Gentle, Ground-Level Roof Cleaning in Coxhoe
Professional roof cleaning near Coxhoe: moss removal, biocide treatment and gutter checks. Fully insured, careful methods that protect your tiles.
We clean roofs across Coxhoe and the wider County Durham area using softwash, steam and low-pressure methods — moss scraped off by hand where needed, biocide applied to kill what's left at the root, all done from ground level or access equipment rather than walking the tiles.
Everything is done from ground level or from access equipment — cherry picker or podium depending on the property — because walking a roof to clean it just isn't necessary with the right kit, and it's the single biggest cause of cracked and slipped tiles we get called out to fix elsewhere.
Our roof cleaning is softwash-based: a biocide treatment applied at low pressure that kills moss, lichen and algae without disturbing the tiles or forcing water up under the laps the way high-pressure jetting does. Where moss has built up thick, we scrape it off by hand first, then treat what's left.
Homeowners
For homeowners in Coxhoe
Most of our roof cleaning work is straightforward domestic jobs — a semi or terrace in Coxhoe 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.
What we do — and what we deliberately don't
We do clean from ground level or from access equipment such as a cherry picker or podium steps. We do use low-pressure softwash and biocide rather than high-pressure jetting. We do hand-scrape heavy moss before treating, and we do check gutters while we're up there.
We don't walk on tiles unless there's genuinely no other way to reach a section, and even then only with roof ladders and boards to spread the weight. We don't pressure-wash roofs with a wand at close range — it's fast, but it's also how good roofs get turned into leaking ones. And we don't apply biocide to a roof that hasn't been scraped clear of heavy moss first, because it won't reach the surface underneath.
Biocide treatment
- The core product on most jobs is a professional-grade biocide designed to kill moss, lichen and algae at the root rather than just stripping visible growth off the surface. Applied evenly across the whole roof at low pressure, it keeps working after we've left, which is what slows regrowth compared with a rinse-only clean.
