High-Pressure Roof Cleaning Services in Cape Town – Wilcote
Restore your roof’s appearance and improve its lifespan with Wilcote Cape Town’s expert high-pressure roof cleaning service. We serve residential, commercial, and sectional title properties throughout Cape Town — including Bellville, Durbanville, Table View, Blouberg, and Clifton.
Why High-Pressure Roof Cleaning Is Important
Over time, roofs accumulate dirt, algae, moss, lichen, and pollutants — especially in coastal and damp areas like Cape Town. This not only looks unsightly, but also causes water retention, damage to tiles, rust on metal roofs, and blocked gutters.

Wilcote’s 4-Step Roof Cleaning Process
1. Roof Inspection
We assess your roof type (tile, metal, asbestos, etc.), age, and condition to ensure proper pressure levels are used.
2. Debris Removal & Prep
We clear all loose debris, leaves, and growths, and ensure gutters are ready to catch runoff.
3. High-Pressure Cleaning
Using commercial-grade pressure washers with adjustable PSI settings, we clean the entire roof surface safely and thoroughly.
4. Optional Add-Ons
Ask us to combine your cleaning with protective coatings, waterproofing, or roof painting for a complete solution.

Wilcote Cape Town – Professional Roof Cleaning & Protection You Can Trust
Is high-pressure roof cleaning safe for tiles and metal sheets?
Yes. We set PSI, nozzle, and spray distance for your roof type (concrete/clay tile, slate, IBR, corrugated) to avoid lifting tiles or stripping protective layers.
Will cleaning damage existing waterproofing or coatings?
No. We pre-inspect and adjust pressure, angle, and stand-off to protect torch-on, acrylic, and elastomeric systems. If needed, we switch to soft-wash pretreatments.
What growth and stains can you remove?
Moss, algae, lichen, mould, soot, dust, bird droppings, and debris clogging valleys and gutters.
Do you pretreat before washing?
For organic growth, we apply eco-friendly biocides to loosen roots/spores, then rinse at controlled pressure for longer-lasting results.
Do you include gutters and downpipes?
Yes. We clear gutters, check outlets, and flush downpipes to restore correct drainage.
How long does it take?
Most homes are same-day; complex, multi-storey or solar-cluttered roofs may take longer.
Is this good prep for painting or waterproofing?
Absolutely — proper cleaning is step one for adhesion and coating longevity.
Which areas do you cover?
Across Cape Town: Northern & Southern Suburbs, City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, and West Coast.
Are you insured and safety compliant?
Yes — trained roof-access teams with fall-arrest systems and full insurance.
