Roof Cleaning

How often should my roof be professionally cleaned?

Most residential roofs benefit from professional roof cleaning every 2–3 years, depending on the local environment and the amount of shade, trees, and moisture around your home. Properties exposed to heavy moss growth or surrounded by trees may require more frequent maintenance. Regular cleaning not only improves appearance but also prevents long-term structural issues and costly repairs.

Is roof cleaning safe for all roof types?

Yes. Our professional roof cleaning methods are tailored to the specific needs of each roof type, including tiled, slate, flat, GRP, felt, and EPDM systems. We avoid high-pressure washing on delicate materials, instead using safe soft-washing, manual removal, and biocide treatments. These techniques ensure effective cleaning without causing damage to tiles, membranes, or fixings.

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

When carried out by trained specialists, roof cleaning is completely safe and will not damage your tiles. We carefully assess your roof before starting any work and choose the most appropriate cleaning method. By avoiding harsh techniques and focusing on gentle, controlled removal of moss and debris, we ensure your roof remains structurally sound throughout the process.

Does removing moss really help extend my roof’s lifespan?

Moss and algae growth can trap moisture against your roof surface, leading to tile deterioration, cracking during winter freeze, blocked gutters, and water ingress. Removing moss eliminates these risks and allows your roofing materials to stay dry and functional. With the addition of a biocide treatment, we help prevent regrowth, ensuring long-term protection and an extended roof lifespan.

Do you offer preventative treatments after cleaning?

Yes. Once your roof is fully cleaned, we apply a professional-grade biocide treatment that penetrates the surface and prevents moss, algae, and lichen from returning. This preventative step keeps your roof cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. It also improves drainage, protects roofing materials, and ensures your roof stays in optimal condition between scheduled cleanings.
