Moss, lichen and black mould do more than look bad. They hold moisture against the roof, block water flow and wear the surface down. A proper pressure clean gets rid of the lot.
We clean tiled and metal roofs with the right pressure for the surface, so the roof comes up clean without cracked tiles or stripped coatings.
A pressure clean is priced on the size and pitch of the roof and how much growth is on it. We look first, then give you a free written quote, so you know the full cost before we start.
If you are thinking about painting the roof later, ask us to quote both. Cleaning is the first step of every restoration, so there is no point paying for it twice.
We check for cracked tiles and loose ridges first, because cleaning a damaged roof can let water in.
Downpipes, garden beds and anything below the roof line are protected from runoff and debris.
We work from the top down at a pressure set for the surface, taking off moss, lichen, mould and loose material.
Gutters and downpipes are cleared of what came off the roof, and we let you know about anything we spotted that needs attention.
Not when it is done properly. The pressure is set for the surface, and we check for damage before we start so a cracked tile is fixed rather than made worse.
It depends on shade, nearby trees and how much growth builds up. Roofs under trees or near the coast tend to need it sooner than roofs in full sun.
Cleaning removes it, but growth will return over time on an unsealed roof. Sealing and painting after the clean helps keep the surface protected for longer.
It helps. Water and debris come off the roof edges, so we will ask you to move anything close to the house before we start.
