Very responsive, arrived on time and gave options for roof repair, quoted competitively and completed the work to a high standard leaving no mess. Hard working and honest guy with a crack team.

David

Quick, professional and friendly. The team gave me the impression that they are happy to do extra to get the best results. Carl and the team did exactly what they said they would do in the quote in the agreed time.

Daniel

Lee and his team worked incredibly hard and communicated well to let us know when they would be doing the work. They were always professional and courteous and often worked on weekends to speed up the work. We are really pleased with the quality of the finish and would thoroughly recommend the company.

Roof cleaning services

How much does it cost to clean a roof?

The cost of roof cleaning can vary depending on the method used and the size of the roof:

  • Hand Removal/Biocide Treatment: Typically costs about £11.50 per square metre, effective for removing moss and preventing regrowth.
  • Pressure Washing: Costs around £8.50 per square metre and is suitable for removing dirt, grime, and some moss.
  • Steam Cleaning: Priced at approximately £11 per square metre, ideal for delicate tiles that require gentle cleaning.
  • Soft Washing: Generally costs £18 per square metre and involves applying chemicals that remove and protect against organic growth.

How long does it take to get a roof cleaned?

  • Detached Houses: Typically takes about 6-7 hours, with labour costs ranging from £550 to £600.
  • Semi-Detached Houses: Cleaning can take 4-5 hours, costing between £350 and £450.
  • Terraced Houses: Usually takes 3-4 hours, with costs between £450 and £500.
  • Bungalows: Takes about 3-5 hours, costing between £300 and £450.

The time and cost might vary based on the roof size and the degree of dirt or moss accumulation.

How do I know if the job has been done well?

To ensure that a roof cleaning job has been performed to a high standard, several indicators should be evident upon completion:

  • Moss Color Change: Properly treated moss should change colour, usually turning white, yellow, or brown, indicating that it has been effectively neutralised and will not continue to grow.
  • Clean Appearance: The roof tiles should appear uniformly clean, with no streaks, stains, or patches of dirt or algae. The overall look should be refreshed and noticeably improved compared to before the cleaning.
  • Intact Roof: The cleaning process should not cause any damage to the roof tiles or the overall structure. There should be no cracked tiles or dislodged elements; everything should remain intact and secure.
  • No Residual Debris: A well-done roof cleaning job includes thorough cleanup after the process. There should be no leaves, dirt, or cleaning residue left behind in gutters or on the roof itself.
  • Effective Drainage: Post-cleaning, the roof’s drainage system (gutters and downspouts) should be clear and functioning properly, without any blockages that can lead to water accumulation.

At Rated People, we understand the importance of choosing the right professional for your roof cleaning needs. That’s why we provide access to reviews from previous customers for each tradesperson on our platform. These reviews offer valuable insights into the quality of work, reliability, and professionalism of roof cleaners, helping you make an informed decision.

Other roof cleaning FAQs

How often should you clean a roof?

It’s recommended to clean your roof every 2-3 years to prevent excessive moss growth and to maintain its appearance and integrity.

What kills black mould on roofs?

Black mould can be effectively killed with a solution of bleach and water, or anti-mould products applied during soft washing.

Is soft washing a roof safe?

Yes, soft washing is safe for most roofing materials as it uses low pressure and specialised solutions to clean without causing damage.

Endrit and his team were wonderful to work with - friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble for them, despite me changing aspects of the kitchen renovation and install during the process. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect and that I was happy with all aspects. My new kitchen looks amazing and I can't recommend Endrit and his team highly enough - I have already recommended E Saint George to friends and will be getting them back to install my bathroom.

We are Solar Technicians. Not pest control experts or window cleaners. We have the knowledge and experience when it involves installing or maintaining your Solar Panels. You wouldn’t want a brick layer working of your solar panels, would you? All our work comes with a Workmanship Guarantee and we are covered by our Public liability insurance. We do not use any chemicals or treatment to clean the solar panels and our specialist equipment protects the ARC on the face of the solar panels. Using the wrong equipment could be detrimental to your solar panels. We only use the highest standard of materials for Solar Bird Protection and the correct equipment for carrying out Solar Panel Cleans. Hence why pest control experts stuff chicken wire under the Solar Panels & window cleaners get poor results when they attempt to clean the Solar Panels from the ground with a soft bristle brush. We will be gaining access to the roof without scaffolding, which keeps the cost down and also using the correct equipment to clean the panles that will remove the build up of Lichen, Algae & any pollen / dust whilst still protecting the ARC on the face of the solar panels. We would advise a solar clean once a year, anymore is not necessary. If you wish to have both services completed at the same time, we would be happy to offer a discount. Please feel free to read our reviews on Google, for your own peace of mind of the quality service we provide.
