Roof Cleaning in Gloucestershire & South Gloucestershire
Professional roof cleaning and moss removal for moss-covered, weathered and neglected roofs. We combine careful moss removal, gutter clearing and an appropriate biocide treatment to achieve a thorough, longer-lasting result.
Professional roof cleaning and moss removal with a careful, considered approach
Roofs can gradually become covered with moss, algae, lichen and organic debris. Besides making the property look tired, heavy moss growth can fall into gutters, block drainage and retain moisture around the roof covering.
Our roof cleaning and moss removal service is planned around the roof itself. Depending on the tiles, pitch, access and condition, the work may include manual moss scraping, removal of loose debris, clearing the gutters and applying a suitable biocide treatment to help deal with remaining organic growth.
We work on concrete tiles, clay tiles, slate and other suitable tiled roofs, using access equipment and cleaning methods chosen for the individual property rather than treating every roof in exactly the same way.
What we help with
Manual moss removal
Moss is carefully removed using tools suited to the roof tiles, helping avoid the unnecessarily aggressive use of high pressure.
Roof-specific methods
The method is adapted to the roof material, condition, pitch and safe access requirements.
Honest recommendations
We explain what can realistically be achieved, whether treatment is suitable and what access arrangements may be needed.

Roof cleaning can include manual moss removal, clearing loose debris, gutter clearance and an appropriate biocide treatment. The exact service depends on the roof material, pitch, condition and access.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
In most cases, we favour manual moss removal and treatment rather than aggressively pressure washing roof tiles. The safest method depends on the roof, so it is assessed before work begins.
What does the biocide treatment do?
A biocide treatment helps target remaining organic growth after the bulk of the moss has been removed. The roof can continue to improve gradually as weathering helps wash away treated residue.
Do you clear the gutters afterwards?
Yes. Loose moss and debris removed during the roof clean can collect in the gutters, so gutter clearance is normally included as part of completing the job properly.
Can you clean concrete, clay and slate roofs?
We can clean many concrete, clay and slate roofs, subject to their condition and safe access. Older, fragile or damaged roofs may need additional assessment before any work is recommended.
How do you access the roof safely?
Access depends on the property. We may use suitable ladders, a scaffold tower or other safe access arrangements. Any access requirements will be explained clearly when quoting.
Can I send photos for a quote?
Yes. Clear photographs of the roof from several angles, together with the property address and any known access issues, can often help with an initial estimate. A site visit may still be required.
Why remove moss from your roof?
Moss holds moisture against roof tiles and can loosen during heavy rain, falling into gutters and downpipes. Professional roof moss removal helps keep drainage routes clearer, reduces the build-up of wet organic debris and improves the overall appearance of your property.
Our process focuses on careful manual moss removal rather than unnecessarily aggressive pressure washing. Once the heavier growth and loose debris have been removed, we can apply a professional biocide treatment to target remaining organic growth and help slow regrowth over time.
The correct approach depends on the roof covering, its age and condition, and safe access. We assess these factors before recommending roof cleaning, roof de-mossing or a moss treatment for your property.
Roofs are constantly exposed to rain, shade, airborne dirt and organic growth. Over time, moss can spread across the tiles, collect in valleys and fall into gutters. Proper roof cleaning and moss removal considers the roof covering, the level of growth, drainage and safe access.
Complete roof cleaning and moss removal, not just a quick surface wash
All Round Exterior Cleaning combines careful manual removal with the appropriate finishing treatment. The aim is to remove heavy moss, clear the resulting debris and treat remaining organic growth without relying on unnecessarily aggressive pressure.
Professional equipment and safe access planning are important, but the method matters just as much. Roof tiles vary considerably in age, strength and condition, so we assess the roof before deciding how the work should be carried out.
What roof surfaces can we clean?
Concrete roof tiles
Concrete tiles commonly develop thick moss growth, particularly on shaded elevations. Manual scraping followed by treatment can produce a substantial improvement.
Clay roof tiles
Clay tiles require a considered approach because their surface and age can vary. We assess their condition before recommending a suitable method.
Slate roofs
Slate roofs can often be improved through careful moss removal and treatment, provided the slates and fixings are in suitable condition.
Other tiled roofs
Other tiled roofs are assessed individually so the cleaning and access method can be matched to the material and condition.
Our roof cleaning and moss removal process
Roof assessment and access planningWe inspect the paving material, staining, joints, drainage, access and overall condition so the restoration can be planned properly.
Manual moss removalLoose growth and debris are cleared before the patio is professionally cleaned using a method appropriate for the surface.
Debris collection and clear-upBlack spots, algae, lichen and other organic growth may receive additional targeted treatment where needed.
Gutter clearanceOnce conditions are suitable, optional work such as removing failed joints, repointing, re-sanding or sealing can be completed as agreed.
Why professional roof cleaning and moss removal is different
Professional roof cleaning and moss removal is very different from simply directing high pressure at the tiles. The roof covering, age, condition, pitch and access all affect which method is appropriate, and fragile or damaged areas must be treated with particular care.
We also complete the work beyond the visible tiles. Loose moss and debris are collected, gutters are cleared where included, and a suitable treatment can be applied to help address remaining organic growth and slow its return.
Improve the whole exterior of your property
Roof cleaning can be combined with gutter clearance, gutter and fascia washing, render cleaning, pressure washing and other exterior services so the whole property looks cleaner and better maintained.
