Roof cleaning in Brighton: moss off, gutters cleared, tiles protected

Roof cleaning in Brighton and Hove, with the moss taken off, broken tiles replaced and the gutters cleared in the same visit. Ring 01273 110448 or send the form for a free written quote.

Moss holds water against the tiles like a sponge. In winter that water freezes and cracks them, and in spring the moss washes into the gutters and blocks them. A roof covered in it ages fast.

We remove moss and lichen by hand and with soft brushing, which does not damage the tile surface. We replace any broken tiles we find, clear the gutters and downpipes of everything that falls, and apply a biocide so the moss does not come straight back. A protective coating is available on suitable tiles.

Mehmet's review sums up the job: cleaned the roof, removed all the moss and repaired some broken tiles. Terry had a complete roof clean with his leak and gutter repairs.

Roof cleaning and moss removal: your questions answered

How much does roof cleaning cost?

Moss removal and gutter clearing on a typical semi runs from about £450 to £900. A coating adds to that. We quote after a look.

Do you pressure wash roofs?

No. High pressure can damage tiles and force water under them. We clean by hand and soft brush.

How long does it last?

With a biocide treatment, the roof stays clear for several years.

Do you replace broken tiles?

Yes, in the same visit.
