for them, do it this way all the time, and that the issue must be with the fan. Being told the fan was the problem was frustrating, and after some back and forth, despite me explaining it worked fine prior, I was eventually told they had to go as they had other calls waiting. At this point I was even more frustrated. I got on the roof and after some time found the issue: the backdraft flap couldn’t move. The way the ducting had been installed effectively reduced the diameter at the fan outlet, preventing the flap from opening freely (which is required for proper exhaust and backdraft prevention). After emailing photos and video evidence, SR responded first thing the next morning and arranged to come out and fix it. The vent installation on the roof tiles appears excellent (to the best of my knowledge), but what really stands out is their willingness to acknowledge the issue and promptly rectify it. That’s what makes this a 5-star review. The only thing that could have been better is if they had offered to come and review it after I reported the issue, and taken on board that it had been working perfectly beforehand, rather than me having to get on the roof myself. One slightly cheeky moment: during the fix, I was told “I can remove the flap”—which of course defeats its purpose, and I said as much. That said, I personally watched the repair, tested the flap before reattaching the duct to the fan, and the final result was an excellent job.Posted on Google Raffles KrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a leaking roof under my solar panels which were installed 3 years ago. Lucky (that's his name), came in a couple of days later, took away a few tiles, crawled into the ceiling and identified two leak spots. The seal for the electrical to the panels had deteriorated. Lucky fixed the leak and replaced a damaged tile without fuss. Excellent work!Posted on Google L TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My name is Laurie and and l highly recommend Singh Roofing. I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. They are very professional and communicative. Lucky is very knowledgeable gave me honest advice and the job was completed very well. Lucky and his team did an excellent job!

Our roof cleaners service the greater Melbourne metro area, including:
Most Melbourne roof cleans fall between $3 and $10 per square metre depending on roof material and method. A typical single-storey tiled roof (around 200m²) usually costs $700 to $1,600. Singh Roofing provides a fixed, itemised quote after a free on-site or photo assessment.
Most homes need a clean every 3 to 5 years. Shaded, tree-lined or bayside properties often need cleaning every 1 to 2 years due to faster moss and algae growth.
Not always — high pressure can crack or strip concrete and terracotta tiles and void warranties. We soft wash tile roofs and reserve pressure washing for Colorbond and durable surfaces.
Cool, damp autumn and winter months combined with shade from established trees create ideal growing conditions. Lichen is the most damaging, as it chemically bonds to tile surfaces.
Yes – we recommend bundling a gutter clean and flush with your roof clean, since debris washed off the roof often ends up in the gutters.
Roughly 2 to 4 hours for a standard single-storey home, depending on size, pitch and the extent of moss or lichen build-up.
Many warranties require periodic professional cleaning to stay valid — but the wrong method can void them. We match method to material and manufacturer guidelines.
Servicing all Melbourne suburbs. Fixed pricing, no surprises, VBA Licensed #130463.
