Soft Washing in Sydney
Low pressure, right chemistry, the safe clean for delicate surfaces.
About this service
Soft washing flips the equation: instead of brute pressure, it uses the right cleaning solution at low pressure to break down grime, mould and algae, then rinses it all away gently.
It's the only method we'll use on roofs, render, paint and delicate masonry, and it outlasts pressure rinsing because the growth is killed rather than trimmed. The surface decides the method, every time.

Soft Washing: your questions
What surfaces should be soft washed instead of pressure cleaned?
Roofs, render, painted surfaces, weatherboard, older masonry and anything coated or fragile. If high pressure could strip, crack or force water where it shouldn't go, soft washing is the answer.
Does low pressure actually clean as well?
Better, for the right surfaces. The cleaning solution breaks down grime and kills mould at the root, so the result is more even and lasts longer than blasting the surface layer off.
How often should my roof be cleaned?
Every 12–24 months for most Sydney roofs, sooner under heavy tree cover or near the coast, where moss, lichen and salt build up faster.
Do you work safely at heights?
Yes, our whole team is trained and insured for working at heights, with proper harness and access equipment on every roof job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. The Gutter Guys Sydney is fully insured, and we're owner-operated, so the person who quotes your job is the person responsible for the result.
Is the quote really free and fixed?
Yes. Quotes are free and fixed. You'll know the price before we start, with no hourly meter and no surprises on the invoice. A quick call with a couple of photos is usually all we need.
Do you take the debris away?
Yes. Everything we clear from your gutters, valleys and roof is bagged and taken away, not left on your lawn, and you get before and after photos of the job.
