Moss holds water against the tiles and sheds clumps into the gutters below. Algae and lichen stain the roof and make it look tired. However, the bigger worry is the debris, because it blocks the gutters and outlets underneath.
Our article on what happens if you don't clean your gutters shows where the water goes once the system clogs. Moss also feeds the problem described in moss and leaves in gutters, since it falls into the gutters.
How we clean a roof
- A visual inspection of the roof, tiles and gutters before we quote
- Removal of moss, algae and lichen using a method suited to your tiles
- A biocide treatment to help slow regrowth
- Clearing the debris that falls into the gutters
Price guides list several methods, including soft washing, pressure washing and hand removal with biocide. We choose the method that suits your roof, because tile type and condition vary. A roof in poor condition may need repair before cleaning, and we say so if it does.
Because debris always drops into the gutters, we clear them as part of the job. Our gutter cleaning service covers the same work if you only need the gutters.
How long it takes and how long it lasts
A small roof typically takes about 2 to 4 hours, an average roof 4 to 6 hours and a large detached roof 6 to 8 hours. Because access and the amount of growth change the time, we confirm the likely time when we quote.
Moss can return, especially on shaded or north-facing roofs. A biocide treatment helps slow regrowth, yet it does not stop it for good. Ask for a fresh check every few years, and read whether blocked gutters cause damp to see why a clear roof and gutters work together.
When to clean your roof
Look for green or black patches, rings of lichen and clumps of moss in the gutters. A roof that stays shaded by trees or walls grows moss faster. Consequently, north-facing slopes are often the first to need attention.
Cleaning also shows the true state of the roof. Cracked or slipped tiles can hide under growth. Because roof repairs are a separate job, we tell you if we see anything that needs a roofer.
Typical roof cleaning prices
Cleaning moss off the roof of a typical semi-detached or three-bedroom house usually costs about £400 to £900, depending on the method. However, these are national ranges from price guides, not a promise of our own price.
Roof size, pitch, access and the amount of growth all change the figure. Therefore we give a free fixed quote after a visual inspection. Our pricing guide explains how we quote.
