Roof cleaning

Restore your roof, protect your home

Over the years moss, algae and lichen take hold on a roof. They hold moisture against the tiles, spread into the gutters and downpipes, and get worse every season they are left.

We take all of that growth off safely with our compressed air system, clear out the gutters and finish with a biocide treatment that keeps working long after we leave. The roof looks transformed and stays cleaner for far longer.

What happens when moss is left

The longer it's left, the more it costs. Cleaning the roof now costs far less than replacing damaged tiles later.

Our method

Compressed air, never jet washed

Plenty of companies blast a roof with a pressure washer because it is quick. It is also one of the worst things you can do to it. High pressure strips the surface off the tiles, can crack or dislodge them and forces water up under the laps.

We remove the moss with our compressed air system, so the tiles are looked after. Once the roof is clear and the gutters are cleaned out, we apply a biocide treatment that kills the spores left behind and keeps working over the following months.

FAQs

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED

Anything else, give us a call on 01403 613133.

How much does a roof clean cost?

Full roof cleans start from £695. The final price depends on the size of the roof, how much moss is on it and how easy it is to get to. We'll give you a clear, fixed quote before any work starts, with no obligation.

Do you pressure wash roofs?

No. We never pressure wash roofs. High pressure can crack or dislodge tiles, strip the surface and force water underneath. We remove the moss with our compressed air system, then apply a biocide treatment.

How long does it last?

The biocide treatment kills the spores, algae and lichen left behind and slows regrowth, so your roof stays clean for far longer than a clean on its own. We're confident enough in it to back every full roof clean with our 5 year no moss guarantee. If moss comes back within five years, we'll come back and sort it at no extra cost.

How long does the job take?

It depends on the size of the roof and how much moss there is. We'll tell you how long yours will take when we quote, so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you clear the gutters too?

Yes. Moss that comes off the roof is cleared out of the gutters and downpipes as part of every full roof clean, and any areas it has landed on are cleaned down.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily. As long as we can get to the roof safely, we can crack on while you're out. We'll talk it through with you when we book the job in.

What is a maintenance roof treatment?

For roofs that have already been cleaned and just need a fresh treatment to keep regrowth down. Good for new roofs too, to protect them from day one.

Are you insured?

Yes, Arcline Cleaning Group is fully insured for all roof work across Surrey and Sussex.
