(FULL GUIDE)

Everything You Need to Know Before Moss Wrecks Your Roof (and Your Curb Appeal)

You know what’s worse than moss on a roof?

Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but if your roof is covered in green fuzz, your gutters are overflowing with sludge, and your starting to see clumps of moss landing on your patio — it’s time to talk roof cleaning in Leicester.

Let’s look at the best way to get your roof clean, strong, and moss-free…

Why You Should Clean Your Roof (Before It’s Too Late)

Let’s get brutally honest for a second.

If your roof is growing moss, lichen, algae, or weird green stuff — your home isn’t just looking neglected… it is neglected.

Here’s what happens when you leave it:

So yes — roof cleaning and moss removal in Leicester is maintenance. But it’s also one of the cheapest ways to instantly upgrade the look of your home and protect your biggest asset.

Insurance Tip: Some insurers may void claims for water ingress if your roof’s condition shows signs of neglect. Keeping it clean is part of keeping it covered.

The Advantages of Roof Cleaning

Let’s flip the mossy coin and talk benefits.

  • Protect your roof tiles from damage.

  • Extend your roof’s life by years.

  • Keep your gutters free-flowing and functional.
  • Prevent costly roof repairs later down the line.

  • Boost kerb appeal instantly.

  • Keep patios, paths, and driveways clear of debris.
  • Improve water run-off and drainage.

  • Say goodbye to slippery moss bombs on the pavement.

  • And if that wasn’t enough — clean roofs just look better. Cleaner. Smarter. Like someone who’s got their life together.

How Dirty Roofs Happen (and How Fast It Can Get Bad)

Moss growth starts slow… then suddenly it’s everywhere.

The 3 Roof Cleaning Methods We Use

Not all roofs are created equal. Some can handle a little muscle. Others need a gentle hand. That’s why we offer three professional options — and we always carry out a free roof suitability check before doing anything.

Roof Biocide Treatment

1. Biocide Treatment

A preventative treatment. Ideal for roofs starting to go green, also helpful to suppress regrowth following roof scraping / low-pressure washing treatments.

Biocide Roof Treatment

This is the most delicate but powerful method.

Biocide is a professional-grade treatment that kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root and keeps working for months after application.

No pressure, no scraping — just spray and walk away
Ideal for fragile or older roofs
Long-lasting protection (prevents regrowth)
Results develop over time — but they’re worth the wait
Think of this as your roof’s personal detox. Quietly working in the background, improving everything from the inside out.

Roof Scraping Giff

2. Roof Scraping

Perfect for roofs with light-to-heavy moss and that require more delicate cleaning. Improves roof appearance, but won't remove ingrained dirt and grime.

Roof Scraping (Using Specialist Tools)

We use telescopic scrapers and brushes that are moulded to the shape of your roof tiles, so they get under the moss and remove it cleanly — without harming the tiles.

Ideal for visibly mossy roofs
No chemicals or water — just precision scraping
All done from the roof edge — no walking on tiles
Perfect prep for a follow-up biocide treatment
This method gives instant visible results and is perfect if you’re selling, renting, or just sick of the green fuzz.

Low pressure roof washing

3. Low-Pressure Roof Washing

Ultimate roof cleaning results for roofs in good condition. Blast away years of dirt and grime, giving instant kerb appeal.

Low-Pressure Roof Washing

Not to be confused with amateur pressure washing that wrecks tiles and voids warranties.

We use low-pressure, commercial-grade systems with long-reach lances and small surface cleaners that safely deep-clean roof tiles.

Immediate aesthetic results
Great for tough dirt and staining
Followed by biocide for long-term protection
Only used if your roof is suitable (we’ll assess this first)

Roof Cleaning Methods Compared

Easily compare professional roof cleaning options to find the safest and most effective method for your home. This chart breaks down the pros, cons, and costs of biocide treatment, roof scraping, and low-pressure washing — helping you choose the right way to remove moss from your roof without causing damage.

