What Is Roof Cleaning?

Roof cleaning is the process of safely removing moss, algae, lichen and organic debris from roof tiles using manual scraping tools and low pressure cleaning methods. It is not the same as high pressure roof washing, which can damage tiles and force water under the roof covering.

Our approach focuses on hand scraping moss from the surface, followed by a professional biocide treatment that helps prevent regrowth. This method is safer for your roof and more effective long term.

Why Moss Is Harmful If Left Untreated

  • Holds moisture against tiles, which can lead to frost damage in winter
  • Lifts and cracks tiles as roots grow underneath the surface
  • Blocks drainage paths and causes water to pool or run incorrectly
  • Reduces kerb appeal and can affect property value and saleability
  • Flags up in surveys and viewings, causing concern for buyers
Why It Matters

Why Roof Cleaning
Protects Your Property

Understanding the real impact of moss and why regular cleaning protects your property investment and extends roof lifespan.

Selling Your Property Soon?

A professionally cleaned roof can significantly improve kerb appeal and first impressions. Estate agents and surveyors often flag heavy moss growth.

Moisture

Moss Holds Moisture

Moss acts like a sponge, holding water against your tiles. This constant moisture can lead to frost damage in winter and accelerate tile deterioration over time.

Tile Damage

Can Damage Tiles Over Time

As moss roots grow, they can lift tiles and work their way underneath the surface. This creates gaps where water can enter and causes tiles to crack or break.

Drainage

Blocks Drainage Paths

Heavy moss growth blocks the natural flow of water down your roof. This causes pooling, incorrect runoff and can lead to leaks or gutter overflow.

Kerb Appeal

Improves Kerb Appeal

A clean roof dramatically improves how your property looks from the street. First impressions matter, especially when selling or renting your home.

Property Value

Helps When Selling

Estate agents and buyers notice roof condition immediately. A moss covered roof can reduce offers or put buyers off entirely. A clean roof helps your property present better.

Survey Ready

Better for Surveys and Viewings

Surveyors often flag heavy moss growth as a concern. Cleaning your roof before viewings or surveys helps avoid unnecessary questions and shows the property is well maintained.

Professional roof cleaning and moss removal services across Kent, London and Surrey. L&O Roofline Solutions specialises in safe manual moss scraping, low pressure cleaning methods and professional biocide treatment for domestic properties. We help homeowners restore the appearance of their roofs, extend roof lifespan and improve kerb appeal without using aggressive high pressure washing that can damage tiles.

Our roof cleaning service is designed for UK homeowners who want to protect their property investment and maintain their roof in good condition. Many of our customers are preparing to sell or rent their homes and need their roof to look its best for viewings, photos and surveys. A clean roof makes a significant difference to first impressions and can help avoid questions or concerns from estate agents, surveyors and potential buyers.

Moss removal is not just about appearance. Moss holds moisture against roof tiles, which can lead to frost damage in winter and accelerate tile deterioration over time. As moss roots grow, they can lift tiles and work their way underneath the surface, creating gaps where water can enter. Heavy moss growth also blocks the natural flow of water down your roof, causing pooling, incorrect runoff and potential leaks or gutter overflow. Regular roof cleaning helps prevent these issues and extends the working life of your roof covering.

We use manual moss scraping with specialist hand tools rather than high pressure washing. This method is safer for your tiles and more effective at removing moss from the surface without forcing water underneath the roof covering or damaging the tile structure. After scraping, we apply a professional biocide treatment that helps slow moss and algae regrowth for 12 to 18 months, depending on roof orientation, tree coverage and local climate. This treatment is industry approved and safe when applied correctly by trained professionals.

Our roof cleaning process includes a full survey and access check, manual moss removal, surface tidy and debris removal, biocide treatment application and a final inspection with before and after photo report. All moss and debris is cleared from gutters and downpipes after roof work is completed, and ground areas are tidied with all waste removed from site. We provide fixed price quotes after inspection, with no hidden extras or surprises.

Selling your property soon? A professionally cleaned roof can significantly improve kerb appeal and first impressions. Estate agents and surveyors often flag heavy moss growth as a concern during viewings and surveys. A clean roof helps your property present better in photos and viewings, and shows that the property has been well maintained. Many of our customers book roof cleaning specifically before putting their home on the market to maximise sale value and reduce buyer concerns.

We are fully insured with £10 million public liability cover and follow strict safety protocols for all roof access work.

Scaffolding is only needed for very steep roofs, difficult access properties or where extended work is required. We assess access during the initial survey and include any scaffolding costs in the fixed quote if needed. Drone inspections are also available where detailed roof assessment is required before work begins.
