Roof Cleaning in Berkshire

Algae, lichen and general grime build up on a roof over the years, hold moisture against the tiles and wash down to block the gutters. A careful clean gets the roof shedding water properly again and makes a tired-looking house look cared for.

We clean by hand and softwash rather than blasting the roof with high pressure, which can strip the surface off older tiles and force water underneath. Once the roof is clean we can apply a biocide treatment that keeps algae and moss at bay, and we check the tiles and flashing while we are up there.

Common questions

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Will pressure washing damage my roof?

High pressure can strip the protective surface off older tiles and force water under them. We clean by hand and softwash rather than aggressive jetting.

Do you offer a roof coating?

We can apply a protective treatment after cleaning. We are honest about what a coating will and will not do, so you can decide whether it is worth it for your roof.

Why should I have my roof cleaned?

A thick layer of algae and moss holds water against the tiles, blocks the gutters and makes the house look neglected. A clean gets the roof shedding water again.

How long does roof cleaning take?

Most domestic roofs are cleaned in a day, depending on size, pitch and how much growth there is. A follow-up treatment is quick.

Is roof cleaning safe for older tiles?

It is the way we do it. We clean by hand and softwash rather than high pressure, which protects older and more brittle tiles.
