Pressure Washing in Mount Gravatt
Mount Gravatt is the older core of the southern suburbs, built around the prominent hill and the original Logan Road shopping strip. The housing mix runs from pre-war workers' cottages near the village to 1960s and 1970s brick veneer on the slopes, with mature trees throughout. Pet ailment of the suburb is moss and lichen on older terracotta tile roofs. The elevation traps morning dew and the canopy keeps southern roof faces shaded all day. Mount Gravatt roof cleans are some of the bigger lichen-removal jobs we do.

Completed a terracotta roof clean on a 1960s brick veneer home near Mount Gravatt summit. The southern roof face had decades of lichen that needed two soft-wash passes and a longer dwell time than a typical Brisbane roof.

Common questions from Mount Gravatt customers
Can you remove decades-old lichen from terracotta?
Yes, with patience. Old terracotta lichen is anchored deep into the porous tile surface and the rhizines hold on even after the visible green is dead. We treat, dwell for 20 to 40 minutes, soft-wash rinse, then re-treat if the original colour has not fully returned. Some very old lichen leaves a faint shadow on the tile.
Will the roof clean discolour my gutters?
No. Soft-wash chemistry rinses cleanly off Colorbond, aluminium, and galvanised steel gutters. If anything, the gutters end up cleaner than they started because the same rinse flows through them.
Do you do gutter cleaning at the same time as the roof?
Yes. We recommend combining gutter clearing with any roof wash because the roof rinse will move debris into the gutters. Doing them in the same visit saves the second trip and means the gutters are empty when the wash water reaches them.
