Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in East Yorkshire

Moss and debris trap water against your tiles, block gutters and can lift or crack tiles over winter freezes. Professional roof cleaning removes moss safely (without high-pressure washing that can damage tiles), clears gutters, and includes an inspection so small faults are caught before they become leaks.

Roof cleaning and moss removal commonly ranges £300–£900 depending on roof size, pitch and access. Gutter clearing can be added. Free fixed quote.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal — frequently asked questions

Does moss damage a roof?

Yes, over time. Moss holds moisture against tiles, can lift the edges, and blocks gutters and valleys so water backs up. Removing it and keeping gutters clear extends the life of the roof.

Do you pressure-wash roofs?

We avoid high-pressure jet-washing on most tiled roofs because it can strip protective surfaces and force water under the tiles. We clean by hand and brush with appropriate treatments instead, which is safer for the roof.

How often should a roof be cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from a check and clean every 2–4 years, and gutters once or twice a year, depending on nearby trees and the amount of growth.
