Thousands of square metres of colorbond roofs have recently been cleaned by us for restoration, involving several buildings together with the helipad. Walkway transformed Largest of the roofs …progress viewed from helipad voila… Applying a biodegradable degreaser then hot blasting with a rotary head (on wheels to negotiate the perforated floor) […]
This outer suburban house has a colorbond roof that needed some attention before any serious buyer was going to look at it. Originally a light cream colour, the elements have taken their toll over the past fifteen years and the surface is now black, oxidized* and pock marked with lichen. * The paint has deteriorated […]
The Parish Committee of this north side Greek Orthodox Church had concerns that the iconography (pictured) under the Church domes was deteriorating due to the intense heat, particularly in the main dome. They investigated the possibility of more air circulation by redesigning the glass panels which were fully enclosed. Redesigning the twenty four glass panels […]
This strutting beam originally braced by the chimney with rafters attached had rotted from a roof leak that hadn’t been addressed, probably since the house was built, approximately thirty years ago.

This small shopping complex at Acacia Ridge had a rusty old iron roof badly in need of attention, as the first photo testifies. Our process involved treatment with a rust converter, pressure cleaning, carrying out repairs, which, among other things, involved using a high quality, fibreglass impregnated water-proofing sealer, application of an etch primer followed […]
This Apartment Building in Kangaroo Point was recently painted and we were asked to clean the roofs because they were looking pretty ordinary. You’re right …the roofs should have been cleaned first, but people don’t always get that right. We wished they had because by the time we arrived all the scaffolding had been removed […]

Owners, Alan & Angela were keen to stop the leaks and, because the tiles were a very dark brown, also asked us to install some Whirlybirds to […]
The big hail storm of 27 November 2014 left its mark on this recently cleaned terra cotta tiled roof in Bulimba.In the photo below left, golfball sized hail claimed two of the four skylight/solatubes as well as tiles. This is what the “plus” in Roofcleanplus is all about…don’t just get a cleaner to clean your […]
We recently cleaned this Post Office Complex which resembles an aircraft hangar with its big curved colorbond roof extending down to the ground. Apparently it hadn’t been cleaned for at least fifteen and the “before” shot showing the crusty lower walls is indicative of what the rest of the building looked like. The task was […]
