Slate and clay roof cleaning in Didsbury
Around Burton Road, Palatine Road and the village, many homes still have their original slate or clay tile roofs. They've lasted over a century, and with the right care they'll keep going.
Pressure washing is the wrong tool for these roofs. We take the moss off by hand, apply a treatment that kills the spores, and clear out the gutters and downpipes. Then we send you before and after photos.

BeforeAfterWhy Didsbury roofs need a gentle touch
Century-old roofs
Original slate and clay need hand cleaning, not high pressure.
Leafy streets and parks
Tree-lined roads and green spaces like Fletcher Moss keep roofs damp.
Tall, shaded slopes
Big semis and terraces cast shade across each other's roofs.
Roof cleaning costs in Didsbury
A terrace off Burton Road and a large semi near the village are priced very differently. Email us a few photos and your postcode and we'll send an estimate based on your actual roof.

How we clean Didsbury roofs
Check and protect
We look over the roof, then protect paths, plants and cars below.
Moss off by hand
The bulk of the moss is removed by hand, so tiles aren't damaged.
Roof treated
A biocide treatment kills lichen, algae and spores, and keeps working after we leave.
Gutters cleared
Everything that comes off is cleared from the gutters and downpipes.
Photos sent
Before and after photos of your roof, so you can see the difference.

Not sure what yours is? Tell us about it in the form and we'll let you know.
Can you clean a Victorian slate roof?
Yes. Slate is cleaned by hand and treated, never pressure washed, so the slates and fixings aren't disturbed.
Do you cover West Didsbury and Withington?
Yes, all of M20, including West and East Didsbury, Parrs Wood and the Withington borders.
Is it safe to clean an old clay tile roof?
Yes, with the right method. We don't use high pressure on clay tiles, and if we spot any cracked or slipped tiles we'll let you know.
Do I need to be home?
Not usually. As long as we can get to the roof, we agree access beforehand and send you before and after photos when the job is done.
