ROOF CLEANING
Safe and effective moss and algae removal to protect and extend the life of your roof across Northamptonshire
Why Roof Cleaning Matters
Moss and algae can damage your roof tiles, reduce their lifespan, block water drainage, and lead to costly repairs or premature replacement. Professional cleaning protects your investment and maintains your home's value.
What Is Professional Roof Cleaning?
Professional roof cleaning uses specialized soft washing techniques to safely remove moss, algae, and lichen from your roof without causing damage. Unlike high-pressure washing which can shatter tiles and force water under roofing materials, soft washing applies low-pressure biocidal treatments that kill organic growth at the root.
The process involves careful application of cleaning solutions, allowing proper dwell time for the treatment to work, and gentle removal of debris. This method is safe for all roof types including concrete tiles, clay tiles, slate, and flat roofs, providing long-lasting protection without the risks associated with aggressive cleaning methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is roof cleaning safe for my tiles?
Yes, when done professionally. We use soft washing techniques with low-pressure application and biocidal treatments. This is much safer than high-pressure washing which can damage tiles, strip protective coatings, and force water under tiles.
How often should I clean my roof?
Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 2-3 years. However, north-facing roofs or those in shaded areas with heavy moss growth may need more frequent cleaning to prevent damage and maintain appearance.
Will roof cleaning stop moss from growing back?
Our biocidal treatments kill moss at the root and provide residual protection. Results typically last 2-3 years. Regular maintenance cleaning extends your roof's life and keeps moss from becoming a serious problem.
Do you clear gutters as part of roof cleaning?
Yes, we can combine roof cleaning with gutter clearing as part of a complete service. Clean gutters are essential for proper drainage and protecting your property from water damage.
