Roof Cleaning Yate

Many of Yate's postwar homes have concrete tiled roofs that have gathered decades of moss and lichen, particularly on north-facing slopes and around the town's green spaces. Roof cleaning in Yate clears that growth away, smartens up the roof and helps it shed water properly.

We have been roofing since 1993. Every roof clean starts with a free survey and a fixed price in writing, carries a ten year guarantee, and there is nothing to pay until the work is finished and you are happy.

How Much Does Roof Cleaning Cost in Yate?

Many Yate homes are similar in size, so roof cleaning jobs are fairly predictable, but the price still depends on the amount of moss and the access.

The main things that affect the price are:

  • The size of the roof
  • The height and pitch of the roof, and the access needed
  • How much moss and growth has built up
  • Whether the roof is tiled or slated
  • Whether the gutters are being cleared as part of the job
  • The volume of moss and debris to take away
  • How long the roof has gone without a clean, which on many postwar homes means a heavier build-up of moss

Every roof clean is priced after a free survey, and you get a clear, fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Roof Moss Removal in Yate

On older Yate roofs, moss can form thick clumps along the lower courses and ridges. We remove it from the tiles and ridges and take the debris away.

Soft Washing

Soft washing then cleans the tiles at low pressure, lifting years of grime and staining from the concrete without a high-pressure jet.

Roof and Gutter Cleaning

Much of the moss from a Yate roof ends up in the gutters, and blocked gutters are common in the town. We clear the gutters and downpipes as part of the job.

Why Moss Is Worth Removing

Moss holds water on the tiles all winter and blocks gutters when it washes down. On older roofs, keeping on top of it helps the roof and gutters work as they should.

Roofers, Not Just Cleaners

Because we are roofers, we look over the tiles, ridges and verges while we are on a Yate roof. If we spot worn ridge mortar or slipped tiles, we will tell you and can put them right.

Roof Cleaning Questions

Anything not covered here, just ask. We would rather answer a question now than have you guess.

01454 803941

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

We clean using soft washing, a low-pressure method, rather than blasting the roof with a high-pressure jet. As roofers, we know how to work on a roof without damaging it, and if we find a tile or slate that is already cracked or loose, we will tell you.

How long will my roof stay clean?

It depends on the roof. Shaded and north-facing slopes, and roofs near trees, tend to grow moss back sooner than roofs in the open. We can talk you through what to expect for your roof at the survey.

Do you clear the gutters as well?

Yes. Moss that comes off the roof ends up in the gutters, so we clear the gutters and downpipes as part of every roof clean.

Do you need scaffolding?

It depends on the height and shape of the roof. Where scaffold is needed, we use our own, so there is no waiting on a hire company.

Do I have to pay anything up front?

No. You get a full written estimate before we start, and you only pay once the job is finished and you are satisfied with it.

What guarantee do I get?

Every job carries a ten year guarantee, which we give you in writing when we sign the work off.

Do you charge for a quote?

No. Surveys and quotes are free and there is no obligation. You get a clear written price before any work starts.

How much does roof cleaning cost?

It depends on the size of the roof, the access and how much moss has built up. The cost section above sets out the main factors, or call us for a free survey and a fixed written price.
