Thorough roof cleaning, great results, every time.
Professional roof cleaning across East Kent — moss removal, low-pressure washing and biocide treatment to restore, protect and extend the life of your roof tiles.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Complete roof cleaning for any roof.
Moss, lichen and algae build up on roof tiles over time — blocking drainage channels, retaining moisture and accelerating tile degradation through thawing and freezing. Left untouched, organic growth can significantly shorten the lifespan of a roof and create ongoing maintenance issues.
We offer two methods of roof cleaning — moss scraping with specialist roof cleaning tools, and low-pressure jet washing — as well as biocide treatment using Algoclear Pro to kill off remaining organic growth and keep the roof cleaner for longer, mainly used with the scraping method. The right method depends on the condition of your roof and the finish you want to achieve.
We cover domestic and commercial properties across Thanet, Canterbury, Dover and the Herne Bay area.
HOW WE CLEAN
Two choices of method, one outstanding result,
Moss scraping & softwashing
Using specialist extendable poles with roof cleaning attachments, roof ladders, and various scraping and brushing tools, we manually remove moss, lichen, and debris from the tile surface. This is carried out safely from the gutter line, on the roof via a roof ladder where required, or from scaffold access. We then evenly apply a biocide chemical to the roof, eliminating the remaining organic growths too stubborn to be removed via the scraping, using a chemical pump kit and water-fed brush heads to ensure the spray is kept contained and on the roof.
This method is ideal for roofs where tile condition needs to be preserved, or where the customer prefers a less abrasive approach to the cleaning, with the alternative being low-pressure jet washing. Tiles are cleared of all surface growth in a single visit, with the softwash finish ensuring that, over time, the remaining tiny bits of organic growth and dirt are weathered away by the wind and rain.
Low-pressure jet washing
Using our commercial-grade jet washer with the pressure lowered, we deploy extendable poles with turbo nozzles and small flat surface cleaner attachments specially created for roof cleaning. We do this by standing near the gutter line on scaffolding, scaffold towers, or high-access equipment such as cherry pickers to not only get closer to the roof for operable ability, but to also ensure operatives are safe throughout the cleaning. We wash away ingrained dirt, algae, and moss across the full tile surface to remove frustrating falling moss and bring back an aesthetic closer to when the tile was laid.
Low pressure is critical on roof tiles; high-pressure washing can dislodge pointing, damage tile surfaces, and force water beneath tiles. Our controlled approach delivers a thorough clean without any risk to the structure of your roof.
WHY SPHERE
What to expect when you work with us.
Advice on the right method for your roof
Not every roof needs the same approach. We assess the tile type, condition, access, and level of growth before recommending whether scraping, low-pressure washing, biocide treatment or a combination is most appropriate for your property.
Careful with pressure and equipment
We never use high-pressure washing on roof tiles. High pressure dislodges pointing, forces water under tiles and can crack or chip tile surfaces. Our low-pressure method delivers a thorough clean without any structural risk.
Safe access, no unnecessary risks taken
Using extendable poles with specialist attachments, we can clean many roofs entirely from the gutter line without anyone setting foot on the roof. Where scaffold or MEWP access is needed, we arrange and manage this as part of the job to keep us and your property safe.
Complete coverage of softwash as a post clean treatment
A professional grade treatment can be added to any clean. It extends the life of the clean, kills remaining spores and keeps the roof healthier between scheduled maintenance.
