Your roof clean includes

Everything below is part of the service — not optional extras priced on top.

  1. Pre-clean roof inspection

    An experienced roofer checks the roof before cleaning and notes any visible issues or repairs that may need attention now or in the near future.

  2. Scaffold tower access

    The moss removal is carried out from a scaffold tower. Access arrangements are assessed for the property and explained before work begins.

  3. Air-powered moss removal

    Specialist air-powered scraping equipment removes the moss without high-pressure water jetting during the scraping stage.

  4. Gutter cleaning

    Gutters are cleared as part of the roof-cleaning service — not as an optional upgrade.

  5. Biocide treatment

    A biocide (a treatment that targets organic growth like moss, algae and lichen) is included to tackle remaining growth and help control regrowth.

  6. Three-year no-moss-regrowth guarantee

    Your roof clean includes our three-year no-moss-regrowth guarantee. If the moss returns within that period, we'll sort it.

Repairs are quoted separately: If the inspection identifies repairs, we explain what we've found and quote for them separately before any repair work is agreed. Repairs are not included in the roof clean.

Our method

The moss comes off without high-pressure water jetting.

A compressor powers the specialist scraper, which lifts moss from the roof surface. We work from a scaffold tower, clear the gutters and apply the included treatment after scraping.

Air-powered scraping

Compressed air drives the scraper, lifting moss and lichen off the tile surface mechanically — not by blasting it with high-pressure water.

Assessed for your roof

An experienced roofer inspects the tile material, pitch and condition before starting. If a roof is too fragile for cleaning, we'll tell you straight away.

No high-pressure water

This describes the moss-removal stage. The biocide treatment applied afterwards is a separate step, so the service as a whole isn't water-free.

"I use the scraper because it gets the moss off without hammering the tiles."

You'll get an honest assessment and a quote that reflects what your roof actually needs. If the roof is too fragile, or the moss isn't worth the risk, I'll tell you straight away — and you can ask me anything before the day.

Before any appointment I want you to know exactly what's included, what isn't, and how the work will be carried out. Clear scope. Agreed price. A straightforward point of contact.

Roof cleaning FAQs

An experienced roofer inspects your roof's tile material, age, pitch and condition first. Our standard approach is the air-powered scraper, rather than high-pressure washing. If a roof is too fragile for any cleaning, we'll tell you before we start.

It's specialist roof-scraping equipment driven by a compressor that lifts moss and lichen off the tile surface using compressed air. It removes the growth mechanically instead of blasting it with high-pressure water, which we avoid on roofs because it can crack tiles and scatter debris.

Most can, but some very fragile or badly deteriorated roofs are better left alone. If we think cleaning could do more harm than good, we'll tell you straight away rather than take the risk.

Yes. Gutters are cleared as part of the roof-cleaning service — it isn't an optional upgrade. If the inspection identifies repairs, those are quoted separately before any repair work is agreed.

Your roof clean includes our three-year no-moss-regrowth guarantee. The biocide treatment helps control regrowth, and if the moss returns within the guarantee period, we'll sort it.

The moss removal is carried out from a scaffold tower. Access arrangements are assessed for your property's height and pitch and explained before work begins.

Roof work is weather-dependent for safety and effectiveness. If conditions aren't suitable on the day, we'll rearrange for the next available slot rather than carry on regardless.
