Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Services
Moss and dirt build up on roofs over time. Most people don’t notice until there’s a leak or a tile cracks. Getting your roof cleaned regularly stops small problems from turning into expensive ones.
We clean all types of roofs including tiles, slates and flat roofs. We remove moss, algae, lichen and any built-up debris. Once the roof is clean we apply a treatment that slows down future growth and keeps things looking good for longer.
Alongside the roof itself we also clear your gutters and check the drainage is working properly. Blocked gutters cause water to back up and that leads to damp and damage inside your home.
What Our Roof Cleaning Providers Do
Roof cleaning is the process of removing moss, algae, lichen and general dirt from the surface of your roof. It is done using specialist equipment and cleaning solutions that get the job done without damaging your tiles or slates.
It is not just about looks. A clean roof drains water properly, lasts longer and gives you fewer problems down the line. It is one of the easiest forms of home maintenance to overlook but one of the most important to keep on top of.

Why Invest in Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Services
Leaving moss and dirt on your roof is not harmless. Moss holds water and that water gets into small gaps in your tiles. In winter it freezes and expands and that breaks tiles from the inside. By the time you see damage it has already been going on for a while.
Getting your roof cleaned every couple of years is far cheaper than replacing tiles or dealing with a leak inside your home. It also keeps your roof looking good and can help with the value of your property if you are looking to sell.
We are rated 9.91 out of 10 on Checkatrade. We show up on time, we do the job properly and we tell you what we find. No upselling, no unnecessary work, just honest service.
