Moss and lichen don't just look bad — they trap moisture against the tile, accelerate wear, and shorten your roof's life. We treat it with a professional biocide that kills growth at the root. No pressure washing. No cracked tiles. And every Roof Treatment includes a free gutter clean.
Gold Coast's subtropical climate — humidity, shade from established trees, and heavy summer storms — is exactly what moss, lichen and algae need to take hold on roof tiles. Left untreated, it traps moisture against the tile, accelerates wear, and can shave years off your roof's lifespan. It also just looks bad — moss creeping across the roofline is one of the fastest ways a well-kept home starts to look neglected.
A professional-grade biocide that kills moss and lichen at the root — not a pressure washer that can crack tiles or force water under flashings. Dead growth simply rinses away in the rain over the following weeks.
Free on-site inspection — roof material, size, and moss severity — then a straight, fixed price. No obligation.
We start with a full gutter clean — always included with every Roof Treatment, never charged separately.
Rainwater tanks are disconnected and safeguarded before treatment, so nothing but the roof gets treated.
Gutters and downpipes are flushed clear, so the roof drains properly once the treatment goes on.
The biocide is applied by hand across the whole roof — no pressure washer, no risk to tiles or flashing. Dead moss and lichen rinse away naturally in the rain over the following weeks.

Concrete tile roof, Gold Coast — after photo taken 6 months later. Results still holding strong.
Transparent, upfront pricing — no hidden call-out fees, no surprises on the day.
Gold Coast homeowners have trusted us with their homes since 2016. Here's what they said.
"Daniel did an amazing gutter clean in Helensvale after all the recent rain. Turned up on time, went above and beyond, and left the place spotless. Signed up for the 6-month plan on the spot — couldn't be happier."
"I called three companies and The Gutter Mate were the only ones who called me back the same day. Came out two days later, did an incredible job, and the whole exterior looks 10 years younger."
"Easy to book, showed up exactly when they said, price was exactly as quoted. No upsells, no nonsense. Will 100% use again."
Everything homeowners ask us before booking a roof treatment.
No. We never pressure wash roofs. We apply a professional-grade biocide by hand that kills moss and lichen at the root, without the water pressure that can crack tiles or force water under flashings.
The treatment kills the growth straight away, but the visual clean-up happens gradually as it rains over the following weeks — the dead moss and lichen rinses away naturally rather than being blasted off.
Every roof treatment includes moss prevention as standard, which protects against regrowth for 3–5 years. Exact timing before any new growth appears still depends on shade, rainfall and roof material.
No. Most jobs can be completed while you're at work — we send before and after photos either way.
It's genuinely free — every Roof Treatment includes a full gutter clean at no extra charge, always. It's never billed separately.
Colorbond and metal roofs, concrete tile, and terracotta tile — terracotta is more fragile so it gets specialist, low-pressure care.
