What weather do you need for roof cleaning?

Dry, calm conditions are best, particularly for access equipment work, which we avoid in high winds for safety reasons. Light rain doesn't always stop a job but heavy or persistent rain usually means rescheduling.

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.

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.

Left alone it doesn't stop at looking untidy. Trapped moisture works into laps and nail fixings, slates start to slip, and gutters fill with the grit that washes off as it rains. A proper clean and biocide treatment stops that cycle before it turns into a repair bill.

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.

Roof cleaning cost by rough property size

As a general guide, cost tends to scale with roof area rather than house size on paper — a bungalow with a large roof footprint can cost more to clean than a narrow-fronted terrace with a tall roofline. Access matters too: a roof reachable from a driveway is usually cheaper to clean than one needing scaffolding-style access equipment on all sides.

Small roof, light softwash

typically £250–£350

Terraced house

typically £250–£400

Bungalow (larger roof area)

typically £400–£650

Heavy moss/difficult access surcharge

typically +£50–£150

Part of our regular working area

Peterlee falls well within the roughly 45-mile radius we work across from Washington, so it's a regular part of our coverage rather than an edge-case trip. That familiarity with the area — road layout, typical housing stock, local weather patterns — generally means a smoother job on the day.

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.

Modern estate roofs

Newer developments around Peterlee tend to have consistent roof lines, uniform concrete or clay tile, and easier access than older terraced streets — which generally makes for a quicker, more straightforward clean. Post-war new town estates built from 1948 under the New Towns Act 1946. on estates like this often means roofs that are still in good structural condition but have simply never been cleaned since the house was built.

The main thing we watch for on newer estates is close-together roofs and shared driveways limiting access equipment, so we plan the visit around parking and neighbouring properties rather than assuming a clear run at the roof.
