Specialist in Soft Washing for Colorbond Roofs — Brisbane Northside & Ipswich, Toowoomba
Colorbond roofing is built tough — a steel core with a baked-on, multi-layer paint finish designed to handle decades of Queensland sun and rain. But it’s also misunderstood when it comes to cleaning. The same finish that protects your home is exactly what gets damaged when someone points a high-pressure jet at it.
That’s why we don’t. We remove lichen, algae, moss, oxidation and dirt with a controlled soft-wash process that does the work chemically, not with brute force. A measured cleaning solution is applied and given time to dwell, breaking organic growth down at the root so it’s slower to come back — and we protect your gardens and gutters from runoff the whole time. The result is a roof that looks new again and stays cleaner for longer, with its finish intact.
This is the page for Colorbond specifically; it’s part of our wider roof cleaning service covering tile, terracotta and metal roofs across Brisbane.
How We Clean a Colorbond Roof Safely
Every job starts with an inspection. We check the roof’s condition, the type and severity of growth, and any spots that need extra care, then match the method to the surface rather than treating every roof the same.
From there, the core of the work is soft washing — a low-pressure application of a biodegradable cleaning solution that sanitises as it works. It dissolves mould, algae, lichen and moss at the source instead of just rinsing the surface, which is what gives you a longer-lasting clean. Where a stubborn area needs more, we use carefully controlled pressure, kept well within safe limits, never the concentrated high-pressure jet that strips Colorbond’s coating.
Colorbond’s manufacturer, BlueScope, recommends regular gentle washing and specifically warns against abrasive cleaners and excessive high pressure, all of which can strip the baked-on finish (set out in their maintenance guidance, Technical Bulletin TB-4). Our process is built around that guidance — so your roof’s finish, and the warranty that depends on it, stay protected.
Throughout, we shield your plants, gardens and gutters, and we finish with a walkthrough so you can see the result before we pack up.

We're local, we turn up when we say we will, and we treat your roof with the care we'd give our own.
Your Colorbond Roof Questions, Answered
Colorbond roof soft washing starts from $650. The final price depends on the size of your roof and how much moss, mould or lichen has built up, so we keep it flexible and confirm it with a free on-site quote — no surprises. For a full breakdown across all our services, see our Brisbane soft washing price guide.
Not with high pressure. Colorbond’s manufacturer advises against excessive pressure because it strips the baked-on paint finish. The safe method is a low-pressure soft wash, which is what we use — with controlled pressure applied only where it’s genuinely needed.
It can, if it’s done the wrong way. Abrasive or high-pressure cleaning that damages the coating can compromise the finish your warranty relies on. Our soft-wash process follows the manufacturer’s care guidance, so your roof is cleaned without putting the warranty at risk.
For most Brisbane homes, every two to three years keeps growth under control. Roofs that are shaded, surrounded by trees, or near the coast — where salt spray accelerates buildup — benefit from more frequent cleaning. We’ll recommend a schedule when we inspect.
Mould, algae, lichen, moss, oxidation, dirt and general organic staining. Because the solution treats growth at the root rather than just rinsing it off, the roof stays cleaner for longer.
Yes. We control the cleaning solution throughout the job and shield surrounding plants, gardens and gutters from runoff as we go.
