What’s included in our roof cleaning service?

Initial roof inspection and assessment

Before any work begins, the overall condition of the roof is carefully assessed. We check the roofing material, level of soiling, presence of moss or algae, and any sensitive areas, in order to determine the most appropriate cleaning approach.

Removal of built-up debris and contaminants

We remove moss, algae, lichen, mould and accumulated dirt, as well as organic debris such as leaves, seeds and dust. These deposits can trap moisture and cause long-term damage to the roof if not removed correctly.

Roof-specific cleaning methods

Cleaning is carried out using safe, controlled techniques tailored to each type of roof. This may include low-pressure soft washing with specialist solutions, manual or mechanical scraping, and in certain cases steam cleaning or controlled jet washing, where the roofing material allows.

Preventive treatments and final checks

Once cleaning is complete, preventive treatments are applied using biocidal solutions to help slow down the regrowth of moss and algae. A final inspection is then carried out, the work area is left clean and tidy and if required, gutters and downpipes can also be cleared to ensure proper water drainage.

Roof types we clean and maintain

Different roofing materials react in different ways to moisture, organic growth and surface build-up. For this reason, each roof is approached individually, based on the material and its current condition. The aim is not just to improve appearance, but to remove deposits that can contribute to long-term deterioration and affect the overall look of the property.

We can safely clean the following roof types:

Clay roof tiles

Concrete roof tiles

Natural slate roofs

Metal roofing (galvanised steel, aluminium, zinc)

Asphalt shingles

The advantages of keeping your roof clean

Helps keep your roof in good condition

Regular cleaning supports the overall condition of the roof and helps reduce the risk of certain areas deteriorating faster over time.

Limits unwanted moisture build-up

Moss and surface deposits can hold moisture against the roof. Removing them allows the materials to dry naturally and perform as they should.

Supports proper rainwater flow

A clean roof reduces the amount of debris that can wash into gutters, helping rainwater to drain away smoothly and without issues.

Improves the appearance of the whole property

Green staining or dark patches can make an otherwise well-kept home look neglected. A clean roof restores a neat, even appearance.

Makes potential issues easier to spot

Once the roof is clean, the surface is fully visible, making it easier to notice any areas that may need attention at an early stage.

Keeps ongoing maintenance straightforward

Consistent care helps the roof remain easy to look after, allowing simple, routine maintenance rather than unexpected complications.

Helps keep your roof in good condition

Deposits from the roof can spread onto walls, paths or patios. Cleaning the roof helps keep the areas around the property looking tidy.

Answers to common roof cleaning questions

How often does a roof need to be cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 2 to 5 years, depending on the roof material, surrounding environment and exposure to weather. If moss, algae or visible staining appears, earlier cleaning is recommended to help prevent longer-term issues.

Is this cleaning method suitable for all roof types?

Yes. The cleaning approach is chosen based on the roof material and its condition, ensuring effective results while protecting the surface. Each roof is assessed before work begins to confirm the most suitable method.

Will moss, algae and lichen be completely removed?

Yes, existing moss, algae and lichen are removed during the cleaning process. In addition, a treatment is applied to help slow down regrowth, keeping the roof cleaner for longer.

How long does a roof clean normally take?

Most roof cleaning jobs are completed within 1–2 days, depending on the size, condition and type of roof. Larger properties or heavier build-up may take slightly longer.

Do I need to be present during the cleaning?

No, your presence is not required. As long as access to the property is arranged in advance, the work can be carried out safely while you go about your day.

Are you fully insured to carry out this type of work?

Yes. All roof cleaning work is fully insured, providing peace of mind in the unlikely event of an incident during the job.

Does routine roof cleaning help extend the life of a property?

Yes. Regular roof cleaning helps reduce moisture retention and surface build-up, which can contribute to premature wear. This supports the long-term condition of both the roof and the property.

Does the roof cleaning service also cover gutters?

Gutter cleaning can be included where required. This is usually discussed during the initial assessment and arranged as part of the service if needed.
