Cleaning & Maintenance in Mandurah

Dirt, moss, lichen and leaf litter hold water on a tiled roof and block the gutters and valleys it drains through.

What’s covered

  • Roof cleaning
  • Gutter and valley clearing
  • Pressure cleaning
  • Chlorine washing
  • Moss and lichen treatment
  • Preventative roof maintenance

Leaves and debris build up in gutters and valleys. Once they block, rain backs up and spills over, which can soak the eaves, stain the walls and look like a roof leak from inside. Moss and lichen hold moisture on the tiles themselves.

Roofs are pressure cleaned and chlorine washed, moss and lichen are treated, and the gutters and valleys are cleared. The roof is not painted afterwards. A full clean is also the first step of a restoration.

Preventative maintenance means looking over the roof while it is clean. Cracked tiles, tired pointing and blocked valleys are easier to sort out before they leak. When you get in touch, say whether the home is single or double storey and roughly when the roof and gutters were last cleaned.

What to look for

  3. Leaves and debris sitting in the valleys
  4. Stains on the walls or eaves below the gutter

A practical start

Start with the details Shane can work from.

  1. Describe the home

    Single or double storey, and roughly how many trees hang over the roof.

  2. Share what you see

    Ground-level photos of moss, overflowing gutters or stained walls show where the problem is.

  3. Talk through the clean

    Shane can then talk through the clean and any maintenance the roof needs.

For safety, keep roof observations and photos at ground level. Do not walk on a wet, damaged or unfamiliar roof.

Cleaning & Maintenance FAQ

Questions before you call.

Do you paint the roof after cleaning it?

No. Mandurah Roofing Services doesn’t paint roofs. The job leaves the tiles clean and the gutters and valleys clear.

Can blocked gutters cause a leak?

They can. Overflowing gutters and valleys can push water into the eaves and the roof, which can look like a roof leak inside.

How often should gutters and valleys be cleared?

It depends on the trees nearby and how much lands on the roof. Homes under trees usually need it more often.
