Signs your roof needs cleaning
If you can see any of these from the street, the growth on your roof is already doing some damage.
Moss on the tiles
Green cushions along the tile edges hold water against the roof and lift the tiles as they grow.
Lichen spots
Crusty yellow and grey patches that grip the surface. Scraping alone won't shift them.
Dark streaks and staining
Algae spreading down the slope, usually worst where the roof sees the least sun.
Moss in the gutters
Clumps falling into the gutters and blocking downpipes are a sure sign of what's above.

Every roof cleaning job finishes with before and after photos. Here's one we did earlier.

We look over the roof first, then protect paths, plants and cars below.

A biocide treatment kills lichen, algae and spores, and keeps working after we leave.

Everything that comes off is cleared from the gutters and downpipes.

Why clean your roof?
Protects the tiles
Moss holds water and lifts tiles at the edges. Removing it takes that pressure off.
Keeps gutters flowing
Less moss on the roof means less ending up in your gutters and downpipes.
Instant kerb appeal
A clean roof changes how the whole house looks from the street.
Slows regrowth
The treatment keeps working after we leave, so growth comes back slower.

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?
No. The bulk of the moss is taken off by hand and the roof is then treated, so we're working with your tiles rather than against them. We'll talk you through the method for your roof before we start.
How long does a roof clean last?
The treatment keeps working after we leave and slows regrowth, but how long a roof stays clean depends on shade, nearby trees and which way it faces. We'll give you honest advice for your roof.
Is moss on a roof actually a problem?
It can be. Moss holds water against the tiles, can lift them at the edges and falls into gutters, where it causes blockages and overflows.
Which types of roof do you clean?
Concrete tiles, clay tiles and slate roofs are all fine. If you're unsure about yours, send us a photo and we'll tell you.
Do you clear the gutters after a roof clean?
Yes. Everything that comes off the roof is cleared from the gutters and downpipes before we leave.
Can you clean a roof in winter?
Yes, for most of the year. The treatment works best in a dry spell, so we plan around the forecast and will rearrange if the weather isn't right.
Tell us about the job. We'll do the rest.
