Low-pressureroof cleaning.
Our main method. Special roof-cleaning attachments lift moss, algae and lichen off the surface in a controlled way, without blasting the tiles.
High pressure strips tiles. Low pressure, done right, just cleans them.
"Pressure washing a roof" has a bad name, and for good reason: a jet washer held close to a tile can erode the surface, crack old concrete and drive water where it shouldn't go.
What we do is different. We use attachments designed for roof cleaning and keep the pressure low and controlled, working tile by tile from a scaffold tower beside the house. Moss, algae and lichen come away and the tile surface stays intact. You see the result immediately.
Low pressure is our standard method because on most sound roofs it gives the best, fastest and most even result. When a roof is too fragile for it, we tell you and use soft washing or hand scraping instead.
Assessed first
Tile type, age and condition checked before we decide on pressure.
Controlled flow
Roof-specific attachments, low pressure, worked down the slope with the tiles.
Biocide finish
Every low-pressure clean is finished with biocide to stop regrowth.
Low pressure, from the towerBest for sound, solid roofs.
- Concrete interlocking tiles in good condition
- Heavy moss that needs to come off in one visit
- Roofs where you want the full visual result straight away
When we won't use it
- Fragile, weathered or flaking tiles
- Porous or degraded roofing materials
- Roofs with structural or installation problems

How a low-pressure clean runs.
- Set-upTower in place, drains and garden protected, the area below kept clear.
- CleanWorked down the roof in sections, following the line of the tiles.
- RinseDebris rinsed off the roof and out of the gutters.
- Biocide & tidyBiocide applied, everything below washed down.
Questions, answered.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
High-pressure washing often isn't. Controlled low pressure with roof attachments is safe on sound tiles, which is why we assess the roof first.
What is the difference from soft washing?
Low pressure removes growth physically with water. Soft washing uses a cleaning solution with almost no pressure and lets the chemistry do the work. We use whichever suits the roof.
Will it cause leaks?
Not on a sound roof. We work with the line of the tiles, never against it, so water runs off the way rain does.
Is it messy?
Moss and debris come off, so yes, but we protect the area below and clean everything up before we leave.
