Why choose hand cleaning?
High-pressure washing can strip protective coatings, dislodge tiles and force water into places it shouldn't go. A careful hand clean takes longer, but the results are more consistent and the risk to your roof is dramatically reduced.
We work methodically across the whole roof, paying particular attention to valleys, ridges and areas where moss has taken hold. When we're finished we clear down and leave the site tidy.
Who we clean for: landlords, holiday lets, listed and conservation-area homes, church halls and community buildings, period properties and commercial roofs.

Our process
A careful, methodical approach designed to protect your roof and your property.
Inspection & set-up
We inspect the roof, agree the plan and set up safely with the right access before any work begins.
Manual moss removal
We clear moss and heavy debris from tiles and valleys by hand — carefully, tile by tile.
Softwash & biocide
We follow up with a gentle softwash and a professional biocide treatment to slow regrowth.
Tile roof cleaning without the damage
Most roof tiles cleaning problems start with the wrong method. A high-pressure roof wash can strip the surface of concrete tiles, erode clay and push water under the laps. Our roof cleaning service clears moss and debris by hand, tile by tile, then uses a low-pressure softwash and professional biocide to deal with algae and spores.
The roof cleaning chemicals we use are biocide treatments applied at low pressure, not harsh stripping agents. They work on the growth over the following weeks, which is why a roof keeps improving after we leave.
Is roof cleaning worth it?
For most homes with visible moss or staining, yes. Moss holds water against the tiles and sheds into the gutters, so clearing it protects the roof as well as improving how the house looks. Our before and after photos in the gallery show the difference on real Bedfordshire roofs.
We do not offer roof sealing or coating. Our focus is cleaning and biocide treatment, backed by a 24-month biocide guarantee.
Choosing a roof cleaning company in the UK
When comparing roof cleaning companies, ask how they clean the tiles, whether they are insured and what guarantee comes with the treatment. We are a family-run, fully insured team of roof cleaning specialists based in Ampthill, covering Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties.
Every roof is different, so we price each job after looking at the size, pitch, access and how much moss there is. Our cost guide explains what affects a quote, and the quote itself is free.
Frequently asked
Do you use pressure washers?
Not on the roof itself. Our roof service is hand-cleaned. High-pressure washing is generally unsuitable for delicate tiles and can cause damage.
How long does a roof clean take?
It depends on the size of the roof and how much moss is present, but most domestic roofs are completed in one to two days.
Will you make a mess of the garden?
We take care with sheeting and clearing debris. We leave the site tidy — that's a non-negotiable for us.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Every few years is typical for most UK homes. A biocide top-up in between can extend the results.
Is roof cleaning worth it?
For most roofs with visible moss or staining, yes. It stops moss holding water against the tiles and blocking gutters, and a biocide treatment slows it coming back.
Does roof cleaning damage tiles?
Pressure washing can. We clean by hand and use a low-pressure softwash, which is much gentler on tiles. If we find damaged or fragile tiles we flag them before going further.
How much is professional roof cleaning?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, access and how much moss there is, so we quote each roof individually. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.
How much does roof washing cost?
We do not pressure wash roofs, so we do not price a roof wash. A hand clean with softwash and biocide is quoted after we have seen the roof or photos of it.
