Roof cleaning inDerby.
Mickleover, Allestree, Chaddesden, Spondon and Belper. Clay plain tiles and concrete roofs cleaned from a tower, never walked on.
Derby has thousands of clay plain-tile roofs. They need a gentle hand.
Drive round Derby and you see the same thing on street after street: small red clay plain tiles on the inter-war semis, Victorian terraces and older villas. They look great clean, but they are porous, they hold water, and over the years lichen and moss turn them brown and grey. The photos on this page are from our own jobs in Derby.
We come down the M1 from Barnsley, under an hour away, and cover the city and the villages around it: Allestree, Darley Abbey, Mickleover, Littleover, Chaddesden, Spondon, Oakwood, Alvaston, Chellaston and Sinfin, and out to Duffield, Belper, Borrowash and Ripley. Distance never changes the price.
Plain tiles should never be blasted with high pressure. We clean them from a mobile tower with low pressure or a soft wash, lift the moss by hand where it is thick, and finish with biocide guaranteed for four years.

Derby roofsClay plain tiles,
slate and concrete.
The inter-war semis in Allestree, Littleover, Chaddesden and Alvaston are mostly clay plain tiles. They are cleaned with low pressure or a soft wash, then treated so the lichen does not come back.
Victorian terraces in Normanton, Pear Tree and around the city centre often have Welsh slate, which is soft washed with the moss removed by hand.
Newer estates in Mickleover, Chellaston and Oakwood usually have concrete interlocking tiles, which come up well with roof attachments. Gutters are cleared on every job, and you can add gutter cleaning in Derby on its own too.

Roof cleaning in Derby, answered.
Can you clean clay plain tiles without damaging them?
Yes. Plain tiles are cleaned with low pressure or a soft wash from a tower, never high pressure, and never walked on.
Do you cover Belper, Duffield and Ripley?
Yes, as well as the whole city from Allestree and Mickleover to Chellaston and Spondon.
Is the travel from Barnsley added to the price?
No. Distance does not change the price.
My tiles have gone brown and grey. Is that moss?
Usually it is lichen and algae, with moss in the gaps. It comes off with the right method, and the biocide stops it returning.
Do you quote without visiting?
Yes. We quote from satellite images and Street View, usually the same day.
