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.

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.

We clean roofs across SR6 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.

What affects the price — method by method

Softwash-only jobs on roofs with light algae staining and no significant moss are usually the most cost-effective, since there's no scraping time involved. Heavy moss scraping adds time and cost roughly in proportion to how much has to come off before biocide can reach the tile surface underneath.

Softwash only (light staining)
from around £250
Softwash plus moss scrape
typically £400–£650
Steam clean (smaller areas)
typically £200–£400

Standard softwash and biocide clean

  1. 1

    Ground-level survey

    We check moss coverage, tile condition and access before quoting, so the price reflects the roof rather than a guess.

  2. 2

    Protect surroundings

    Planting, patios and anything below the roofline gets covered or rinsed as needed before we start.

  3. 3

    Hand-scrape heavy moss

    Thick moss growth is removed by hand from ground level or access equipment, never scraped roughly against the tile.

  4. 4

    Apply biocide softwash

    A low-pressure biocide treatment is applied across the whole roof to kill remaining moss, lichen and algae at the root.

  5. 5

    Clear and check gutters

    Gutters are cleared of moss and grit dislodged during the clean as part of the same visit.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Fulwell — common questions

A roof cleaned before moss gets thick costs less and takes less time than one left until it's a full scrape job. Whether you're in Fulwell or nearby, getting it looked at now is generally the cheaper option.

Green roof, blocked gutters, or moss that's been building up for years — we clean it properly, treat it so it stays cleaner for longer, and never walk your tiles to do it.

Softwash, steam or low-pressure — whichever suits your roof type, moss coverage and access best. We assess before we clean rather than running the same process on every job in Fulwell.
