Roof Cleaning Nottingham
Roof Cleaning Nottingham
If moss is gathering on your roof, the tiles are looking untidy, and you're worried that your guttering is going to overflow with debris, you might want to consider having your roof cleaned. Roof cleaning removes all biological growth from a roof such as algae, mould, mildew, lichens & moss. If your roof is heavily soiled, you might even find grass, small weeds and plants growing.
Why we recommend removing moss and roof cleaning
Biological growth such as moss on your roof needs water and nutrients to survive. This is where the deterioration of your roof begins!
As the moss and algae on your roof need food to survive, can you imagine what their favourite food will be? Your roof tiles, the cement pointing along the valleys, and the ridge tiles!
Moss roots itself in damp shaded areas so it will grow under roof tiles, lifting them up as the moss grows larger, allowing water to penetrate your home.
A large build-up of moss and biofilm (a slimey substance) makes your home not only look unsightly but also continuously fill your guttering and cause it to block.
Removing the moss from your roof tiles leaves your gutters free from blockage, so they can work efficiently without causing damp within your home.
As the moss begins to grow and is unable to cling onto your roof, the wind and rain cause it to fall and spread across the ground below. This then increases the growth of slippery algae around your home.
What roof cleaning services do we offer?
Roof moss removal and biocide roof treatment
This includes removal of moss from your roof with our specialist scraper, followed by a biocide treatment to gently self-clean the roof over the coming months. Along with the roof cleaning, the treatment then keeps your roof cleaner and moss free for approx. three to five years.
Roof moss removal, roof steam clean and biocide roof treatment
This is our Gold service, to restore your roof back to new!
Your roof is firstly cleared of all moss, algae and lichen. We use a steam cleaner to get deep under the dirt and grime. And then a specialist biocide treatment is applied to keep your roof moss free for approx. three to five years.
Roof cleaning and repairs
A large portion of the cost of roof repairs is access to the roof.
Whilst we are roof cleaning, we will already be using the necessary safety and access equipment. So, we can carry out minor repairs, at a much reduced rate, at the same time.
Broken tiles? We can take care of this for you. Just add it in to your quote request.
Aerial removal
If you have unused aerials, we can remove these whilst we are roof cleaning.
This will stop unwanted pigeon droppings, which in turn increase the growth of algae and moss.
So, not only are you getting your roof in tip top condition now, but by removing unused aerials, it will keep it cleaner for much longer.
How do we remove the moss from your roof?
We have a mobile scaffolding unit which allows us to access the roof safely, we don't use the static scaffolding that can be left for weeks. Our mobile scaffolding unit is small and compact and makes a great tool for the access of roof cleaning.
We use a specialist roof cleaning blade that fits the profile of your roof tiles, so we can safely and gently bring all the moss down your roof to gutter level.
We also have a hot water roof cleaning unit built into our vans. This allows us to use water at a high temperature to break down the moss, algae and lichens and gently wash it from your roof.
When the roof cleaning is complete, we clear your guttering of all moss and debris.
We also clean and clear all surrounding areas of any moss or mess gathered during the cleaning process, leaving you with cleaner surfaces than when we arrived!
How do we clean your roof?
Once we have finished removing the moss, we can then clean or treat your roof using a specialist petrol driven low pressure chemical pump.
This means we can apply a cleaning product onto your roof which will kill all biofilm, allowing us to clean your roof safely without the use of a pressure washer.
This is our Soft wash method, which is the safest way to clean your roof without causing any damage.
We do not recommend pressure washing for roof cleaning as it is rarely recommended by tile manufacturers.
How much does roof moss removal & roof cleaning cost?
We are often asked how much it costs to clean a roof in Nottingham. It's not a straightforward answer, as there is no 'one size fits all' with roof cleaning.
The cost depends on how easy it is to access your roof, and the amount of moss to be cleared.
This is why we always prefer to carry out a home survey. This also gives us the opportunity to explain the cleaning process and the benefits of the different roof cleaning methods.
We can sometimes supply a price quickly for roof cleaning just using photographs of your property, or by viewing online.
Here is a guide:
Roof moss removal and biocide treatment or roof steam cleaning and biocide treatment
Bungalows FROM £480
2/3 bedroom property FROM £750
3/4 bedroom property FROM £900
4+ bedroom property FROM £1100
These are all starting prices (although in some cases we can simply treat your roof without the need to clean or remove moss and this can also reduce the cost of your roof cleaning services in Nottingham).
A straight up and over roof with clear access and a flat roof tile would be much less than a roof with dormers and uneven ground below with a heavy amount of moss on a profiled tile.
Some of the less experienced roof cleaning companies charge on the size of your roof and do not consider the amount of moss on your roof, the access or the type of tile which can be more prone to moss growth. We will often be able to offer much better value roof cleaning especially on larger roofs where the meterage will add up to a costly roof clean.
How long does the treatment last?
Our customers often ask, 'how long will my roof stay clean?'
Again, not as straightforward as you may think. It's impossible for us to say it will stay clean for a certain time as there is many factors involved, such as the amount of growth in surrounding areas which pollinates the roof increasing the regrowth of biofilm on your roof.
As a general rule, if you are surrounded by trees and sheltered, we advise having your roof treated every 3 years. If you are more in the open in a residential area, then treating the roof every 5 years is more than adequate to keep your roof permanently clean.
After 3-5 years it is advisable for your roof to be treated with a professional biocide.

Roof cleaners in Nottingham
We have been cleaning hundreds of roofs across Nottingham over the past 7 years and one thing we are told about is other roof cleaning companies are trying to claim our work as there own when door knocking the areas we have worked in. Unfortunately some elderly have fell victim to rogue roof cleaners. We are an established roof cleaning company and although we are not offering roof cleaning for a few hundred pounds we do guarantee all our work and never take any payment upfront.
Another point we hear of regular is when the roof cleaning debris are sprayed onto neighbouring properties and not cleaned up, this is a result of poor work methods and lack of experience. We know first hand that this can be avoided and in the rare cases where any debris can go to a neighbour we treat their property like our own and clean up 100% of any moss or debris.
Once we remove the moss from your Roof we will always treat your roof, without this treatment the moss and algae will return within 6-12months. Many of our roof cleaning competitors are not treating roofs and this is why you can see regrowth of moss and algae within the first year, we are achieving a moss free roof for 3-5 years, which in turn offers much better value.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy, meaning we take no payment until all work is completed and you are 100% satisfied.
