Will the moss just come back?

Some regrowth over time is normal — biocide treatment slows it considerably compared with an untreated roof, but nothing stops moss returning eventually given the right conditions. Regular maintenance cleans keep it from building back up to the level it was at before.

Are you insured for roof work?

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

Do you clean flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?

We do, particularly on commercial and mixed-use premises. Method and pricing depend on the roof covering and size, so it's best assessed on survey.

Will cleaning shorten the life of my tiles?

Done properly with softwash and hand-scraping, no — if anything, removing moss that's holding moisture against the tile protects it. It's high-pressure jetting and rough scraping that risk shortening tile life, not a careful clean.

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.

Do you guarantee the work?

We stand behind the quality of our cleaning and treatment. Regrowth timing varies by roof and location, so while we can't promise a moss-free roof forever, we'll always talk you through what to expect for your specific roof.

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 Peterlee.

Softwashing does the opposite: low pressure, a biocide that kills moss and algae rather than just knocking it off, and hand-scraping for anything too thick to treat straight away. It takes longer than jet-washing but it's the method that actually protects the roof underneath the growth, which is the whole point.

Fitting access equipment to your street

Terraced streets, tight driveways and shared parking all affect what access equipment we can realistically use on the day, so we ask about parking and street width when booking rather than turning up and finding out. Most jobs work fine with a cherry picker or podium parked on-street; some need a bit more planning.

Victorian terraces and older slate roofs

Post-war new town estates built from 1948 under the New Towns Act 1946. means a fair few roofs around Peterlee are still on original or older-replacement slate, often with tighter, steeper pitches than modern housing. Slate handles moss differently to concrete tile — it doesn't hold growth in a rough surface the way concrete does, but individual slates can be brittle after a century of weathering, and any that are already cracked or slipped need identifying before we clean rather than after.

We survey older slate roofs closely before starting, work entirely from access equipment rather than walking the roof, and flag any tiles needing a roofer's attention separately — cleaning and repair are different jobs, and pretending otherwise on a roof this age is how small problems become big ones.

We'll survey the roof, tell you honestly whether it's a straightforward softwash or needs a fuller scrape first, and get it back to a condition you can maintain going forward.
