The Roof Cleaning Work We Handle

Roof cleaning is not just about appearance. Done properly, it helps protect the roof and extend its lifespan. These are the types of work we’re regularly called out for
01
Moss removal
Moss can trap moisture against tiles and cause them to lift or crack over time. We safely remove moss without damaging the roof covering, ensuring the surface is properly cleared.
02
Manual roof cleaning
We carry out careful, manual cleaning methods suited to the condition of the roof. This avoids unnecessary damage that can be caused by aggressive cleaning techniques.
03
Roof treatment and prevention
After cleaning, we can apply treatments to slow down moss regrowth and help keep the roof clear for longer
04
Gutter clearing after cleaning
Moss and debris often end up in the guttering after removal. We clear gutters as part of the process to ensure water can drain properly.
05
General roof surface cleaning
In addition to moss removal, we clean dirt, algae, and staining to improve the overall condition and appearance of the roof.

Signs Your Roof May Need Cleaning

Moss and debris tend to build up gradually, so it’s easy to miss until it becomes more serious

05
