Roof Cleaning Rolleston – Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan
In Rolleston, roofs are exposed to Canterbury’s full weather cycle — strong nor’westers, frosty winters, and heavy spring rains.
Without regular maintenance, dirt, moss, and lichen can quietly damage your roof, leading to leaks, corrosion, and even early roof failure.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we offer professional roof cleaning services in Rolleston to restore and protect your roof — without the damage caused by high-pressure blasting.
Why Roof Cleaning Matters in Rolleston
Rolleston’s rapid growth and open landscape bring a unique mix of roofing challenges:
- Wind-blown dust settles into tile gaps and Colorsteel seams.
- Moss and lichen thrive after winter rains and frosts.
- Sun exposure bakes dirt and spores into roofing material.
- Storm debris clogs roof valleys and gutters.
Ignoring roof maintenance can lead to:
- Cracked or shifted tiles
- Rust on iron or Colorsteel roofs
- Blocked gutters and downpipes
- Interior ceiling leaks and mould
Common Signs You Need Roof Cleaning
- Green moss clumps between tiles or along ridges
- White or grey lichen patches spreading across roof surfaces
- Black streaks (algae growth) running down iron or Colorsteel roofs
- Overflowing gutters after rain
- Water pooling around skylights or chimneys
If you see these signs — it’s time for a professional clean before more serious damage sets in.
Our Safe Roof Cleaning Process
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we don’t blast your roof with dangerous high pressure.
Instead, we use a low-pressure, eco-friendly roof treatment process:
1. Roof Inspection
We check roof type (tile, iron, Colorsteel, Decramastic), moss severity, and structural integrity.
2. Application of Biodegradable Treatment
We apply a safe, chemical solution that kills moss, mould, and lichen without damaging the surface.
3. Natural Rain Breakdown
Over 4–8 weeks, the dead moss and lichen naturally break down and wash away with rainfall.

Real Client Story: Roof Rescue in Rolleston
A family in Rolleston contacted us after noticing brown moss clumps spreading across their concrete tile roof.
They feared needing an expensive re-roof.
