For homes in Washington we look at coverage, tile type and how shaded the roof is before recommending anything. Sometimes a softwash and biocide treatment is enough to head off years of slow damage; sometimes a full moss scrape is genuinely needed first. Either way, the goal is the same — get the roof clean and keep it that way.

We clean roofs across Washington 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.

Covering the wider area around Washington

Beyond the immediate area, we regularly work out to Felling, Silksworth, Houghton-le-Spring and Boldon, generally within a 4–10 mile radius of Washington. Distance rarely changes the price much within that range — it's roof size and moss condition that drive the quote, not the drive over.

Homes & businesses

For managing agents and facilities teams

For sites like Armstrong Industrial Estate we can provide before-and-after photos as part of the job, useful for maintenance records or reporting back to a client or freeholder. We're fully insured and happy to provide documentation ahead of works where a site requires it.

1960s–70s estate roofs

A lot of Washington's housing stock from this period sits on interlocking concrete tiles, which age well structurally but have a rougher surface texture than slate — exactly the kind of surface moss anchors into and keeps growing on year after year if it's never been treated.

These roofs generally respond well to a straightforward scrape-and-biocide clean, and because the tile profile is consistent and well understood, we can usually give a firm price on survey rather than a range. It's often the most cost-effective roof type to bring back from a heavy moss covering.

Steam cleaning equipment

  • Where a chemical-free approach suits the job better, we bring a steam unit capable of lifting algae staining and moss residue using heat alone. It's a good option for smaller roof areas or where biocide isn't preferred near ponds, planting or a vegetable patch below.

Access via A1(M)

Washington is reachable via A1(M), which keeps travel time predictable for scheduling and means we can bring the cherry picker or podium equipment without route restrictions being an issue. Good road access also matters for larger jobs needing more than a van's worth of kit.
