Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a Roof Clean and a Roof Treatment?
They do slightly different jobs, so picking the right one matters. Our team are happy to explain what suits your roof best, and why.
A Roof Clean gives you quick visual impact. Using our low pressure system, we lift off the surface dirt and built up grime straight away. It’s the right call if you’re getting ready to paint or you just want the roof looking sharp, instantly.
A Roof Treatment is more about long term protection and lasting results. The treatment targets moss, mould, and lichen at the roots. It reactivates with rain, so the weather slowly does the work over the following months. That ongoing action helps protect the roof and can extend its life, which is why treatments are often the best option for older roofs.
How long does a Roof Treatment take to show results?
Roof treatments are designed to work gently, not instantly. You’ll see changes over time rather than overnight. The timing depends on how heavy the growth is, the season, how much rain we’re getting, and your location. Most roofs start to look noticeably cleaner over several months, then stay cleaner for longer. When you ask for a free quote, we’ll give you a rough time frame based on your place.
Will roof cleaning damage my roof? It’s quite old and I’m a bit concerned.
Totally fair concern. We understand that roof repairs are expensive, which is exactly why we don’t use aggressive water blasting. We match our methods and products to your roof’s age and material, with preservation as the goal. If we spot any weak points or repairs to consider before we start, we’ll let you know upfront. Our focus is a safe clean that protects what you’ve already got.
Can you clean the gutters at the same time?
Yes. While we’re up there, we can clear the gutters too if you like. Blocked gutters cause overflow, leaks, and sometimes ceiling damage inside. Bundling the two jobs often makes sense. Tell us when you request your free quote and we’ll price it in as an option.
Is roof cleaning worth the cost?
Many homeowners we speak to think so, especially those who book a clean every year or two. A roof that’s kept clean and treated properly tends to last longer and look far better. It can also help you avoid big repair bills later. In short, it’s preventative maintenance that often saves money and stress. Quotes are free, clear, and no obligation too, so you can see the numbers before you decide.
