Clean Roof

A cleaner roof isn't just tidier — it lasts longer.

Overview

Clean Roof You Can Depend On

The UK's damp climate is ideal for moss, algae and lichen, and left unchecked they gradually work their way under tiles and into joints, trapping moisture against the roof covering and accelerating wear. Advanced Roofers Ltd offers a thorough, careful roof cleaning service that removes this growth without risking damage to the tiles beneath.

Rather than blasting the surface with high-pressure jet washing — which can dislodge tiles, force water beneath the covering, and strip protective granules from felt and asphalt shingles — we use appropriate low-pressure cleaning methods and biocide treatments matched to your roof type, safely removing moss, algae and lichen while protecting the integrity of the covering.

As part of every clean, we also clear gutters and valleys of the debris that moss growth typically sheds, and carry out a visual check of the roof surface, flagging any loose or damaged tiles we notice so small issues can be addressed before they become leaks.

A regular cleaning cycle every few years is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your existing roof covering, particularly on north-facing slopes and properties overshadowed by trees, which tend to hold onto moisture and grow moss fastest.

Benefits

Why choose our clean roof service

Here's what sets our approach apart, from the materials we use to the guarantees we stand behind.

✓

Extends Roof Covering Lifespan

Removing trapped moss and moisture reduces the freeze-thaw damage that shortens the life of tiles and slates.

✓

Prevents Blocked Gutters

Regular cleaning stops moss and debris washing down and clogging your guttering and downpipes.

✓

Improves Kerb Appeal

A clean roof dramatically improves the overall appearance of your property from the street.

✓

Low-Pressure, Tile-Safe Methods

We avoid aggressive jet washing that can dislodge tiles or force water beneath the roof covering.

✓

Early Damage Spotted

Every clean includes a visual check, so loose or damaged tiles are identified while they're still easy to fix.

✓

Cost-Effective Maintenance

Periodic cleaning is significantly cheaper than the repairs that untreated moss and damp can eventually cause.

High-pressure jet washing can dislodge tiles and force water under the covering, which is why we use controlled, low-pressure cleaning methods matched to your specific roof type instead.
