Step by step: Our cleaning process

Roof Cleaning

Our first job is to sheet up all the surrounding areas of your property to protect your surfaces and collect all the debris that falls. We also block all your drainpipes so that the moss doesn’t fall into them.



Using our specialist roof scraping equipment we work from ground level to remove all the build-up of moss from your roof tiles.

Next, we apply a layer of our smart clean extreme roof cleaner. It’s powerful enough to break down all known algae, moss and dirt in a safe, biodegradable way.

Once the smart clean extreme roof cleaning solution has impregnated the surface of your roof, we wash down and apply a roof sealant which protects tiles from the damp British weather and creates a resilient barrier that prevents dirt and debris from settling on the surface.

We then gather up the sheeting and remove all mess and waste from your property.

Gutter Cleaning

While we wait 45 mins for our roof cleaner to take effect, we keep busy with our Sky Vacs, cleaning out any debris from your gutters. Our Sky Vacs allow us to work from the safety of ground level whilst performing a thorough moss removal from your guttering.

Questions? We have answers

How long does it take to clean a roof?

There are many different factors that affect how long a roof takes to clean - everything from the actual size, how difficult it is in terms of access, the gradient of the roof, whether specialist equipment is needed to access the roof itself, and ultimately how dirty the actual roof is. Typically a two-man team will be able to clean a roof of around 100 m² in a day.

Is roof cleaning safe for my tiles/shingles?

Yes, it is. We employ lots of different methods from hot and cold low-pressure jet washing, to scrapers, to commercial grade biocides, and also soft wash methods. Each roof is unique and we use our industry knowledge, professionalism, and experience to select the appropriate method.

Do you clean other exterior surfaces?

Yes, we do. We offer a comprehensive service where we can clean driveways, fences, walls, PVC windows and doors, conservatories, and various paths and walkways.

What kind of equipment do you use?

We use hot and cold pressure washers, soft wash poles, gutter vacuums, as well as a variety of different access equipment from aluminium tele-scaffolding to boardwalks.

Is roof cleaning suitable for all types of roofs?

For residential roofs, generally yes. However, in rare circumstances we will come across an asbestos roof, and due to health and safety and legislation, we are unable to treat an asbestos roof and at that point we will refund any deposits or money paid.

How often should I clean my roof?

This depends on your physical location and proximity of things like overhanging trees. Typically a roof that has been cleaned and then treated with a biocide will only need to be looked after every two years - so it's a biennial clean. However, each roof is unique and therefore the answer depends on the specific circumstances.

Will cleaning prevent moss and algae from returning?

Yes. The initial part of the moss is removed with a scraper or a low-pressure wash and then the roof is treated with a commercial-grade biocide - this is a much stronger and more effective concentration of a very powerful chemical which isn't available in DIY stores. It will consequently remove and kill the roots of the moss that's embedded into the tile. It will also be resistant to the moss and algae returning.

How much does roof cleaning cost?

It depends on the size of the roof. Each roof is unique. We have to consider access and how much work is actually involved in it. However, we are very competitively priced.

Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?

Yes. Our customers are incredibly important to us. As such, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and we work very hard to ensure that you are happy with the outcome.
