Moss holds significant moisture, increasing the risk of cracked and lifted tiles during freezing weather. The excessive growth can also stress your roof structure and constantly clog your gutters. Blocked channels on your roof stop rainwater from flowing properly, increasing the risk of leaks and damage to your property.
Removing this organic growth is essential preventative maintenance that not only protects your home from leaks but also instantly enhances the entire property's visual appeal.
How Often Should You Clean?
Once treated and cleaned, the roof will stay protected for several years. We recommend a full moss-killing treatment every 3 to 5 years, with regular gutter maintenance in between.
Comprehensive Roof Care
Roof maintenance is one of the most important services for the longevity of your home. We use a safe and efficient approach to ensure no one walks on your roof, eliminating the risk of cracking or disturbing tiles. We achieve high-level access by deploying either boom/telescopic poles or, for especially high and hard-to-reach areas, using a mobile scaffolding tower.
We use a specialist water-fed pole system with adjustable pressure washing to gently and effectively remove heavy moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from the surface of most roof types. This process is highly effective at restoring the tile’s original colour and delivering a dramatic, immediate clean.
For the deepest sterilisation, we also offer an optional Hot Steam upgrade. This high-temperature application uses the sanitising power of steam to penetrate and kill deep seated organic spores and roots, providing a deep sterilisation that significantly protects against immediate regrowth and leaves a flawless finish.
Why Roof Cleaning?
Frequently asked questions
"Does roof cleaning guarantee no leaks?"
Cleaning is an excellent first step in leak prevention by removing moisture-trapping moss. As part of our service, we can highlight any potential problem areas, like slipped tiles or worn lead flashing, that need attention from a roofing professional, saving you money on future repairs.
"What happens to the moss once it's removed?"
All moss, debris, and runoff are fully contained and carefully removed from your property.
"Do you use a high-pressure washer on the roof?"
Absolutely not. High-pressure washing can damage the protective granules on your roof tiles and force water underneath the tiles, causing leaks. We use a controlled pressure washing technique.
