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.
Roof type changes the job more than almost anything else. Older slate roofs common around Byker need a gentler touch and closer attention to any already-slipped or cracked slates before we start; concrete tile roofs on newer estates tend to hold moss in a rougher surface texture and often need a scrape before treatment does much good.
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.

If you're in one of the streets or neighbourhoods bordering Byker — Heaton, Walker, Gateshead and Jesmond — you're within the same working patch we cover from Byker itself, usually on the same day as nearby bookings.
Hand-scraping tools
- For roofs with thick moss cushions we use hand tools designed to lift growth without gouging or cracking the tile beneath it. It's slower than blasting moss off with pressure, but it's the difference between a clean roof and a roof with a dozen new hairline cracks.

Homeowners
For homeowners in Byker
Most of our roof cleaning work is straightforward domestic jobs — a semi or terrace in Byker that's gone green over a few winters and just needs bringing back. We survey first, quote clearly, and work from ground level or access equipment so there's no need for anyone to be up on the roof, including us more than briefly.
Victorian terraces and older slate roofs
Includes the Byker Wall estate, Grade II* listed and on UNESCO's list of outstanding 20th-century buildings. means a fair few roofs around Byker are still on original or older-replacement slate, often with tighter, steeper pitches than modern housing. Slate handles moss differently to concrete tile — it doesn't hold growth in a rough surface the way concrete does, but individual slates can be brittle after a century of weathering, and any that are already cracked or slipped need identifying before we clean rather than after.
We survey older slate roofs closely before starting, work entirely from access equipment rather than walking the roof, and flag any tiles needing a roofer's attention separately — cleaning and repair are different jobs, and pretending otherwise on a roof this age is how small problems become big ones.
