Roof Cleaning: What You Should Know
Here are some roof cleaning facts you may find interesting.
1
The buildup of dirt, moss, and algae can reduce the lifespan of your roof by up to 30%. Regular cleaning helps protect tiles and delay costly repairs.
2
Algae, mold, and moss growth on a roof can also create a slipping hazard, increasing the risk of accidents or injuries. Removing these substances can help make the roof safer to walk on.
3
Certain types of algae, such as Gloeocapsa magma, can actually feed on the minerals in asphalt shingles, causing them to deteriorate faster. Cleaning can remove these, protecting the shingles.
4
Some types of roofs, such as metal roofs, can be cleaned using a chemical process called “electrolysis,” which uses an electric current to loosen and remove dirt and stains.
5
Pressure washing is a common method for cleaning roofs, but it can be too harsh for some types of roofs, such as those made of clay tiles or slate. In these cases, a gentler method such as soft washing or manual scrubbing is used.
6
Roof cleaning can improve the efficiency of a building by removing dirt and debris that can block or clog gutters and downspouts, causing water to pool on the roof, and potentially damaging the structure.
Benefits Of A Clean, Moss Free Roof
A clean roof doesn’t just look better, it works better. Removing moss, algae and staining boosts kerb appeal, protects your investment, and shows you care about your home.
Clean roofs reflect more sunlight and retain less moisture, reducing heat loss and improving overall energy efficiency. It’s a small job that delivers long-term results.
Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want your home to look its best, a freshly cleaned roof adds instant wow factor and keeps problems at bay.
1
Extend Your Roof's Lifespan
The buildup of dirt, moss, and algae can reduce the lifespan of your roof by up to 30%. Regular cleaning helps protect tiles and delay costly repairs.
2
Prevent Slips And Safety Risks
Algae and moss increase slip risk on walkable roof areas or when working at height. Keeping your roof clear improves safety and reduces liability.
3
Protect Your Tiles & Materials
Some algae (like Gloeocapsa magma) feed on roofing materials, accelerating damage. A professional clean removes harmful growth and protects the structure.
4
Compatible With All Roof Types
We tailor our cleaning method to your roof. From tiles and slates to metal or flat systems, using soft washing, manual removal, or electric moss treatment.
5
No Water Pooling & Drain Blockage
Moss and debris can block gutters, slow drainage, and cause pooling. This leads to internal damp or structural decay if left untreated.
6
Non-Destructive Cleaning Is Safer
Pressure washing can cause more harm than good. That’s why we use safe, chemical-free soft washing techniques to clean without damaging your roof.
Our Roof Cleaning Method: Safe, Gentle & Effective
We use a proven soft-wash roof cleaning system to safely remove moss, algae and lichen without damaging your tiles or causing runoff issues. Our method combines biodegradable chemical treament with low-pressure water-fed pole systems and manual removal tools when needed.
This approach is ideal for tiled, slate, and modern flat roofing, keeping your roof looking clean while extending its life. We inspect your roof before every job to choose the most appropriate method.
No pressure washing. No shortcuts. Just safe, long-lasting results.
