Manufacturer guidance
COLORBOND recommends washing areas not naturally washed by rain, including the underside of eave gutters, at least every six months and more often in coastal areas.
Safety first
Roof-edge work involves fall risk. Do not climb onto roofs or use unsuitable ladders. Arrange professional inspection when the area cannot be reached safely from the ground.
