City of Sunderland · NE38 · 1.3 miles south of our Washington base

We clean roofs across NE38 and the surrounding postcodes using softwash, steam or low-pressure methods depending on the roof, always working from ground level or access equipment rather than walking the tiles. It's a slower way of working, but it's the one that doesn't crack a slate to save ten minutes.

Cleaning is possible for most of the year, but treating moss before it fully establishes for the next growing season makes the biocide work harder for you. A treatment now sits on the roof through the following autumn and winter rather than getting applied after the damage is already done.

Roof cleaning in Fatfield 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.

Do we cover your part of Fatfield?

Short answer: almost certainly. We work throughout Fatfield and the immediately surrounding streets, plus nearby Harraton and Rickleton. If you're unsure whether your specific address falls in our usual patch, a quick call to Trevor on 07501 060609 will confirm it.

Steam cleaning equipment

  • Where a chemical-free approach suits the job better, we bring a steam unit capable of lifting algae staining and moss residue using heat alone. It's a good option for smaller roof areas or where biocide isn't preferred near ponds, planting or a vegetable patch below.

What a finished roof clean actually looks like

A roof we've cleaned properly looks even in colour, with the green and black staining gone from valleys, ridges and north-facing slopes alike — not just the bits that were easy to reach. Slates and tiles are undamaged, gutters are clear of the moss and grit that would otherwise wash into them, and there's no residue of biocide left sitting visibly on the surface.

The other half of the result is what you don't see afterwards: no lifted tiles from someone walking the roof, no cracked slates from a pressure washer at close range, and a treatment working under the surface that slows regrowth for longer than a rinse-only clean ever would.

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.
