Roof Cleaning

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

A moss-covered roof doesn’t just look bad – it can actually damage your tiles and lead to costly repairs. Our professional roof cleaning service removes moss, lichen and algae safely and effectively, restoring your roof’s appearance and protecting it for years to come.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Moss and algae on your roof cause several problems:

• Tile damage – moss roots can lift tile edges and hold moisture against surfaces
• Blocked gutters – falling moss clogs gutters and downpipes
• Ice damage – trapped moisture freezes in winter, cracking tiles
• Reduced lifespan – neglected roofs deteriorate faster
• Poor curb appeal – a green roof makes the whole house look neglected

Regular roof cleaning prevents these issues and maintains your property’s value.

Our Roof Cleaning Process

We take a careful, methodical approach to roof cleaning:

1. Assessment

We inspect your roof to identify the type of growth, tile condition, and best approach.

2. Debris Removal

Large moss and debris are carefully scraped away using appropriate tools. We work section by section to ensure thorough coverage.

3. Gentle Cleaning

Using low-pressure washing techniques, we clean the tile surfaces without damaging them. We never use high pressure which can strip protective coatings and force water under tiles.

4. Biocide Treatment (Optional)

We can apply a professional biocide treatment that kills remaining moss spores and prevents regrowth for 12-18 months.

5. Clean Up

All debris is collected and removed from your property. We also clear any moss that has fallen into gutters.

Types of Roof We Clean

We clean most residential roof types including:

• Concrete tiles
• Clay tiles
• Slate
• Flat roofs (felt, rubber)
• Metal roofing

We’ll assess your roof and advise on the best cleaning method for your specific tiles.

Safety First

Roof work requires proper safety measures. Our team:

• Uses appropriate access equipment
• Wears safety harnesses where required
• Minimises walking on tiles
• Is fully trained in working at height
• Is covered by £5 million public liability insurance

The Difference Clean Makes

A professional roof clean can dramatically transform your property’s appearance. The difference in curb appeal is remarkable – many customers say their house looks years younger after a roof clean.

Maintenance Recommendations

After cleaning, we recommend:

• Biocide treatment – inhibits regrowth for 12-18 months
• Annual inspection – catch new growth early
• Gutter clearing – prevents debris build-up
• Tree trimming – reduces shade where moss thrives
