Roof Washing in Wynnum
Wynnum roof cleaning is mostly Colorbond and corrugated iron work. Salt-laden easterlies drive faster algae growth on the painted finish and accelerate the surface oxidation that dulls the colour-bonded layer. Most Wynnum roofs want cleaning every two years rather than the three-year Brisbane average to maintain the painted finish.
How we approach roof washing in Wynnum
We soft-wash every Wynnum roof. High pressure is never used on Colorbond, it can strip the colour-bonded paint layer. Standard soft-wash chemistry handles salt, algae, and grime without affecting the paint. The roof rinse is directed to street drainage; the rinse always carries some level of salt deposit, which we don't want on garden beds in concentrated form. Pre-war Queenslander iron roofs get heritage chemistry, milder concentration, extended dwell, gentle rinse. Two-storey work is from roof ladders with long-reach wands. Gutter clearing finishes every roof job.

Pricing in Wynnum
Wynnum roof cleaning typically runs $580 to $1,100 depending on roof area, material, and salt load. Colorbond roofs price toward the middle of the range; heritage iron roofs on Queenslanders sit higher because of the care required. Combined with a house wash, expect 5 to 10% off the total.
Full pricing breakdown →Roof Washing in Wynnum: common questions
Can you clean Colorbond roofs without affecting the paint?
Yes. Colorbond is designed to be soft-wash cleanable. We avoid high pressure on the painted finish because it can strip the colour-bonded layer. Soft-wash chemistry at low pressure handles salt, algae, and grime without affecting the paint. Expect to need a roof clean every two years in bayside suburbs to keep the finish at its best.
Why do bayside roofs need cleaning more often?
Salt-laden easterlies drive accelerated algae growth and surface oxidation. The painted Colorbond layer ages faster under continuous salt exposure than under inland conditions. Cleaning every two years interrupts the salt-driven aging and extends the practical life of the painted finish significantly.
Do you handle heritage iron roofs on Wynnum Queenslanders?
Yes. Heritage iron gets reduced chemistry concentration and extended dwell time, with a gentle hand-rinse rather than aggressive pressure rinse. Existing paint stays intact and salt-driven algae lifts cleanly. If we find rust spots we photograph and flag them, but rust treatment is a separate trade.
