Overview
Professional roof cleaning and long-lasting protection
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your property, protecting your home from the elements. Over time, moss, algae and lichen can accumulate, affecting its appearance and potentially contributing to blocked gutters and moisture retention.
At Pristine Clean Exteriors, our City & Guilds Assured Professional Softwash Technicians are professionally trained to safely and effectively remove organic growth using specialist roof cleaning techniques.
Before recommending a cleaning method, we assess your roof's condition, tile type and accessibility to determine the safest and most effective approach for your property.
Once cleaned, we apply a professional biocide softwash treatment to target remaining organic growth and help prevent rapid regrowth, delivering longer-lasting results backed by our 2-year moss-free guarantee.

What to avoid
Mistakes we help you avoid
Improper roof cleaning methods can cause unnecessary damage, shorten the lifespan of your roof and lead to costly repairs. Our professional approach helps protect your property while delivering long-lasting results.
Using excessive pressure
High-pressure washing can damage roof tiles, dislodge protective coatings and force water beneath tiles. We use appropriate cleaning methods to minimise these risks.
Ignoring moss and organic growth
Moss retains moisture and can contribute to tile deterioration, blocked gutters and drainage problems. Early treatment helps prevent more expensive issues developing.
Cleaning without biocide treatment
Removing visible moss alone may leave behind organic growth. Our specialist biocide treatments help inhibit regrowth and keep your roof cleaner for longer.
Using inexperienced contractors
Incorrect cleaning techniques and inadequate safety precautions can result in costly damage. Our trained technicians use specialist equipment and proven methods to clean your roof safely and professionally.
Peace of mind

Our professional roof cleaning service includes specialist biocide treatment, backed by our 2-year moss-free guarantee, subject to our terms and conditions.
We take care to protect your property throughout the cleaning process, remove associated debris and carry out a final inspection, leaving your roof clean, treated and protected against organic regrowth.
