Roof Mould Treatment Perth
Roof mould treatment in Perth
Perth roofs grow moss, lichen, algae and black fungus, worst on the shaded southern slopes that stay damp. It’s not just an eyesore. The growth holds moisture against the tiles, creeps into the pointing, and slowly lifts and breaks down the roof from the surface. We treat it to kill it at the root, then remove it, so it dies off properly instead of growing straight back from leftover spores.
We’ve been treating and cleaning Perth roofs for 15+ years and we carry $10M public liability.
Treatment vs a plain clean
This is the bit that matters. A standard pressure clean blasts the surface and makes the roof look better for a few weeks, but it leaves the spores behind and the moss is back before long. A proper treatment kills the moss, lichen, algae and fungus first, so it dies at the root, lifts cleanly, and is far slower to return. On a roof with heavy organic growth, that difference is months versus years.
Tile and metal roofs
We treat terracotta, concrete tile and metal roofs, matching the treatment and rinse pressure to the surface so nothing gets damaged. Once the dead growth is cleared, the roof’s real condition is visible, and we’ll flag any cracked tiles or failed pointing the moss had been hiding.
Treating before painting
If you’re getting the roof painted or restored, killing and removing organic growth is the first step. Coatings won’t bond over moss, and they slow regrowth once they’re on, so treatment and coating work well together.

Benefits of Mould Treatment
Kills it, not just hides it
We treat the moss, lichen, algae and fungus so it dies off at the root, then remove it, rather than just blasting the surface and leaving spores behind to grow straight back.
Protects the roof
Moss and lichen hold moisture against the tiles and work into the pointing. Treating it stops it lifting tiles and breaking down the roof from the surface.
Slows regrowth
A proper treatment leaves the roof clean for far longer than a plain wash, especially on the shaded, damp slopes where growth takes hold first.
Tile and metal roofs
We treat tiled and metal roofs alike, at the right pressure for the surface so the roof isn't damaged in the process.
Our Mould Treatment Process
- 1
Assess the growth
We check how heavy the moss, lichen and mould is and where it's worst, usually the shaded southern slopes, and quote a fixed price.
The treatment is matched to how established the growth is. This prevents under-treating a heavily infested roof.
- 2
Apply treatment
A treatment is applied to kill the moss, lichen, algae and fungus at the root across the affected roof.
Killing it first means it lifts cleanly and doesn't regrow from leftover spores. This prevents regrowth within weeks of a surface-only clean.
- 3
Remove and rinse
The dead growth is cleared off and the roof rinsed down at a pressure suited to the surface.
Clearing the dead material leaves the roof clean and the tiles visible. This prevents a roof that's been treated but still looks filthy.
- 4
Check the roof
With the roof clean, we point out any cracked tiles, failed pointing or other wear the growth was hiding.
Moss often hides the faults underneath it. This prevents small problems staying out of sight until they leak.
FAQs
How much does roof mould treatment cost in Perth? ⌄
It depends on the roof size and how heavy the growth is. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price. If you're treating ahead of a paint or restoration, we roll it into the overall job.
What's the difference between mould treatment and a roof clean? ⌄
A clean blasts the surface. A treatment kills the moss, lichen and fungus at the root first so it dies off and is far slower to come back. For heavy organic growth, treatment lasts much longer than a wash alone.
Does the moss and mould come back? ⌄
Not as fast after a proper treatment. It can return over time in shaded, damp spots, and a roof coating slows it further. A surface-only clean that leaves spores behind grows back within weeks.
Is it safe for my roof and garden? ⌄
We treat at the right strength and pressure for the roof type so the surface isn't damaged, and we take care around gardens and downpipes when rinsing off.
Do I need treatment, cleaning, or a full restoration? ⌄
Heavy organic growth needs treatment to kill it properly. If the roof's just dirty, a clean does it. If it's also faded with failed pointing, that's a restoration. We'll tell you which after a look.
