Roof cleaning and moss removal

We remove moss by hand, soft wash the roof at low pressure and apply a biocide that keeps killing spores for months. We do not pressure wash tiled or slate roofs. It strips the surface off concrete tiles and brings moss back faster, and on slate it drives water under the laps.

Gutter cleaning

We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.

Why use a roofer for cleaning?

Because a cleaner sees moss, and a roofer sees the slipped tile under it, the cracked mortar on the ridge and the gutter bracket about to fail. Every visit comes with photos of anything that needs attention, and no pressure to fix it.

Why not pressure wash?

Pressure washing strips the protective surface from concrete tiles, making them more porous so moss returns faster. On slate it forces water under the laps into the roof. Soft washing with a biocide cleans properly and keeps working for months.
