Powerdrive Roofing is a professional roof cleaner in Perth, cleaning roofs from $5 per square metre — and that includes cleaning and flushing your gutters and downpipes. We remove moss, lichen and algae properly and safely, so they don’t hold moisture against the roof and shorten its life.
Why a clean roof matters
A roof clean is about far more than street appeal. Moss, lichen and algae hold water against the surface, keeping tiles permanently damp and slowly breaking down the coating and the tile beneath. Lichen in particular works its way into the surface and the joints, physically degrading the roof over time.
Clearing all of that off lets the roof shed water and dry as it’s designed to, which directly extends its life. A regular roof clean is one of the cheapest things you can do to protect one of your home’s most expensive components.
Why use a professional roof cleaner
Roof cleaning looks simple and isn’t. Too much pressure, or the wrong angle, cracks tiles or forces water up under them and into the roof space — turning a clean into a leak. And roof access itself is genuinely dangerous, which is why DIY roof cleaning sends people to hospital every year.
A professional roof cleaner uses the right pressure and technique for your roof type, works safely with proper access and fall protection, and knows the difference between cleaning a concrete tile, a terracotta tile and a Colorbond metal roof — each of which is handled differently.
Gutters included, ground left tidy
Our roof cleaning at $5/m² includes cleaning and flushing the gutters and downpipes — there’s no point clearing the roof while leaving the gutters blocked to overflow and rot the eaves. We also leave the ground and surrounds clean and tidy afterwards, and we ask customers to let neighbours know if we need brief access to clean any overspray from a shared boundary.
The first step towards a restoration
If your roof is more than just dirty — if the colour has faded or the caps are cracking — a clean is also the first stage of a full restoration. So a roof clean is never wasted money: either it protects a roof that’s otherwise sound, or it’s the first step of bringing a tired roof back to life. Either way, it starts at $5/m² and includes the gutters.
How often should a Perth roof be cleaned?
As a rule of thumb, most Perth roofs benefit from a clean every few years — but it varies by location. Shaded, tree-lined and bushland suburbs green up with moss quickly and may need it more often, while open and coastal suburbs stay cleaner but collect salt and dust. The honest guide is to look at the roof: visible green or black growth, or streaking, means it’s time. Catching it early keeps the clean quick and cheap and stops the growth from doing lasting damage to the coating and tiles beneath.
