Question 1

How does your roof cleaning work?

Accepted Answer

We use a specialist low-pressure surface cleaner that safely removes moss, algae, and organic growth without damaging your tiles. Unlike high-pressure jet washing, our approach protects the integrity of your roof while still delivering a thorough, even, long-lasting clean.

Question 2

Will pressure washing damage my roof tiles?

Accepted Answer

High-pressure washing can crack or dislodge tiles and strip protective coatings, which is why we don’t use it as a default on delicate or aged roofs. Instead we favour soft washing, which uses low pressure and targeted treatments to clean effectively without harming the tiles. Where a firmer approach is genuinely needed, we assess the tile type first and adjust our method to keep your roof safe.

Question 3

How long do the results last?

Accepted Answer

Because our biocide treatment kills moss and algae at the root rather than just removing the surface growth, results typically last several years. The exact lifespan depends on your roof’s aspect, surrounding trees, and local conditions — north-facing and heavily shaded roofs tend to regrow faster. We’re happy to recommend a maintenance schedule to keep your roof clean long-term.

Question 4

Why does moss and algae need removing?

Accepted Answer

Moss and algae hold moisture against your tiles, which accelerates wear and can lead to cracking during frost. Built-up moss also blocks gutters and valleys, causing water to pool or overflow and potentially damage your roof structure and walls. Beyond the visual improvement, removing it protects the roof’s lifespan and helps prevent costly repairs down the line.
