Roof Cleaning in Sheffield
Safe soft-wash roof cleaning and moss removal, transform a tired, mossy roof without damaging the tiles.
Moss and lichen hold moisture against your roof, block gutters and shorten the life of your tiles. We clean concrete, clay and slate roofs across Sheffield using a soft-wash approach, never high pressure, which can strip the protective coating off tiles.
The process starts with careful scraping or low-pressure removal of heavy moss build-up. Tiles are then treated with a biocidal soft-wash solution that kills algae, lichen and moss spores at the root. Over the following weeks the roof continues to brighten as the weather rinses it.
We can also clean and re-bed ridge tiles, apply a tile coating in your chosen colour, and clear the gutters and downpipes of dislodged moss as part of the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will jet washing damage my roof tiles?
Yes, high-pressure washing strips the protective surface off concrete tiles. We only soft-wash, which is the safe industry-standard method.
How long until the roof looks clean?
Heavy moss is removed immediately. The biocidal wash continues to work over 3-12 months as weather rinses dead growth away.
Do you apply a coating afterwards?
We can, in a choice of colours. It restores uniform appearance and adds water-shedding protection. We'll quote it separately.
Will the chemicals harm planting below?
We pre-wet and rinse sensitive plants. The biocide breaks down quickly and is safe once diluted.
