Your roof will gradually accumulate moss, lichen and other debris. This not only looks unpleasant, but it can block your drainage systems, lead to cracked tiles and even leak into your home. Leaks caused by a lack of maintenance aren’t covered by your home insurance. Our team is fully insured, and IPAF and PASMA certified to use our cherry picker and scaffold towers, giving you peace of mind that we can clean every inch of your roof.

Gutter Cleaning - Step 1 Inspection

Safety Assessment & Full Inspection

We do a full safety assessment of the site so that we can safely use our specialist equipment.

We complete an on-site inspection to determine which roof cleaning method is most effective. 

Roof Cleaning Services Preparation

Preparing The Site

We use tarpaulins to cover outdoor furniture.

We disconnect downpipes to prevent unnecessary blockages from moss and debris, and to prevent water butts from contaminating.

Roof Cleaning Services Cleaning

Roof Cleaning

We remove the moss and debris from your roof using the appropriate cleaning method.

As part of the roof cleaning service we also offer free gutter cleaning using carbon fibre vacuum poles to remove leaves, moss, twigs and other debris. 

We reconnect downpipes and ensure that there are no blockages. This is followed by a water test to make sure that there are no leaks.

We also clean the soffits and fascias, rinse down walls, windows and frames, driveways, and patios at no added cost.

Roof Cleaning Services Biocide Application

Biocide Treatment

After each roof clean we add a biocide anti-fungal treatment, a chemical mix which prevents the regrowth of moss on your roof.

Our biocide treatment is fully regulated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Gutter Cleaning - Step 4 Waste Removal and Cleanup

Ground-Level Tidy Up & Inspection

Water butts are reconnected, and any remaining ground-level debris is collected and removed.

We review the completed work and ensure that you are satisfied with the service.

Pressure Washing Surface Cleaner System

We use a Mosmatic surface cleaner, a specialist rotary pressure washing cleaner built from stainless steel. It sits flat against your roof and spins water across the surface using swivels, spreading the pressure evenly to give the roof a thorough clean without causing any damage to the tiles underneath.

Hot Wash Surface Cleaner System

We use the same surface cleaner system as above, but with heated water. The heat allows us to reduce the water flow whilst still achieving a thorough clean, making it the right option for older or more delicate roofs.

Scraping

We manually scrape the moss directly from the roof surface by hand. We can also apply a sodium hypochlorite treatment to remove any remaining stains.

What Is The Best Roof Cleaning Method for Your Property?

Roofs come in all different shapes, sizes and materials. We will recommend the best cleaning method for your roof.

Every clean includes a biocide treatment as standard, backed by our three-year guarantee. If any moss returns within three years, we will come back and re-apply the biocide for free.

Our biodegradable biocide coats the roof, killing and preventing the regrowth of moss over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your exterior clean.

What are the signs that I need to get my roof cleaned?

Significant moss growth on your roof – particularly in between the tiles.

Blocked gutters – which can often be caused by a build-up of debris on the roof. When the gutters start to overflow, algae can spread from the roof to walls and windows, which can lead to mould growth inside your property.

Damp in your property – could be caused by excess moss growth. Moss can crack tiling, allowing water to seep inside your property.

To protect your roof from structural damage, having a biocide treatment applied every 3 years will prevent the growth of moss and other harmful organisms.

Restoring the aesthetics of your roof might require more regular service, particularly if your property is surrounded by trees; debris can accumulate quickly. North-facing or roofs in shaded areas will require more attention as moss thrives in dark/damp areas.

This depends on the size of the roof and the type of cleaning method. Typically, we complete our roof cleaning service within one day.
