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.

Do you clear gutters as part of a roof clean?

We can, and it's often sensible to do both on the same visit since moss and grit dislodged during roof cleaning tends to end up in the gutters anyway. Ask us to quote both together when you book.

What if my roof might contain asbestos?

We're asbestos awareness trained, so we know how to identify older roofing materials that may be a concern and handle the job appropriately rather than cleaning straight over it. Flag the roof's age when booking if you're not sure.

Are you insured for roof work?

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

Can I see before-and-after photos of my roof?

Yes — we use a pole-mounted camera to document gutters and roof condition, so you get genuine before-and-after evidence rather than just a description of the work.

How do I get a quote?

Call Trevor on 07501 060609 or get in touch through the website. We'll usually want to see the roof, either in person or from photos, before giving a firm price.

Killingworth Roof Cleaning & Biocide Treatment

Trusted roof cleaning in Killingworth: biocide trained, asbestos aware, fully insured. Softwash methods that protect tiles rather than blast them.

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.

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 Killingworth.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal near Killingworth

Hand-scraping tools

For roofs with thick moss cushions we use hand tools designed to lift growth without gouging or cracking the tile beneath it. It's slower than blasting moss off with pressure, but it's the difference between a clean roof and a roof with a dozen new hairline cracks.

For landlords managing multiple properties

If you're managing several rental properties across Killingworth and the surrounding area, keeping roofs clean is as much about avoiding future repair costs and tenant complaints as it is appearance. We can quote across a portfolio and work to a schedule that suits your maintenance calendar rather than treating each property as a separate one-off.

Former colliery terraces and pantile roofs

The mining-era terraces scattered through this part of Tyne and Wear often carry clay pantiles rather than slate or flat concrete tile — a distinctive curved profile that traps moss in the overlaps between tiles in a way flatter roofs don't. 1960s new town built on former colliery land; concrete-built estates later remodelled with pitched roofs. is a common feature of these streets, and pantile roofs need particular care since the tiles can be older and more brittle than they look.

We work these roofs from access equipment, scraping moss out of the overlaps by hand rather than trying to blast it clear with pressure, then treating with biocide to stop it re-establishing in the same gaps next season.
