How to maintain polycarbonate roofing in Brisbane

 

To keep your polycarbonate roofing in Brisbane clean and in good condition, follow these steps carefully and always prioritise safety.

 

  1. Never walk directly on the polycarbonate sheets. They’re not designed to support your weight on their own. Instead, place walk boards, thick plywood, or use extension poles to spread out your weight. Lay down a soft cloth or towel where you’ll be working to prevent scratches.

 

  1. Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and soft cleaning tools such as sponges or cotton cloths. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, and sharp tools—these can damage the roof’s protective layer.

 

  1. Clear off leaves, branches, and any other loose material before you begin washing. This makes the cleaning process faster and prevents scratching.

 

  1. Mix your mild soap with lukewarm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface in gentle circular motions. Don’t leave soap on the sheets for too long, and never use strong detergents.

 

  1. After washing, rinse the entire area with clean, lukewarm water. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the surface and prevent streaks. Clean on a dry day for the best finish.

 

  1. While you’re up there, inspect and clear the gutters. Blocked gutters can cause water buildup and lead to long-term damage around your roofing system.

 

Regular maintenance like this keeps your polycarbonate roof looking clear and performing well for years to come.

 

Sounds easy, right?
