Roof Cleaning in Canterbury

Most pitched roofs in the Canterbury area benefit from cleaning every few years rather than annually — the right interval depends on how shaded and tree-surrounded the property is. Homes in villages like Wye, Chartham and Bridge, where mature trees and damp valley conditions encourage moss, tend to need attention sooner than open, exposed properties. We are happy to take a look and advise on the right timing for your roof.

We physically remove moss and lichen by hand, then apply a biocide treatment to slow regrowth. We do not blast tiles with high-pressure jet washers as a matter of course — aggressive pressure washing can strip the protective coating off concrete tiles and force water under them. Hand removal with a careful biocide treatment is gentler on the roof and gives a longer-lasting result.

Carried out properly, no. We work methodically and avoid the heavy-handed pressure washing that can crack or erode older tiles. We are health and safety trained, fully insured, and have over 10 years' experience working at height across Kent, so the work is done carefully and safely.

Yes — gutter clearance is always included after any roof cleaning. Removing moss inevitably sends debris down into the gutters, so we clear the gutters and flush the downpipes once the roof work is finished, leaving the whole rainwater system flowing freely.

Yes — as well as Canterbury itself we cover Wye, Chartham, Bridge, Sturry, Harbledown, Littlebourne and the surrounding villages. Call us on /contact/ to confirm we cover your postcode.

Roof cleaning is priced per property because roof size, pitch, the amount of moss and access all vary. For a free, no-obligation quote send us a message and we will give you a price based on your roof.
