What does roof cleaning involve?

It's not always easy to see what's going on up on the roof — here's what you can expect from a roof cleaning service:

Step 1: Roof inspection

First, your roof is assessed to identify materials, condition, and the most suitable cleaning methods.

Step 2: Cleaning method selection

Depending on your roof, this may include soft washing, steam cleaning, or manual moss removal.

Step 3: Moss and debris removal

Moss, algae, and dirt are removed safely without damaging tiles or fixings.

Step 4: Optional treatment

A biocide or protective treatment may be applied to slow regrowth.

How much does roof cleaning cost?

The cost of roof cleaning will depend on several factors including the size of the roof and its pitch, accessibility, and the cleaning method selected. As a guide:

• Hand-removal of moss plus a biocide treatment normally ranges from £747.50 for a small roof, up to £977.50 for a large roof

• Pressure washing alone costs around £553 for a small roof, up to around £722.50 for a larger roof

It's quite typical to receive a quote based on square metres, and some firms will also charge for scaffolding.

It's therefore best to get itemised quotes from several roof cleaning services in your area to compare prices and services like-for-like.

FAQs about roof cleaning

How often should a roof be cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from cleaning every two to three years, depending on weather conditions and moss growth.

Is roof cleaning worth it?

Cleaning can extend your roof's lifespan, improve drainage, and reduce the risk of damage caused by trapped moisture.

Can roof cleaning cause leaks?

Incorrect methods, such as high-pressure washing, can damage roof tiles. Hiring a checked roof cleaning company that uses the right technique for your roof type reduces this risk.

Is pressure washing safe for roofs?

Pressure washing isn’t suitable for all roofs and may damage older or fragile tiles.

When is the best time to clean a roof?

Spring is often the ideal time to clean a roof, as drier conditions help treatments work effectively and reduce regrowth.
