Roof Cleaning
Moss and algae removal to protect your tiles, improve appearance, and prevent long-term damage.
Roof Cleaning
Moss, algae, and lichen might seem like a cosmetic issue, but left untreated they hold moisture against your tiles, accelerate wear, block gutters with debris, and can work their way under tiles and flashing, creating a route for water ingress. A professionally cleaned roof isn't just better looking, it lasts longer.
Our roof cleaning service safely removes built-up moss, algae, and general debris from your roof covering and gutters, using methods appropriate to your specific roof type so we don't damage tiles, slates, or coatings in the process. Where appropriate, we can also apply a biocide treatment to slow the regrowth of moss and algae, extending the time between cleans.
This service works particularly well alongside a roof inspection, since cleaning often reveals the true condition of tiles, pointing, and flashing that were previously hidden under years of growth.

Common Questions About Our Services
A few things homeowners often ask us before booking a job. Still not sure? Just give us a call.
It usually comes down to the age and overall condition of the roof, not just the single issue you've noticed. If problems are isolated and the roof structure and covering are otherwise sound, a repair is normally the right call. If your roof is older, repairs are becoming frequent, or damage is widespread, a re-roof is often more cost-effective long term. We'll always give you an honest recommendation, not just the more expensive option.
We work with the full range of common roofing materials found across Yorkshire, including natural slate, concrete and clay tiles, interlocking tiles, felt and torch-on flat roofing systems, single-ply membranes, and lead flashing. We'll advise on the best material for your property, budget, and the style of surrounding buildings.
For most roofing work, no, since the work takes place outside on the roof itself. We just ask for reasonable access to your property and garden where needed for scaffolding or equipment. We'll always confirm exactly what's required before the job starts.
A straightforward repair might take a few hours to a day. Gutter and fascia work is often completed within a day or two. A full re-roof on an average semi-detached home typically takes one to two weeks, depending on size, weather, and the scope of work involved. We'll give you a clear timeframe as part of your quote.
Yes, always. Full site clean-up and responsible disposal of all waste materials, old tiles, felt, timber, and general debris, is included as standard in every job we carry out, no matter the size.
Yes. Every roofer on our team is fully qualified and experienced, and we carry full public liability insurance on all jobs, large or small. We're happy to provide proof of insurance and qualifications on request before any work begins, so you can hire with confidence.
Every job we complete, from a small repair to a full re-roof, comes with a written guarantee. If anything isn't right, you get in touch and we'll come back and put it right at no extra cost, for the full length of the guarantee period.
