Safe moss scraping and biocide treatment to restore the look of your roof and slow regrowth. We do not use aggressive high pressure washing on tiled roofs.
We do not use aggressive high pressure washing on tiled roofs.
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.

Learn MoreUnderstanding the real impact of moss and why regular cleaning protects your property investment and extends roof lifespan.
A professionally cleaned roof can significantly improve kerb appeal and first impressions. Estate agents and surveyors often flag heavy moss growth.
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.
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.
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.
A clean roof dramatically improves how your property looks from the street. First impressions matter, especially when selling or renting your home.
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.
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.
A step by step approach that prioritises safety and delivers lasting results
We inspect your roof to assess moss coverage, tile condition and access requirements. Photos taken to document the starting condition.

Moss is carefully scraped by hand using specialist tools. We work tile by tile to avoid damage and ensure thorough removal from the surface.
All scraped moss and debris is cleared from the roof surface, gutters and downpipes. Ground areas are tidied and waste is removed from site.
Professional biocide is applied across the cleaned roof surface. This treatment helps prevent moss and algae regrowth for months ahead.
We carry out a final inspection and provide before and after photos showing the completed work and improved roof condition.
Transparent pricing based on your specific roof requirements
Every roof is different. We provide accurate quotes based on your specific requirements.
Roof cleaning prices depend on roof size, pitch, moss coverage and access requirements. We provide fixed quotes after inspection, with no hidden extras.

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.
