What Could Be Lurking On Your Roof and Gutters
If your roof and gutters are not cleaned regularly, organic growths can build up upon them and cause building materials to deteriorate, along with shortening your roof’s lifespan. If left long enough, this can lead to costly repairs.
Some common culprits include:
Algae
Those dark streaks or patches? They’re usually caused by algae that feed on the limestone in your shingles. In shaded areas, this can appear blue-green and spread quickly.
Lichen
A stubborn mix of algae and fungus, lichen forms a crust-like layer with tiny root systems that dig deep into your roofing, making it hard to remove without professional help.
Moss
Moss thrives in damp, shaded areas. Its shallow roots grow between roof tiles or shingles, causing them to lift, curl, or crack – exposing your roof to leaks and further damage.
Our Roof and High-Access Cleaning Services
Roofs, gutters, and high façades are often left neglected until they cause major issues. Blocked gutters can lead to water damage and internal leaks. Moss, algae, and grime can degrade roofing materials, encourage wood rot, and reduce your property’s value. For commercial sites, a dirty or poorly maintained exterior could hurt your professional image and trigger compliance concerns.
At O’Shea’s, our trained technicians provide safe, efficient, and fully insured roof and high-access cleaning across Adelaide. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a responsive clean-up after storm season, we tailor our approach to your property – ensuring every job is completed to the highest safety and quality standards.

FAQs
What happens if I neglect roof cleaning?
Neglecting your roof allows algae, lichen, and moss to flourish. Over time, this leads to shingle damage, wood rot, and potentially thousands of dollars in repairs. Regular cleaning prevents costly issues and prolongs roof life.
Does roof cleaning really help with drainage and gutter issues?
Absolutely. Blocked or dirty roofs often lead to clogged gutters. Roof and gutter cleaning work hand-in-hand to maintain proper water flow and reduce the risk of water damage or pooling around your foundation.
How often should I schedule professional roof cleaning in Adelaide?
We recommend professional roof cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on your roof type, surrounding vegetation, and exposure to dust or pollution. Properties near trees or in high-traffic areas may require more frequent servicing.
Is high-access cleaning safe for older buildings or fragile structures?
Yes. We use specialised equipment and low-impact techniques tailored for delicate facades and roofing. Every job is assessed individually to ensure safety and avoid damage to heritage or fragile structures.
Can I clean my roof myself?
DIY roof cleaning is risky and often ineffective. Without proper safety gear and cleaning equipment, it’s easy to damage roofing materials – or worse, suffer a serious fall. Leave high-access cleaning to trained professionals.
Do you offer seasonal roof and gutter cleaning plans?
Yes. We provide set-and-forget maintenance packages to help residential and commercial clients stay on top of seasonal roof and gutter cleaning, storm prep, and roof maintenance throughout the year.
Is your gutter and roof cleaning service suitable for solar panels?
Yes. Our local roof cleaners are trained to clean around and beneath solar panels safely, ensuring no damage to your system while restoring optimal panel performance.
What’s the difference between roof cleaning and roof restoration?
Roof cleaning focuses on removing surface contaminants like algae, moss, and debris from your roof. Meanwhile, roof restoration includes repairs for leaks, broken tiles, and structural issues – essentially bringing your roof back to its optimal condition.
What types of buildings do you service?
We clean all types of residential homes, commercial properties, warehouses, multi-storey buildings, and industrial sites across Adelaide. No job is too big, no area too high.
Are your services insured and compliant?
