Roof Wash
Professional Roof Washing Services
Roof washing is a gentle, low-pressure cleaning method designed to safely refresh and protect certain roof types. Unlike high-pressure cleaning, this method reduces the risk of damage while removing moss, algae, and organic debris, helping to prolong the life of your roof. ⚠️ Important: Roof washing is not suitable for all roof types — an inspection is required to confirm if your roof can be safely treated.
How Roof Scraping Works
Our roof washing process involves:
Inspection: Assessing the roof's condition and identifying areas requiring attention, at the quotation stage.
Preparation: Setting up equipment, safety measures and protecting surrounding areas.
Access Methods: We aim to use tower scaffolds as frequently as possible to avoid haveing personel on roofs!
Washing: Utilizing our air-assisted scraper to remove moss and debris.
Tidy Up: Gutters are cleared, waste removed, fascias soffits, gutters and windows are cleaned.
Biocide: We then apply a biocide to help kill any remaining organisms and protect the roof for years to come!
Finishing: Conducting a final inspection to ensure thorough cleaning.

Roof Washing FAQ's
Is roof washing safe for all roofs?
No — only roofs that can withstand low-pressure cleaning are suitable. An inspection is always required. Heavily mossed, older or fragile roofs may need roof scraping instead.
How long does a roof washing treatment take?
Most residential roofs can be cleaned within a day, depending on size and growth levels.
Will roof washing prevent moss and algae from returning?
We always include a biocide treatment that slows regrowth, keeping roofs cleaner for longer!
How often should I have roof washing done?
Typically every 2–3 years, though moss-prone or shaded roofs may require more frequent cleaning.
The biocide can help extend this time frame even further!
Can roof washing be done in wet or cold conditions?
Although it can be done in some wet conditions, It’s best performed in dry, moderate weather for optimal results and safety.
Biocide can only be applied in certain conditions which will be discussed at the quotation stage.
