There's a common idea that the only way to clean a roof properly is to get up there with a pressure washer and blast it. In practice that's usually the worst thing you can do — high-pressure water forces its way under tiles and slates, strips the protective weathering off the surface, and can turn a cosmetic moss problem into a leak within a season or two.

Roof cleaning in Brandon typically runs from around £250 for a small softwash job up to £600 or more for a larger roof with heavy moss needing a full scrape and biocide treatment. Exact cost depends on roof size, pitch, access and how much moss has to come off before treatment.

The finish holds too. Because biocide treatment kills spores at root level rather than just blasting the visible growth off, regrowth is slower and the roof stays presentable for a lot longer than a rushed jet-wash job ever manages.

Tree-lined and shaded roofs

Overhanging trees are one of the biggest single factors in how fast a roof grows moss. Shade keeps a roof damp for longer after rain, falling leaves and debris build up in valleys and gutters, and organic matter breaking down on the tile surface effectively feeds the moss sitting on it.

On roofs like this we pay particular attention to valleys and any section under direct overhang, since that's almost always where regrowth starts first. Where it's practical we'll also flag a gutter clear as worth doing at the same time, since blocked gutters under trees are their own slow problem.

Low-pressure clean with gutter check

  1. 1

    Combined-visit survey

    We look at both the roof and the guttering together, since one visit covering both is usually more cost-effective than two.

  2. 2

    Low-pressure wash

    Loose debris and light moss or algae are washed off at low pressure, gentle enough not to disturb tile fixings.

  3. 3

    Targeted biocide

    Biocide is applied to areas with active moss or algae growth rather than blanket-treating a roof that doesn't need it.

  4. 4

    Gutter clearance

    Gutters are cleared and checked for flow, often using our pole-mounted camera to confirm they're running clean.

  5. 5

    Photo record

    Before-and-after photos are provided so you can see the difference without needing to get up a ladder yourself.

Why cleaning now is usually cheaper than waiting

A roof cleaned regularly stays cheaper to maintain than one left until moss has built up thick enough to need a full scrape. Beyond the clean itself, moss left untreated risks lifted tiles, blocked gutters and, eventually, repair costs well beyond what a periodic clean would have cost — worth factoring in alongside the up-front price.

Maintenance clean (every 2–3 years)typically £250–£400
Overdue clean, heavy mosstypically £500–£800+
Gutter clear if left blocked too longtypically £60–£150
