Roof Cleaning

Moss, algae, lichen and organic growth can build up on roofs over time, affecting their appearance and potentially contributing to deterioration if left unmanaged.

We provide professional roof cleaning using an approach suited to the roof type and its condition.

A Surface-Specific Approach

Roofs need a different approach from hard landscaping.

We assess the roof and select a cleaning method for the material, its condition and the level of contamination.

Depending on the roof, this may involve appropriate mechanical cleaning, softer cleaning methods, or a chemical treatment.

Chemical Treatment

Where appropriate, a chemical treatment can be applied as part of the roof clean to help tackle remaining organic contamination such as moss, algae and lichen.

The treatment needs to be appropriate for the roof material and the type of contamination present.

FAQs

Will roof cleaning damage tiles?

We assess the roof covering and its condition before any work. The method is chosen for that roof, rather than using an approach that is unsuitable for the tiles.

How do you remove moss?

Moss is removed with a method suited to the roof type and the amount of growth. That can include appropriate mechanical cleaning, softer cleaning methods and, where suitable, a chemical treatment.

Do you pressure wash roofs?

Not every roof is suitable for the same cleaning method. We assess the roof covering and its condition before determining whether pressure washing, softer cleaning methods or another approach is appropriate.

Do you use chemical treatments?

Where appropriate, a chemical treatment can be applied as part of the roof-cleaning process to help tackle remaining organic contamination such as moss, algae and lichen. The treatment is chosen for the roof material and the type of contamination present.

How long does roof cleaning take?

It depends on the size of the roof, the access and how much growth is present. Photos help us give you a realistic idea before the work is booked.

Do I need to be home?

You do not always need to be home if we can access the property safely. We will tell you what access we need when the job is confirmed.
