Why Have Your Roof Cleaned?
Stops Gutters Blocking
Moss and debris that washes down from the roof is one of the main causes of blocked gutters and downpipes.
Helps Tiles Last Longer
Moss holds moisture against the tile surface, which can make tiles more vulnerable to cracking in cold weather.
Improves Appearance
A roof free of heavy moss and algae staining looks noticeably tidier from the street and from neighbouring properties.
Spot Problems Early
Cleaning the roof gives us a good look at the tiles, ridge and flashings, so we can flag up any repairs that might be needed.
Useful Before A Sale
A clean, moss-free roof can help if you're putting your property on the market and want it to look its best.
Treatment Available
We can apply a biocide treatment after cleaning to help slow down moss and algae returning.
North-facing roofs and roofs near mature trees are the ones we're most often asked to clean in Dudley - moss tends to build up fastest where the roof stays damp and shaded for long periods.

Our Roof Cleaning Process
Roof Inspection
We check the roof for moss, algae and any tiles that need attention before cleaning.
Moss & Debris Removal
Moss, lichen and loose debris are carefully cleared from the roof surface.
Gutter Clear-Out
Gutters are cleared of any moss and debris that's washed down during cleaning.
Optional Treatment
A biocide treatment can be applied to help slow down regrowth, if you'd like this included.
A Good Time To Check Your Gutters Too
While we're up on the roof clearing moss, it's a good opportunity to clear out the gutters as well - moss and debris from the roof is one of the most common causes of blocked downpipes. If we spot anything else while we're up there, like a loose ridge tile or a damaged flashing, we'll let you know.

Does moss damage a roof?
Left unchecked, moss can hold moisture against the tiles, which over time can lead to tiles cracking in frosty weather, and clumps of moss can wash into gutters and block downpipes. Clearing it off helps the roof shed water properly and keeps gutters running clear.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
It depends on the roof's aspect and how shaded it is - north-facing roofs and those under overhanging trees tend to gather moss and algae faster. As a rough guide, every few years is usually enough for most roofs, but we can advise after taking a look at yours.
Will cleaning my roof damage the tiles?
Aggressive pressure washing can damage tile surfaces and dislodge them, which is why we use careful methods suited to the roof type, removing moss and debris by hand or with appropriate low-pressure techniques rather than blasting the roof with a jet washer.
Can you treat the roof to stop moss coming back?
Yes, we can apply biocide treatments after cleaning to help slow down moss and algae regrowth, though some regrowth over time is normal, particularly on shaded roofs.
