WHY DO I NEED TO GET MY ROOF CLEANED?
A roof covered in moss, algae and grime can deteriorate over time and result in expensive repairs.
Moss can lift and displace tiles, shed into gutters and downpipes, and leaves tired green-and-black staining across roofs.
Moss also gets five times heavier when wet and provides a breeding ground for other biofilms that also have a bio-corrosive effect on the tiles, such as red, green and black algae and also eroding lichens. Moss and liverworts put down long roots that can displace tiles and even damage or crack others.
A professional clean not only restores the look of your home but tackles the growth at the root so it takes far longer to return.

Our roof cleaning methods
There’s no single right way to clean every roof, the best method depends on your tile type, the roof’s pitch and how heavy the moss or algae growth is. During your free survey we’ll recommend the safest, most effective option for your property.
Soft Washing
Best for algae, lichen and light-to-moderate moss; most tile and slate roofs.
A low-pressure application of specialist biocide that kills organic growth at the root and keeps roofs cleaner for longer — no forceful jetting near your tiles.
Manual Scrape & Biocide
Best for roofs with heavy, established moss build-up.
Moss is carefully removed first, then a biocide treatment is applied which kills the biofilms at the cell wall level by piercing through them, penetrating the organism, and killing it all the way down to the root system.
A note on pressure washing: we don’t recommend high-pressure jet washing for roofs. It can crack tiles, strip protective coatings and force water beneath the tiles, causing far more expensive problems than the moss itself. Our low-pressure methods protect your roof while getting excellent results.

FREE DRONE INSPECTIONS WITH EVERY CLEAN
We want our customers to see the difference before and after the clean, so we include a drone survey free of charge.
It is gives you the opportunity to check your roof for any other signs of wear or damage that you wouldn't be able to see from the ground.
If we spot any damage whilst we are cleaning your roof, we will go back to it with our drone so you can see it yourself.
A note on drones - some areas in Somerset are subject to a no-fly zone. So if you are in those areas we may not be able to provide this service.

FAQs
1 / How much does roof cleaning cost in Crewkerne?
It depends on the size, pitch and access of your roof, the tile type and how much moss or algae has built up. Because every roof is different, we provide a fixed, no-obligation quote after a free survey so you know the exact price before any work starts.
2 / Is roof cleaning actually worth it?
Yes. Beyond dramatically improving your home’s appearance, removing moss and algae stops moisture being trapped against your tiles, keeps gutters clear, and helps protect and extend the life of your roof, often avoiding far more expensive repairs later.
3 / Will cleaning damage my roof tiles?
Not with our methods. We use low-pressure soft washing or careful manual removal, not high-pressure jet washing, which can crack tiles and force water beneath them. We choose the safest method for your specific roof.
4 / How do you remove moss from a roof?
For heavier growth we carefully scrape the moss off by hand, then apply a biocide treatment that kills remaining spores and slows regrowth. For algae and lighter moss, soft washing with a specialist treatment does the job without any scraping.
5 / How long does a roof clean last?
With a biocide treatment applied, roofs typically stay noticeably cleaner for several years, though it varies with how shaded and damp the roof is. Roofs surrounded by trees or facing north may benefit from more regular maintenance.
6 / Do you clean the gutters as well?
Yes, clearing moss and debris from gutters and valleys is included as part of our roof cleaning service, so rainwater can flow away properly once we’re finished.
7 / Is soft washing safe for all roof types?
Soft washing is safe for the vast majority of tile and slate roofs. We’ll always assess your roof first and use the most appropriate method.
8 / How do I get a quote?
