What does roof cleaning service include and what is the process?

Step 1

Initial assessment and inspection

The overall condition is checked before cleaning begins. The roofing material, level of contamination and any sensitive areas are assessed to determine the appropriate cleaning method.

Step 2

Removal of contaminants

Moss, algae, lichen, mould and dirt accumulated over time are removed, along with organic debris such as leaves or seeds, which can retain moisture and affect the roof in the long term.

Step 3

Cleaning using appropriate methods

We use suitable cleaning methods depending on the condition and type of roof, including low-pressure soft washing with specialist solutions, manual or mechanical cleaning (scraping) and in certain cases steam cleaning or controlled jet washing, where the material and conditions allow

Step 4

Application of preventive treatments

After cleaning, preventive treatments are applied, including biocidal solutions that help inhibit the regrowth of moss and algae, contributing to roof protection and maintaining a clean appearance for longer periods.

Step 5

Gutter and downpipe cleaning

If required, we clean gutters and downpipes to prevent blockages caused by debris falling from the roof and to ensure proper water drainage.

Step 6

Final inspection and clean-up

At the end, our team ensures the roof is clean and the work has been carried out correctly. Any remaining debris is removed and the area is left clean and tidy, in line with professional standards.

FAQs about our roof cleaning services

How often should a roof be cleaned?

The frequency of roof cleaning depends on several factors, including local weather conditions, the property’s location and the type of roofing material. As a general guideline, roof cleaning is recommended every 2–5 years. However, if visible build-up or changes in the roof’s appearance are noticed, earlier cleaning is advised to help prevent potential damage.

Is this type of cleaning safe for all types of roofs?

Yes, this type of cleaning is safe for most roof types when carried out correctly. Cleaning methods are selected based on the roofing material to ensure effective results without causing damage. Before any work begins, the roof type and its condition are assessed to determine the most suitable approach.

Are moss, algae and lichen completely removed?

In most cases, moss, algae and lichen are effectively removed during the cleaning process. Depending on the level of build-up and the type of roof, additional treatments may be applied to help inhibit regrowth over time.

How long does roof cleaning usually take?

The duration of roof cleaning depends on the size of the roof, its condition and the type of material. In most cases, the work is completed within 1–2 days. Larger roofs or those with heavier build-up may require additional time.

Do I need to be at home during the cleaning?

In most cases, you do not need to be at home during the cleaning, as long as access to the exterior of the property is available. All details are agreed in advance and the work is carried out safely without the need for internal access.

Is the team fully insured for this type of work?

Yes, all work is covered by public liability insurance of up to £5 million. In the unlikely event of any incident or damage occurring during the work, you are fully protected.

Can regular roof cleaning help extend the lifespan of the property?

Yes, regular roof cleaning helps maintain roofing materials in good condition and reduces long-term wear. Removing build-up supports better protection against environmental factors and contributes to the long-term durability of the property.

Does roof cleaning also include gutter cleaning?

Roof cleaning does not usually include gutter cleaning as standard. Gutter cleaning can be provided as a separate service or added on request, depending on the needs of the property. All details are agreed before work begins.
