Why it matters
A clean roof lasts longer
Stops tile damage
Moss holds water against the tiles. When it freezes it lifts and cracks them, and loose moss blocks the gutters.
Looks cared for again
The roof is the first thing people see from the street. Most of the moss comes off on the day, and the biocide clears what's left over the next two to three weeks.
Stays clean for years
The biocide keeps protecting the roof after we leave, so the moss stays away.

· 5 reviewsTerry did a fantastic job cleaning and re-sanding our block paving driveway. It looks so much fresher and has made a huge difference. We had some old cement stains from previous building work that unfortunately couldn't all be removed, but Terry gave it a proper go and was completely honest about it from the start.

Soft-wash head, low pressureHow we clean
Low pressure. Never blasted.
Pressure washing a roof looks quick, but it can damage tiles and it leaves the roots behind. We soft wash at low pressure, then treat the roof so it stays clean.
Our way
- Low pressure only, gentle on every tile
- Soft wash lifts moss and lichen off the tiles
- Gutters vacuumed and flushed
- Tarpaulin down, everything cleared away
Pressure washing
- High pressure can crack and lift tiles
- Wears away the surface of concrete tiles
- Drives water under the ridge
- Leaves the roots, so moss grows back
Biocide going on after the cleanWhy it stays clean
Treated to stay clean. Guaranteed for three years.
Cleaning takes the moss off. The biocide is what keeps it off: it goes on after every clean and treats the roof right down to the root.
- Nearly all the moss comes off on the day
- The biocide clears what's left over the next two to three weeks
- It keeps protecting the roof after we leave, so it stays clean for years

On the day
What happens when we arrive
Terry, the owner, is on every job, sometimes with a labourer. The same careful routine on every roof, from the first knock to the final walk round.
1We walk round with you
We arrive on time and walk round the house with you first, so you know the plan before anything starts.
2Tarpaulin down, neighbours told
Neighbours below the roof line get a knock, and tarpaulin goes down so nothing lands on their side.
3Low-pressure clean
Every slope cleaned with low pressure only. Then your gutters cleared and fascias washed down, free.
4Biocide, then a proper tidy-up
Biocide goes on to treat what's left at the root, then we clear up everything before we go.

Roof cleaning and moss removal questions
How much does roof cleaning cost?
Most homes cost £650 to £950, with the biocide, gutters, fascias and soffits included. A bungalow is £450 to £550, and a large or hipped roof from £1,150. Your exact price is fixed before we start. No deposit, and no VAT to add. See our roof cleaning prices.
Do you charge extra for the gutters and fascias?
No. Every roof clean includes a free gutter clear and a free fascia & soffit clean. Both are done on the same day as the roof. We also do gutter clearing on its own.
Can you price my roof without coming out?
Usually, yes. We can see the size and shape of your roof and how much moss is on it without coming out, and photos you send help too. If anything is unclear, such as access at the back, we arrange a free visit first. Either way, the price we give you is the price you pay.
Will cleaning damage my tiles?
No. We use low pressure only, never high-pressure blasting. We photograph the roof before we start, and if a tile is disturbed during the clean we replace it like for like at no cost.
How long does it take?
Most homes are done in one day, gutters and tidy-up included. Large or complicated roofs can take two, and we tell you which when we quote.
How long will it stay clean?
For years. Most of the moss comes off on the day, and the biocide clears what's left over two to three weeks, then keeps it away. Every roof clean comes with a written 3-year moss-free guarantee: if moss clearly grows back in that time, we re-clean the roof free.
Do I need to be at home?
Just at the start, so we can walk round with you, and at the end to sign it off. In between we only need access to the garden and drive, an outside tap and a power socket.
What about my neighbours?
We let any neighbours below the roof line know before we start, and lay tarpaulin so nothing lands on their garden, drive or car.
Which roofs can you clean?
Concrete tiles, clay tiles and slate, on bungalows, chalet bungalows, terraces, semis and detached houses. Garage, porch, bay and conservatory roofs can be done on the same visit.
Is the biocide safe?
Yes. We use a professional roof biocide at the maker's dilution, sprayed onto the roof only, with tarpaulin down below. Keep pets indoors while it goes on.
What if it rains?
We still come. Rain makes no difference to the clean or the treatment. We only move your date if strong wind or frost makes it unsafe to work at height.
Does moss really damage a roof?
Over time, yes. Roof moss holds water against the tiles, frost then lifts and cracks them, and the clumps block gutters so water runs down the walls.
Can I scrape the moss off myself?
You can, but working at height is the risky part, and scraping leaves the roots behind. Without a biocide, moss grows straight back.
Should I pressure wash the moss off?
No. High pressure can crack tiles, wear away the surface of concrete tiles and drive water under the ridge. We use low pressure only.
Is a mossy roof a sign it needs replacing?
Usually not. Most moss sits on sound tiles. If we spot slipped or cracked tiles we photograph them and tell you before we start, and can put you in touch with a roofer we trust.
