Local proof points
Bird droppings concentrate around ridge lines, valley outlets, and any flat roof section. Uric acid in bird waste is aggressive towards cementitious materials and tile coatings — it accelerates surface degradation on the most exposed sections of the roof.
The cleaning interval required for a given roof is a function of tree cover, aspect, rainfall, and tile type. A heavily shaded terracotta roof in a high-rainfall suburb may need cleaning every three to four years. A north-facing concrete tile roof in an open block may go eight to ten years.
On roofs with an existing coating or sealer, we confirm the wash pressure and chemistry won't strip or degrade the coating before starting. Some acrylic coatings are sensitive to alkaline cleaners — using the wrong product on a restored roof can cause the coating to lift.
