About This Service
A moss-covered roof isn't just an eyesore; it can lead to blocked gutters, water damage, and cracked tiles. Our roof cleaning service in Teesside uses safe, effective methods to remove moss, algae, and lichen. We prioritize the structural integrity of your roof, often using manual scraping and soft wash chemical treatments rather than high-pressure blasting, which can damage tiles and flood your loft.
Key Benefits
Our Process
Safety Setup
We erect scaffold towers or use safety harnesses to access your roof safely, protecting both our team and your property.
Moss Removal
We manually scrape the bulk of the moss from the tiles using profile-matched scrapers to avoid damaging the surface.
Soft Wash Treatment
We apply a biocide treatment that kills any remaining spores, algae, and lichen, preventing rapid regrowth.
Gutter Clearance
Once the roof is clean, we fully clear out your gutters and downpipes to ensure all debris is removed and water flows freely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use high pressure on roofs?
Generally, no. High pressure can damage tiles and force water into the roof space. We prefer manual scraping followed by a soft wash treatment, which is safer and more effective long-term.
How long will the roof stay clean?
This depends on your local environment (e.g., nearby trees), but our biocide treatment typically keeps moss and algae at bay for 3-5 years.
Is the process messy?
Moss removal does generate debris, but we cover the ground with tarpaulins and disconnect downpipes to prevent blockages. We perform a full cleanup of the perimeter before leaving.
Will you break any tiles?
We are extremely careful, but if any tiles are already brittle or damaged, they may break. We carry spare tiles and will replace any that are damaged during the process.
