Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal across London
Shaded, north-facing slopes, trees and low-pitched roofs gather moss quickly. Moss lifts tiles, traps water and loosens the edges of slates, and when it falls it blocks gutters and downpipes.
We clean roofs carefully. High-pressure washing can strip the surface from concrete tiles and drive water beneath them, so we favour soft washing and hand removal, followed by treatment to slow regrowth.
Signs your roof needs cleaning
- Green or black patches spreading across the slope
- Moss growing at tile edges, valleys and gutters
- Algae streaking below the ridge
- Gutters full of moss and granules
- A roof that looks dull and stained compared with its neighbours

How we clean roofs
We remove moss by hand and with brushes, then apply a biocide treatment that kills moss, algae and lichen and helps stop it returning. Where appropriate, we use low-pressure soft washing. We clean out gutters and valleys and check for loose or damaged tiles at the same time.
After cleaning we may recommend small repairs, re-pointing of ridges or a protective sealant on some surfaces. We never use methods that could damage your roof or invalidate any warranty.

Roof leaking now?
We offer emergency call-outs across all London boroughs. Call us and we will tell you what to do straight away and how soon we can attend.
How often should I do it?
Treatment normally gives a clean roof for several years, depending on shade and trees. Annual gutter clearance helps. If the roof also has damaged tiles, see tiled roofs and guttering.
What affects the cost?
Cleaning costs depend on roof size, pitch, access and how heavy the growth is. We quote after a free assessment.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal FAQs
Is moss bad for my roof?
Yes, in time. It holds water, can lift tiles and blocks gutters. A thin layer is not urgent but should be monitored.
Do you use pressure washers?
We avoid high pressure on tiles and slates because it can damage them. We use soft washing and hand removal.
How long before moss returns?
Treatment typically keeps roofs clean for several years, depending on shade and moisture.
Will you clear my gutters at the same time?
Yes. It makes sense to clear gutters and downpipes after moss removal.
