🧱 What Affects the Cost?

  • Roof Size & Slope
    Bigger or steeper roofs = more time and safety measures.

  • Level of Moss & Grime
    Heavier growth requires more prep, cleaning, and treatment.

  • Access
    Terraced houses with difficult rear access may take longer.

  • Extras (e.g. gutters, fascias, patios)
    Bundling services often reduces the per-service cost.

💷 Is Roof Cleaning Actually Worth It?

Yes — and here’s why:

✅ Extends Roof Lifespan

Moss holds moisture and eats away at tiles. Removing it prevents early decay.

✅ Boosts Property Value

A spotless roof adds curb appeal and trust — especially when selling.

✅ Prevents Damp & Drainage Issues

Blocked gutters = water overflow, fascia damage, and internal leaks.

✅ Saves £££ in Repairs

The average roof repair in the UK is £2,000+. Cleaning costs a fraction of that.
