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.

It's worth weighing against the alternative: leaving moss to keep growing generally means a bigger, more expensive clean later, plus a real chance of tile damage and blocked gutters in the meantime. A same-condition roof cleaned every few years is a far cheaper habit than one cleaned once every fifteen.

A softwashed roof looks like it's been re-tiled — moss gone, algae staining lifted, and none of the surface damage a pressure washer leaves behind. That's the result we're aiming for on every job, whether it's a single slope over a porch or a full three-bed semi in Gateshead.

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.

Scheduling around your location

Because Gateshead sits within easy reach of our Washington base, we can usually offer a reasonably prompt booking rather than a long wait for a slot. Weather affects roof cleaning more than most other exterior work, so we build a bit of flexibility into scheduling for wind or heavy rain.

Commercial and mixed-use roofs

Units around Team Valley Trading Estate and similar commercial premises often carry flatter roof pitches, larger surface areas, and sometimes a mix of tile, felt and flat-roof sections that each need a slightly different approach. Moss and algae buildup on commercial roofs tends to get noticed later than on a house, simply because fewer people are looking up at it day to day.

For commercial roofs we plan around business hours and access to loading areas or car parks, and can work to a maintenance schedule rather than a one-off clean where that suits the site better.

Homes & businesses

For retail and hospitality premises

A moss-streaked roof over a shopfront or pub isn't the impression most businesses want to give passing customers. We can schedule these jobs early morning or outside peak trading hours where that matters, and keep the site tidy while work's underway.
