Moss & algae removal

Our method

Softwashing & steam cleaning done properly.

We never jet wash roofs. High-pressure water lifts protective granules and forces water under tiles. Instead we use professional softwashing and low-pressure steam to clean, treat and protect your roof with the right access equipment for the job, whether that’s a telescopic pole system or scaffold towers.

Low-pressure steam

Heat and gentle flow kill moss, algae and lichen at the root without damaging tiles.

The right access for the job

Telescopic pole systems where suitable, scaffold towers where needed always the safest option for your roof.

Even, professional finish

No streaks, no scarred tiles a consistent finish that keeps looking clean for longer.

Why homeowners choose us

The professional finish, without the pressure.

Safer by design

Trained operators, proper access equipment and full insurance the risk stays with us, not you.

Kinder to your roof

Steam and low pressure preserve tile granules and the integrity of your roof covering.

Deep, lasting clean

Moss, algae and dirt are treated at the source not just blasted away for a few weeks.

Reviews

What Our Customers Say

Don’t just take our word for it  see what our customers have to say

Our roof was completely covered in moss. After the softwash it looks brand new no aggressive jet washing, just a proper professional job. Brilliant service.

Sarah T. Maidstone

Very professional from quote to finish. Thorough, even clean across the whole roof, and they took the time to explain exactly what they were doing. Neighbours have already asked who we used.

James & Helen R. Canterbury

I was worried about pressure washing damaging the tiles. These guys use steam and it made a huge difference. Clean, safe, and the finish has lasted well over a year.

Frequently asked questions

Do you use high-pressure water on roofs?

No. Jet washing damages tiles and forces water where it shouldn’t go. We softwash and steam clean at low pressure instead.

Will you need scaffold towers or access equipment?
Sometimes. Many roofs can be cleaned using a telescopic pole system, but larger, steeper or harder-to-reach roofs need scaffold towers for safe access. We’ll confirm exactly what’s required at the free survey.
How long does a roof clean take?
It depends on the size, pitch and condition of the roof. Some are done in a day, others take longer — especially where heavy moss removal or scaffold access is involved. We’ll give you a realistic timescale with your quote.
How long will the results last?

Softwashing and steam treat moss and algae at the root, and an optional biocide treatment slows regrowth keeping your roof looking clean for years, not months.
