Is the biocide treatment safe for pets, plants and drains?

We're trained in spill management and apply biocide carefully to avoid run-off into planting, ponds or drains. If you have particular concerns about a specific area of the garden, mention it when you book and we'll plan around it.

How often should a roof be cleaned?

Every two to four years is a reasonable guide for most roofs, though shaded, tree-lined or coastal properties may need it more often. We can give a more specific recommendation once we've seen the roof.

Can I clean the roof myself?

It's possible for very minor work, but roof cleaning carries real fall risk and the wrong products or pressure can damage tiles. Given the height and access involved, most people are better off having it done professionally.

How long does a roof clean take?

A standard softwash clean on an average semi usually takes half a day. Heavier moss scraping or larger roofs can take a full day or more — we'll give you a realistic estimate at survey stage.

Are you insured for roof work?

Yes, we're fully insured for the roof cleaning work we carry out, including work from access equipment.

We clean roofs across Gosforth and the wider Tyne and Wear 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.

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.

Getting a roof ready before a sale

A moss-covered roof is one of the first things a buyer or their surveyor notices, and it can raise questions about condition that a clean roof simply doesn't invite. If you're preparing to put a property in Gosforth on the market, a softwash and moss scrape ahead of viewings is a relatively small cost against what a tired-looking roof can do to first impressions.

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
Commercial/larger flat roof	quoted on survey
