Protect your roof from moss damage with our roof cleaning Liverpool service. We safely scrape away moss and algae by hand, then apply a biocide treatment that stops it coming back for years. No pressure washing, no risk of leaks, just the right way to do it.
Moss on your roof isn’t just unsightly, it lifts tiles, traps moisture and can cause costly damage over time. We use a safe manual scraping method followed by a biocide treatment that stops the moss coming back for years.
We don’t use high-pressure water on your roof tiles. That can force water under the slates and cause leaks. We do it the right way, gentle, thorough and built to last.
Thick moss growing across your tiles, green algae streaking down your walls, blocked gutters full of moss debris, and tiles that look like they’ve not been touched in decades. Sound familiar? Liverpool’s damp weather is a magnet for moss growth, and the longer it’s left, the more damage it does.
We scrape the moss off properly, clean the tiles and apply a treatment that keeps it clear. Your roof will look better and last longer for it.
Moss holds moisture against your tiles. Over time that leads to cracked slates, damp in your loft and expensive repairs. We remove the moss before it can do any real harm.
A roof covered in moss looks tired and neglected. Once it’s cleaned off, your tiles look their proper colour again, and your whole house looks better from the street.
When moss grows on your roof, bits of it end up in your gutters. Blocked gutters mean water damage. We clear the moss off your roof and your gutters stay flowing free.
We don’t just scrape the moss off and leave. Our biocide treatment soaks into the tiles and stops the moss growing back. Most roofs stay clear for years after one treatment.
We don’t jet wash roofs. Pointing a pressure washer at your tiles forces water up under the slates and can cause leaks. Instead, we use manual scraping tools to carefully remove the moss by hand, then apply a biocide treatment that kills the remaining spores and stops regrowth.
It’s a slower process than blasting it with water, but it’s the right way to do it. Your roof stays watertight and the results last much longer.
We price by the size of your roof rather than a flat rate, since that’s what determines how long the job takes. Here’s a rough guide, but the exact figure always depends on the pitch, the number of storeys and how thick the moss growth is.
| Roof size | What’s included | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Manual moss scrape, biocide treatment, gutters cleared of debris | from £200 |
| Medium | Manual moss scrape, biocide treatment, gutters cleared of debris | from £300 |
| Large | Manual moss scrape, biocide treatment, gutters cleared of debris | from £400 |
These are starting prices for a standard treatment. A steep pitch, hard-to-access roofs or particularly thick, established moss can push the price toward the top of each range, we’ll always be upfront about that before we start. The easiest way to get an exact figure is to send us a couple of photos on WhatsApp, we’ll usually get a firm price back to you within about 10 minutes.
We have a proper look at your roof from ground level and from a ladder where safe. We check the type of tiles, how thick the moss is, and whether any tiles are loose or damaged.
Using hand tools, we carefully scrape the moss and lichen off your tiles, working section by section, making sure we don’t damage any slates or let debris fall into your gutters.
Once the moss is off, we spray a professional-grade biocide across the roof. This soaks into the tiles and kills any remaining spores, stopping the moss growing back for years.
We clear any debris from your gutters and tidy up around your property. Your roof is clean, treated and protected for the long term.
Every 3 to 5 years is about right for most Liverpool roofs. The biocide treatment keeps the moss at bay for years. If your roof is in heavy shade or near trees, you might need it doing a bit sooner.
We’re a family-run Liverpool business, trading since 2018, with over 200 properties restored and a 5.0 rating. We know the area, the weather and the right way to clean a roof without causing damage. No call centres, no hard sell, just honest, reliable work.
Fully insured, we turn up when we say we will and we don’t leave till you’re happy. Whether it’s a one-off clean or regular maintenance, we’ll look after it properly.
Keep an eye on your roof after storms. If you see moss building up, get it sorted before it spreads. Trim back overhanging branches to reduce shade and leaf debris. And never jet wash your roof yourself, it’s not worth the risk of leaks. If your fascias have picked up green streaks from roof run-off, our fascia cleaning sorts that at the same time.
Our roof cleaning starts from £200. The price depends on the size of your roof, the pitch, and the severity of the moss and algae growth. A small roof with a moderate covering of moss is usually covered by our starting price, larger detached properties or roofs with heavy, thick moss cost more. The price includes a full manual scrape to remove the bulk of the moss, a soft-wash biocide treatment to kill the spores, and a gentle rinse. We never use high-pressure jetting on a roof, as that can force water under the tiles and cause leaks.
Usually a same-day quote. Send us a photo of your roof showing the moss growth and we can usually give you a price within about 10 minutes. Roof moss isn’t just an eyesore, it can lift tiles and cause damp issues inside the home, so once you’ve spotted the problem, you’ll want it sorted fast. Being local to Liverpool, Wirral and Sefton means we can often pop out the same day if the photos aren’t clear enough.
It protects the structural integrity of your roof. Moss acts like a sponge, soaking up rainwater and holding it against your tiles. In winter, that water freezes and expands, which can crack tiles and lift them out of place, creating gaps for water to get under the tiles and into your roof space. That leads to damp ceilings, rotten timbers and expensive repairs. Moss also blocks your gutters when it washes off, causing overflow and water damage to your fascias and walls. Professional removal and treatment stop that cycle.
Soft washing is the only safe method for cleaning a roof. Pressure washing forces water at high speed under the tiles, lifting them and damaging the felt underneath, which almost always leads to leaks inside the home. Soft washing uses a low-pressure spray to apply biocide that kills the moss, algae and lichen at the root. The moss then dries out and naturally falls off over the following weeks. We never use a pressure washer on a roof, and our biocide is safe for surrounding plants, pets and wildlife.
Usually 3 to 5 years. The biocide treatment kills the existing moss and algae and leaves a residual layer that stops new spores germinating. Over time, sun and rain break the treatment down, but it typically lasts several years. We’d recommend a maintenance treatment every 3 years to keep the moss away permanently, and you’ll notice your gutters stay clear of moss debris for longer too.
