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.

Sorry to add this bad report but I’ve waited quite a long time for Tom to come and amend his bad work. Still hasn’t come and is now ignoring all calls etc. First rainfall my patio has two areas, one side of the house the patio has a massive pool of water standing not draining away. I’ve repeatedly called and asked Tom to come. He came once and drilled a couple of holes, that hasn’t solved the problem. He is not responding to me now so I’m stuck with it. Paid a lot of money and so dissatisfied

So pleased with the work Ciprian did for me. He sourced the security gate and found a great reasonable price for me. He communicated throughout and arrived promptly to my home to install the gate. He was very professional and polite at all times. He demonstrated how to use the gate and fully explained the whole process. I would recommend Ciprian and am very grateful for the work he completed.

We were contacted quickly by the roofer and he came very quickly to have a look at the job that needed doing. That afternoon we received the quote and he send someone over to do the job two days later. It was done properly that day, with photos to show how nicely it was done! We are very pleased, with everything; the speed of the investigation, the speed of the pricing, the speed of the job, and the way the job was done! Terrific.

If i could have given half a star i would have. I was told that my work would have taken 5 days to complete we are now into our 3rd week and it is no way near finished. They were turning up at lunch time and leaving at 5 or starting at 11 and finishing at 2.15. So we got fed up with it and told them to leave. Would definitely not recommend
