Why softwash instead of pressure washing
High-pressure cleaning relies on brute force, and on a roof or painted render that force can do more harm than good — stripping paint, cracking or dislodging tiles, and damaging fixtures. Softwashing flips that: the cleaning solution does the actual work of breaking down mould, algae and grime, which means the rinse itself can stay gentle. The result lasts longer too, since treating the growth at the root slows down how quickly it comes back.

Common questions
Is softwashing safe for my roof?
Yes — it uses low pressure rather than high-pressure blasting, which is what makes it safe on surfaces that pressure washing could otherwise damage.
How is softwashing different from pressure washing?
High-pressure water alone can strip paint, dislodge or crack roof tiles, and damage fixtures. Softwashing does the opposite: a cleaning solution breaks down the mould, algae and grime first, so only a gentle, low-pressure rinse is needed to finish the job.
Will this harm my garden or pets?
We take care to protect garden beds and keep the process pet-friendly while we work — just let us know about anything nearby that needs special care.
How long does the result last?
Results typically last well over a year, often longer, since the treatment targets mould and algae at the root rather than just knocking off the surface growth.
Does softwashing work on all roof types?
It's suitable for most common roof types including tile and colorbond, as well as render and weatherboard walls — let us know your roof type when you enquire and we'll confirm.
