We assess the roof before quoting rather than pricing blind, because a flat estimate for slate versus interlocking concrete tile versus clay pantile rarely reflects what the job actually needs. Method and price both follow from what's up there.
Does a mossy roof actually need cleaning, or is it just cosmetic? It's a fair question, and the honest answer is: it depends how far it's gone. A light dusting of algae is mostly appearance. Thick moss cushions holding water against tiles for weeks on end is a different problem entirely.
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.
Exposed roofs on higher ground
Properties on higher or more exposed ground catch more wind-driven rain and generally see more temperature swings than sheltered streets lower down, which can mean faster weathering on ridge tiles and pointing as well as more moss on north- and west-facing slopes that stay damp longest.
Access is usually the bigger practical issue on exposed sites — wind affects what access equipment we can safely use on a given day, so these jobs sometimes need a bit more flexibility on scheduling than a sheltered terrace would.

Straight quotes
Priced after a proper survey, not guessed over the phone.
Pole-mounted camera
- We use a pole-mounted camera to check gutter condition and confirm the roof's been cleaned thoroughly, without anyone needing to climb up for a look. It also gives you genuine before-and-after evidence of the work rather than a description of it.
Steam-clean approach
- 1
Survey and method check
We confirm steam is suitable for the roof type and staining before starting — it's not the right choice for every job.
- 2
Steam application
High-temperature steam lifts moss residue, algae and ingrained staining without pressure-washing or biocide chemicals.
- 3
Rinse and inspect
The roof is rinsed at low pressure and checked over for any missed patches, particularly in valleys and under overhangs.
- 4
Aftercare notes
We'll let you know if a follow-up biocide treatment would extend the result, since steam alone doesn't leave residual protection.
