Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
A clean roof makes a big difference. We use safe, gentle cleaning to wash away moss and stains, so your home looks cared for and stays protected.
Your roof works hard every day to protect your home, but it’s also the part of the house that gets exposed to the most wear. Over time, moss, algae, dirt, and debris settle on the tiles, making the roof look tired and sometimes even causing damage. Regular roof cleaning is one of the simplest ways to keep your property looking cared for while preventing small issues from turning into costly repairs.
Roof cleaning isn’t just about appearance. Moss can hold moisture against the surface of tiles, which may weaken them or cause leaks. Algae and lichen can also spread quickly if left untreated. By removing these, you’re helping your roof last longer and stay in better shape, especially through our damp, unpredictable weather.
The process is carried out using professional equipment designed to clean without causing harm to the roof structure. Depending on the condition of your roof, soft washing, pressure washing (on suitable materials), or gentle scraping may be used. Gutters and downpipes are also cleared so water can flow freely, reducing the risk of overflow and damp patches on walls. In many cases, a biocide treatment is applied afterwards to slow down moss and algae regrowth.
When done professionally, roof cleaning covers more than just the tiles. Ridge caps, flashing, gutters, and even fascias and soffits are given attention. This thorough approach ensures the whole roofline looks fresh and functions properly. The right tools—such as extendable poles, specialist brushes, and safe access equipment—make the job safer and more effective than a DIY attempt.
In the UK, roofs tend to pick up moss quite quickly because of the damp weather and shaded areas, especially on north-facing homes. If your property is near trees or gets limited sun during the day, moss growth is almost guaranteed over time. That’s why so many homeowners now treat roof cleaning the same way they treat gutter clearing or window cleaning — as part of regular property upkeep rather than a luxury.
A proper clean can make a huge difference to how a house looks from the street. Tiles that looked faded or green can suddenly appear fresh again, which is why estate agents often recommend getting it done before putting a house on the market. It’s a simple job that makes the place instantly more appealing without needing any major renovation.
The process is a lot gentler than people expect. We don’t just turn up with a pressure washer and blast the tiles. The cleaning method depends on the type and age of the roof. Soft washing is commonly used across the UK because it’s low pressure and safe for older tiles. Before starting, things like conservatories, decking and garden areas are covered where needed to protect them.
After the moss has been removed, a biocide treatment is usually applied. This isn’t something you see instantly, but it works slowly over time to prevent moss from returning too quickly. It means you get more life out of the clean and usually don’t need to do it again for a good few years.
