Roof Cleaning
Roof Cleaning
Roof tile moss removal, specialist soft washing and professional biocide treatments that help prevent organic regrowth.
Moss, algae and lichen can gradually build up on roof tiles, leaving your property looking tired. At Lightning Clean, we choose a cleaning method that suits your roof and its condition, removing organic growth and treating the surface to help keep it cleaner for longer.
A cleaning method suited to your roof
Every roof is different. Depending on the project, we may carry out manual moss removal, low-pressure DOFF-style steam cleaning, or specialist soft washing to remove moss, algae and lichen. All roof cleaning services are finished with a professional biocide treatment to inhibit regrowth.
Estimates and our roof treatment promise
Request a free, no-obligation estimate. Roof cleaning prices are confirmed after a site visit and before booking, so we can assess the tiles, access and condition of your roof.
Our one-year moss-free roof promise covers the roof areas included in the original moss-removal and biocide treatment: if treated moss returns within one year, we will re-treat the affected area free.
Completing your roofline? We can also clean fascias and soffits, and a conservatory roof can be added on to the same project.
Helpful answers
Roof Cleaning FAQs
Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?
Lightning Clean chooses the cleaning method to suit the roof and its condition rather than using one approach everywhere. Depending on the project, the team may use manual moss removal, low-pressure DOFF-style steam cleaning or specialist soft washing, followed by biocide. Request a free estimate so your particular roof can be assessed.
How do you remove moss from a roof?
The method depends on the roof surface and its condition. Lightning Clean may use manual moss removal, low-pressure DOFF-style steam cleaning or a specialist soft wash to remove moss, algae and lichen. Roof cleans are then finished with a professional biocide treatment to inhibit organic regrowth and maintain the result for longer.
What does the roof biocide treatment do?
After roof cleaning, a professional biocide treatment targets remaining organic growth and spores. It helps inhibit moss, algae and lichen regrowth and maintain a cleaner roof for longer. It forms part of the service rather than a cosmetic coating.
How is roof cleaning priced?
