And many other surface types.
Our product is Eco friendly, making it safe and environmentally responsible. It is gentle on roofs, and ideal for maintaining the condition and appearance of your home without causing surface damage.
This treatment is an excellent solution for hard-to-reach roofs or weather-sensitive areas, delivering affordable restoration and long-lasting results. You’ll enjoy a cleaner, fresher roof that continues to look great for years—without the need for abrasive cleaning or costly repairs.
Our De-Mossing Process
At Geelong Moss Removal, we take pride in bringing roofs back to life. Led by Ash Pendock, our team knows how to safely remove moss, lichen, and algae while keeping your roof in great shape.
How We Do It

- Prep Work – We protect your plants, gardens, and outdoor areas before getting started.
- Moss Treatment – Our eco-friendly solution targets and kills moss, mould, lichen, and algae at the source.
- Gentle Clean – Once the treatment has done its job, we safely soft wash or pressure clean (if suitable) to remove the dead growth immediately, depending on your preference.

MOSS & MOULD CLEANING IN GEELONG
Structural Benefits
Roof moss removal, lichen, and mould from your roof delivers a wide range of benefits that protect both the structure of your home and your long-term investment. While these growths may seem harmless at first, they can cause significant damage over time and compromise the performance and appearance of your roofing materials.
Moss and lichen retain moisture, creating a damp environment that can weaken terra-cotta or cement tiles, leading to cracking, lifting, and premature deterioration. This moisture can eventually seep into the roof structure, encouraging rot and damaging insulation or internal timbers. By removing these growths, you help maintain the integrity of the roof surface, ensuring it lasts longer and performs as designed.
Health Benefits
Mould is another concern, as it thrives in humid environments and can spread from your roof to other areas of your home. Not only can mould accelerate material decay, but it may also affect indoor air quality if allowed to migrate inside. Regular cleaning prevents these issues before they become costly to repair.
Cosmetic Benefits
Beyond structural and health protection, cleaning your roof greatly enhances its visual appeal. Moss and lichen can create a streaky or patchy appearance that detracts from the overall look of your property. A clean roof instantly improves street appeal, which can be especially valuable if you are planning to sell.
In short, routine roof cleaning prevents damage, extends roof life, protects your home’s interior, and enhances visual appeal.
LICHEN CLEANING IN GEELONG
Lichen is unique compared to moss and mould, as it is a slow-growing organism formed from a partnership between a fungus and an alga. While it may appear harmless, lichen can bond firmly to roofing surfaces, gradually breaking down protective coatings and causing long-term deterioration. Over time, this can lead to weakened roofing materials, cracks, and increased vulnerability to leaks.
Removing lichen helps maintain the structural integrity of your roof by preventing moisture retention, which can contribute to rot or internal water damage. It also restores the roof’s original appearance, reducing the patchy, discolored look that lichen often creates. A clean roof improves curb appeal, supports better water runoff, and extends the overall lifespan of your roofing system. Regular removal is a simple, cost-effective step that protects your home and preserves the value of your property.

Since then, we’ve diligently expanded our operations, continually expanding our offerings while prioritizing the adoption of safer and more cost-effective methods. While we still cater to a broad range of customer needs, our current focus lies in moss and lichen removal. Drawing upon decades of industry experience, we guarantee exceptional service at an affordable price point.

Our Latest Projects
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Our roof moss removal stands out as the safest and most eco-friendly solution for clearing unsightly growth from roofs and walls.
We meticulously apply a non-toxic, chlorine-free chemical, “EcoSafe”, to the affected areas. This solution works gradually, efficiently killing off moss, mold, lichen, and even their spores, thereby preventing future growth.
Over the course of 12 to 18 months, subject to weather conditions, the treated growth naturally decomposes and is gradually washed away by rainfall. Eventually, your roof returns to its pristine condition without any harmful impact on the environment.
As a home owner in Geelong, you are probably fully aware that the temperate oceanic climate of the region provides the ideal conditions for moss and lichens to grow on the roof of your home causing your property to look far from its best. However, what is not so widely understood is that when left unchecked or untreated, moss and lichens can seriously compromise the structure of your roofing materials, especially cement and terracotta tiles, eventually allowing damp to permeate into the interior structure of your roof, which can eventually give rise to serious problems.
Protecting your roof from the insidious effects of unwanted moss, lichen and mould growth therefore not only improves the visual aesthetics of your property but actually prevents structural damage from occurring, so taking the time to do so really is essential. Preventative action on a regular basis will undoubtedly save you time, money and stress in the long term as well as giving you the peace of mind that your investment in your property is being well cared for.
In recent years a reliance on power washing roofs has given way to new technologies that have been developed, using non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning agents that not only effectively and safely clean your roof but also offer protection against further regrowth, and here at Geelong Moss Removal, a local family run business of more than 30 years standing, we have fully embraced the new techniques and are rightfully considered the specialists in restoration roof cleaning in Geelong. Power washing is still sometimes an option, but especially when it comes to roof terracotta cleaning and roof Colorbond cleaning here in Geelong, the process can contribute to the early degradation of your tiles, so the more gentle, controlled soft wash is often the best option.
Our process of roof moss removal and roof tile cleaning in Geelong offers an eco-friendly long term effect which will leave your roof looking as good as new, and removes the deep rooted spores that would otherwise generate a rapid new growth. We will conduct an initial inspection of your roof and gutters, provide you with an up front and transparent quote for our work before starting the lichen and moss treatment on your Geelong property.
Our team are fully trained in the use of EcoSafe – the new non-abrasive cleaning agent that we utilise, and are also licenced and insured for working at height, so when you call upon Geelong Moss Removal you can be sure that you will receive a highly professional service, combined with outstanding customer service, and a 3 year guarantee on our cleaning service gives further assurances as to the exceptional standards to which we always operate.
Our full range of cleaning services at Geelong Moss Removal includes gutter cleaning in Geelong, application of protective materials to roofs and walls, polycarbonate and Laserlite cleaning as well as highly effective deionized water cleaning of solar panels in Geelong.
