Cleaning & Growth Profile
Burnside Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Burnside
Terracotta tiles are particularly susceptible to biological colonisation — the textured surface profile retains moisture and provides physical anchorage for spores. On a shaded section, a terracotta roof can go from clean to fully covered in four to five years.
Why It Happens
A valley blocked by leaf debris causes water to pond above the blockage during heavy rain. That standing water finds the lowest available path — usually under the tile course at the valley junction — and enters the roof space. It's gravity following the path of least resistance.
How We Fix It
On heritage terracotta roofs, we use only water and mechanical removal for biological growth — no chemical cleaners that could affect original surface treatments or lime-based pointing. The wash is effective without chemistry on mechanically intact surfaces.