Roof Cleaning for Different Roof Types

Not all roofs are built the same — and they shouldn’t be cleaned the same way either. The best roof cleaning method depends on the type of roof you have, its age, and how delicate the material is. Whether it’s a tiled, slate, flat, or fibre cement roof, using the wrong cleaning approach can lead to costly damage. Below is a quick comparison to help you understand which methods are suitable for different roof types and what to watch out for when choosing how to clean your roof safely and effectively.

FAQ’s

Leicester Roof Cleaning FAQ’s

How long does it take to complete the job?2025-04-30T16:24:47+01:00

Most roof moss removal jobs take between half a day and a full day, depending on the size, pitch, and condition of your roof. We’ll give you a clear time estimate after inspection — no vague promises or dragging jobs out. We turn up when we say we will, get it done efficiently, and leave your property spotless.

Will biocide harm my plants or pets?2025-04-30T16:19:56+01:00

Not when applied professionally. We take precautions to protect surrounding greenery, patios, and wildlife. Our treatments are eco-friendly and applied with care — no careless spraying here.

Can you clean my roof and gutters at the same time?2025-04-30T16:19:25+01:00

Absolutely. In fact, it’s smart to do both together — roof moss often ends up in your gutters. We can inspect, clean, and repair your gutters while we’re up there to save you time and hassle.

Do you offer a guarantee?2025-04-30T16:18:55+01:00

We stand by our work. You’ll get a clear breakdown of what to expect based on your roof type, and we’re always happy to return if anything isn’t right. Our reputation matters — and we protect it by doing things properly.

What happens to the moss you remove?2025-04-30T16:17:55+01:00

We don’t leave a mess behind. All moss is collected, bagged, and taken away — not dumped in your garden or left to clog your drains. We treat your property with respect.

How much does roof cleaning cost?2025-04-30T16:17:19+01:00

It depends on the size, shape, and condition of your roof. But don’t worry — we’ll give you a proper inspection and a clear, honest price. No hidden extras, no pressure.

Will cleaning my roof damage the tiles?2025-04-30T16:15:23+01:00

Not the way we do it. We use tile-friendly tools and low-pressure methods, and we never walk on your roof. That means no cracked tiles, no leaks, and no shortcuts.

What if I just want roof moss removal and not a full clean?2025-04-30T16:14:12+01:00

That’s absolutely fine. Some roofs just need a scrape, others just a treatment. We don’t upsell — we advise. You’ll get a service tailored to your roof, your budget, and your goals. Simple.

How long until moss comes back?2025-04-30T16:13:17+01:00

That depends on your roof, but with a professional biocide treatment, you can expect 2 to 5 years of protection. We’ll inspect your roof and recommend the best approach for long-term results — not just a quick fix.

Can I use a roof moss killer from the shop?2025-04-30T16:12:52+01:00

You can, but don’t expect miracles. Most DIY products are watered down and short-lived. Worse still, many of them contain harsh chemicals that can harm your roof, kill your plants, or stain your driveway if misapplied. Our biocide treatment is professional-grade, environmentally safe, and proven to last — no guesswork needed.

Is roof moss dangerous?2025-04-30T16:11:58+01:00

Yes — and not just because it looks bad. Moss soaks up water like a sponge, forcing it under your tiles and causing damage over time. It also clogs up your gutters, increases the risk of damp, and shortens the life of your roof. The longer you leave it, the more it costs to fix.

How do you clean moss off a roof safely?2025-04-30T16:10:08+01:00

We don’t mess about with risky ladders or dodgy shortcuts. Our team uses specialist telescopic scrapers shaped to match your roof tiles, and low-pressure cleaning for stubborn areas — all done from the roof edge without anyone stepping foot on your tiles. It’s safer, cleaner, and much better for your roof in the long run.

Earlier a week ago, I had my front and back gutters cleaned and he was very thorough in his cleaning. He showed me before and after photos and I was extonished of how much dirt collected. I also had my front and back fascia cleaned today, which was very dirty as I have never clean them before. Also he did all my windows and doors which were dirty too. He delivered a very thorough service. The worker was very polite and efficient with his work. Overall I am very happy with the gutter, fascia, windows and doors cleaning services and would definitely recommend.
