Roof Cleaning

Expert Roof Cleaning Services You Can Trust

Moss holds moisture against your tiles and slates like a sponge. Through the winter that water can freeze and expand, lifting tile edges and widening small cracks, while clumps that break away are washed into the gutters and block the outlets. Algae and lichen spread more slowly but stain the roof and keep its surface damp. Clearing the growth before it takes hold helps the covering shed water as it was designed to.

TNR cleans roofs on homes and commercial buildings across Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Surrey, removing moss, algae, lichen and the debris that gathers in valleys and behind chimneys. No single technique is used on every roof. After a free inspection, the method is chosen to suit your covering, because concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate each respond differently, and an approach that is fine on one can damage another.

Why choose us

Why Choose Our Roof Cleaning Services

Method Matched to the Covering

The cleaning approach is chosen to suit your tiles or slates rather than applied the same way to every roof, which protects older and more fragile coverings.

Roofers, Not Just Cleaners

As a roofing contractor, TNR can tell you about slipped tiles or tired flashings found during the clean and repair them if you want.

Gutters Left Clear

Moss taken off the roof is cleared from the gutters as well, so the job does not leave a fresh blockage at the eaves.

Insured for Roof Work

Our public liability insurance applies while we work on your roof, and TNR is a vetted Checkatrade member.

Pricing

Factors That Set the Cost of Roof Cleaning

Roof cleaning is priced after a free inspection, taking account of:

  • The size and pitch of the roof.
  • How heavy the moss, algae or lichen growth is.
  • The type and condition of the tiles or slates, which decides the cleaning method.
  • Access to the roof, including its height and any conservatories or extensions below.
  • Features such as chimneys, valleys, dormers and roof lights that need working around.

The work

Our Roof Cleaning Process

The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.

  1. Roof and Growth Inspection

    We identify the roof covering, check its condition and assess how much moss, algae and lichen has built up, noting any loose or broken tiles before cleaning starts.

  2. Choosing the Cleaning Method

    Based on the covering and its condition, we select a method that will clear the growth without harming the tiles or slates, and explain it to you with your quote.

  3. Clearing the Roof Surface

    Moss, algae, lichen and debris are removed from the slopes, ridges and valleys, working carefully around chimneys and roof lights.

  4. Gutter Clear-Out and Sign-Off

    Material removed from the roof is cleared out of the gutters and from the ground below, and then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does roof cleaning involve?

It means removing moss, algae, lichen and debris from the roof covering, then clearing whatever comes off out of the gutters. The exact technique depends on whether your roof is tiled or slated and how sound the covering is.

Is roof cleaning safe for my roof tiles?

It is when the method suits the tiles. The inspection identifies your covering and its condition, and the cleaning is planned around that, so older or brittle tiles are not put at risk.

How often should roof cleaning be done?

Many roofs only need cleaning every few years, but a roof under trees or on a shaded, north-facing slope can grow moss far more quickly. During the inspection we can give you a sense of how fast growth is likely to return on your property.

Can roof cleaning help prevent roof repairs?

Removing moss stops it holding water against the tiles, which reduces frost damage and keeps gutters from blocking. It also gives a clear view of the roof, so small faults can be repaired before they turn into leaks.

Do you clean roofs in Hemel Hempstead?
