Clean Roof

A cleaner roof that looks better and lasts longer

Moss, lichen and algae removed safely and treated with a biocide, restoring your roof's appearance and extending its lifespan.

Overview

Clean Roof with GAC Roofline

Moss and lichen might look harmless, but on a roof they act like sponges. They hold moisture against tiles and slates, lift the edges of tiles so wind-driven rain can get underneath, and wash down into gutters where they cause blockages. In winter, trapped water freezes and expands, cracking tiles from the inside.

Our roof cleaning service removes moss and growth carefully using hand tools and low-pressure methods chosen to suit your roof covering. We avoid aggressive high-pressure jet washing, which can strip the protective surface of concrete tiles and force water under the laps.

Once the roof is clean we apply a professional biocide treatment that kills remaining spores and slows regrowth for years. We finish by clearing the gutters of everything that came off the roof, so you're left with a clean roof and a free-flowing drainage system.

FAQs

Clean Roof FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we're asked most often. Can't find what you're looking for? Just give us a call.

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

Not with the right method. We choose hand scraping, soft brushing and low-pressure rinsing based on your roof covering, and we never blast tiles with high-pressure jets.

How long will my roof stay clean?

With a biocide treatment most roofs stay clear of significant growth for several years, depending on how shaded the roof is and how close it is to trees.

Is the biocide safe for pets and plants?

We use professional products applied carefully to the roof only, and we protect planting below. We'll advise on keeping pets indoors while the treatment dries.

Can you repair tiles at the same time?

Yes. Any slipped or broken tiles found during cleaning can be replaced during the same visit, saving you a second call-out.
