Product Information

There are many different factors to take into account before you can figure out the costs of having a roof cleaned. Without regular cleaning, you may find that a build-up of organic materials on the roof leads to excess debris. This can clog your gutters and cause other problems. Making the wrong choice may cause disastrous consequences. You could end up paying well over the odds or getting someone who doesn’t know how to do the job properly. The worst-case scenario is they take your money upfront and leave without doing any work.

Hand-scraping is the cheapest fix, but without biocide treatment, the process will need to be repeated sooner. Biocide treatment is more expensive, but the results last for longer. The most significant factor to take into account is, which part of the country do you live? If you live in London, you can expect to pay more because the cost of living is much higher than the rest of the country. Generally, the more populated the city you live in, the more competition there is for tradespeople. Believe it or not, even simple things like car parking can affect the final cost. All costs are taken into account. Specially developed as a SAFE method for professional roof cleaning, the patented Airpole® Roof Cleaning System is capable of cleaning roof surfaces to a superb standard, without the operator going on the roof. Every roof is different in size. What type of roof tiles are on the roof? How much moss, lichen, and dirt have accumulated on the roof over the years? Some roofs have difficult access making it more difficult to complete the job. There is a reason why you don’t often see people getting their ladders out and get up on their roof start cleaning it. For the majority of people, working at heights is quite scary and do not feel safe doing so.If it sounds too good, it usually is. I am referring to the quotation for cleaning your roof. Low quotes are the rogue trader’s way of getting work. You have read examples above about how much you can expect to pay dependent upon which part of the country you live in. If you get quotes that are way below the average cost of roof cleaning, then I would be on my guard. Soft cleaning your roof could be an alternative to steam cleaning if you are concerned about the potential damage to your tiles that the added heat from the steam may cause.

The best technique for cleaning your roof is to scrape off any moss or debris using a roof scraper or wire brush. Once the surface is clear, a softwashing chemical should be applied to kill any remaining moss or algae. Softwashing is a low-pressure washing method that uses a chemical solution to clean and kill moss and other organic matter. One of the best selling softwash roof treatment products on the market is Soft Wash Pro 50. This product is specially formulated to kill moss and algae on roofs and other surfaces. If you are looking for a spray and forget product and you don’t want instant results then this is for you. Another option for environmentally conscious homeowners is a product called Safewash. This product is super environmentally safe and is designed to clean roofs without damaging the environment or harming wildlife.

Roofs can be cleaned in all but the harshest weather conditions. It is always advisable to avoid windy days and for best results apply the products when the tiles and green growth are relatively dry. This will ensure the products are absorbed into the roots of the green growth and the cleaner soaks into the tiles. Temperatures between around 8 – 20°C are ideal. There is a risk of the products evaporating before they have had a chance to work properly if applied when the weather is too warm! Safety First

If you are soft washing with sodium hypochlorite occasionally you will apply the soft wash recipe on to an area of the roof where there is lead flashing. Cleaning your roof and removing moss is essential for preserving the longevity and appearance of your property. Moss and debris buildup can cause damage to your roof tiles, retain moisture, and impact the curb appeal of your home. The best technique for cleaning your roof is to scrape off any moss or debris and then apply a softwashing chemical such as Soft Wash Pro 50 or Safewash. A moss-covered roof can detract from the appearance of your home but when left untreated, it can also cause other problems such as damage to roof tiles or retention of excess water. How much does roof cleaning cost? Regardless of the material, it is constructed from, one of the most important parts of any property is the roof. It is essential that the roof and its tiles remain in good condition and protected from potential leaks. Commercial and residential properties’ roofs are constructed from a wide range of materials. These include concrete tiles, slate, clay, terracotta and various types of sheeting. All of these materials provide different challenges in terms of keeping them clean and attractive. Formulated With DIY Customers In Mind Soft washing is a type of roof cleaning that uses less pressure than pressure washing whilst still applying treatments that can kill any moss and algae.

Ask neighbours, friends, and family if they know anyone who has had their roofs cleaned recently. They will be hard to spot; they will be the ones who look like they have a brand-new roof installed. Ask if they can recommend anyone who they have dealt with personally and were happy with the service. A large roofing company that has ten employees or more will have higher costs than a small to medium-sized company. Larger companies have higher overheads to pay. The Patented Airpole ® Roof Cleaning System uses compressed air to clear and clean the moss and debris off roofs and then applies a variety of treatment chemicals – including ‘softwash’ chemicals where required – sanitising the roof surface and transforming the appearance of the property. When using our green growth remover the best method is to first dilute the product. Then apply to the tiles and leave nature and time to do the rest. This technique might take a few months but eventually, all the green growth will die off and organically break down. During the process, it is advisable to ‘box off’ the downpipes on the roof with gutter plugs. This stops the dead green growth from washing into the downpipes. The dead green growth can periodically be simply removed from the gutters with the gutter plugs in place.
