The Benefits of Professional Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal

Over time, roofs across London and the Home Counties collect moss, algae, lichen, and debris — especially in shaded, damp areas. Many homeowners ask, “Is moss really a problem?” The answer is yes — and here’s why.

Moss retains moisture, which can crack tiles, damage mortar joints, and eventually lead to internal damp or roof leaks. Left untreated, it can shorten the life of your roof by years. Many roofing professionals recommend periodic cleaning every few years to prevent moss buildup and preserve the condition of your roof — especially in damp or shaded areas.

Our professional roof cleaning and moss removal services are designed to prevent this damage early. We offer both steam cleaning, including the DOFF system, and soft washing, choosing the safest and most effective method for your specific roof type.

Regular cleaning reduces long-term maintenance costs, protects your property's value, and improves energy efficiency by removing heat-trapping buildup. Whether you live in Surrey, Essex, or central London, professional roof maintenance is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve your home — and avoid expensive repairs later.

We work on all property types — from residential homes and buy-to-let properties to small commercial buildings — and always tailor our approach to suit your roof’s material, age, and condition.

Restore the Natural Colour of Your Roof Tiles — Make Your Home Look New Again

It’s not just about protection — roof cleaning also transforms the appearance of your property.

Over the years, moss, algae, lichen, and air pollution can completely hide the original colour of your tiles. Many roofs that look dark, dirty, or neglected are actually covered in organic growth that can be safely removed to reveal the clean, vibrant surface underneath.

Using either gentle steam cleaning with a DOFF system or a carefully applied soft wash solution, we can restore faded roof tiles and bring back their natural tones — whether that’s red clay, grey slate, brown concrete, or something more bespoke. This approach is safe for all roofing materials and especially suited to older or heritage properties.

Homeowners are often surprised by just how dramatic the transformation is. What looked like a tired, ageing roof can appear nearly new again — and that instantly improves kerb appeal and makes your home stand out. For those thinking about selling or just looking to maintain a well-kept exterior, restoring the colour of your roof tiles is one of the most effective upgrades available.

We’ve restored roofs on everything from period cottages in Buckinghamshire to modern semis in Kent — always using the safest and most appropriate cleaning method for each property.

Our Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Process — Step by Step

We tailor every job to suit your roof — from the type of tiles to the level of moss and staining. Whether we use DOFF steam cleaning, soft washing, or both, our goal is always the same: a safe, effective clean with zero damage.

1. Roof Assessment & Protection

We begin with a full inspection to assess your roof type and choose the safest method. Before cleaning starts, we protect surrounding areas like patios, furniture, and plants, and clear your gutters to prevent mess and blockages.

2. Moss Removal, Cleaning & Aftercare

Heavy moss is removed manually to reduce buildup and prepare the surface. We then clean the roof using either:

DOFF steam cleaning — our preferred method, using superheated water at low pressure for instant results with no harsh chemicals
Soft wash treatment — a gentle solution that kills moss spores over time and helps prevent regrowth

To protect your roof long term, we also offer biocide aftercare treatments. This helps prevent moss and algae from returning, extending the life of your clean.

Long-Term Roof Protection with Biocide Treatment

A clean roof is just the start — the real value is in keeping it that way. That’s why we apply a professional-grade biocide roof treatment after most cleans. This moss prevention solution kills remaining spores that aren’t visible after DOFF steam cleaning or soft washing, helping to prevent moss regrowth for years to come.

This low-pressure application works deep into your tiles, acting as a long-term roof aftercare solution that protects against algae, lichen, and organic buildup. It’s suitable for clay, slate, and concrete roofs, and especially effective on homes exposed to shade, damp conditions, or tree cover — where moss tends to return fastest.

We also take extra care to protect surrounding patios, plants, drains, and landscaping during the treatment to avoid any overspray or runoff.
