Choosing the perfect professional

How much does a Roof Cleaner cost?

The average cost of a roof cleaner varies depending on location. If you live in London, expect prices to be higher than in the North or the Midlands.

Your professional roof cleaner will be able to advise you on the full range of options available and the most suitable choice based on your requirements. Use Bark to get in touch with local roof cleaning specialists today, and get quotes for free!

How long will it take to clean my roof?

This depends on the size and condition of your roof. If there’s a big moss build-up, it will take longer to repair than light damage. The length of time will also depend on the ease of access to the roof. If it can be cleaned on the ground by the use of extendable poles, it will be quicker than if you have to hire a cherry picker to reach your roof. It should take between one to three days to clean your roof and clean up afterwards.

One of the most time-consuming aspects of roof cleaning is the cleaning up afterwards. Not only will the mossy build-up and algae need to be disposed of, but cleaning a roof with biocide and bleach needs to be handled carefully in order to avoid causing pollution.

What results can I expect from Roof Cleaning?

Cleaning your roof improves the whole appearance of your property. Once your roof is free of moss and lichen it will instantly make your home look clean, tidy, and in good condition.

Consequently, the most important aspect of roof cleaning is usually cosmetic. Whether you are considering selling your property or just want to improve the look of your home, cleaning your roof is worth the investment as it adds value to your property.

Once your roof is cleaned and treated, it should look like new. Roof tiles will be bright and back to their original colour. Cleaning instantly revitalises the appearance of your home, so whatever the age of your property, you will be pleased by the finished effect.

How often should I get my roof cleaned?

It is a good idea to get your roof professionally cleaned once a year. This makes it easier to catch problems early on if they develop. If you have a roof that is in good shape or was just recently installed, then you may only need your roof cleaned once every two years or so.

What is the best time of year to hire a Roof Cleaner?

The summer is undoubtedly the best time of year to get your roof cleaned. The dry weather makes a much safer environment for professionals to work with. Less rain also means a quicker turnaround time.

How do I check my Roof Cleaning Specialist’s credentials?

There is no formal training required to be a roof cleaner, although look for individuals who have completed training courses at Smartseal and the Roof Cleaning Institute.

Before you sign on the dotted line, read a professional’s customer reviews on their website and Bark profile, to ensure that they are trustworthy and reliable.

What are the different methods of Roof Cleaning?

There are several types of roof cleaning. These include:

  • High-pressure jet washing - High-pressure jet washing involves roof cleaning specialists using industrial-grade jet wash equipment to blast off dirt, grime, and any sort of caked-on debris. This type of roof cleaning is great for moss and algae removal. After the washing process, the roof is treated with a fungicidal wash that helps prevent the build-up and return of fungus.
  • Low-pressure jet washing - The low-pressure jet washing removes moss and algae and leaves your roof looking clean and free from debris. Soft wash treatments kill spores and treat embedded fungal growth that can be problematic to remove. Soft wash treatments are often better for roofs that cannot handle as intense treatment as high-pressure jet washes. As with the high-pressure wash, the roof will be treated afterwards with a fungicide to prevent build-ups.
  • Manual roof cleaning - This manual process involves cleaning, sanitising, and eliminating dirt, grime, and fungus. All foreign bodies, moss, lichens, snails, and bird mess are also dealt with. After the roof cleaning process has finished, the roof is treated with an anti-fungal wash to prevent further fungal problems.

What are the main reasons for hiring Roof Cleaning Specialists?

  • Safety - Safety is by far the biggest reason to hire roof cleaning services rather than doing it yourself. Working on roofs, whether it is installing them in the first place or cleaning them, is an extremely risky business. Professional roof cleaning might be more expensive than doing it yourself but it is more than worth the extra cost for your personal safety.
  • Experience - Professional roof cleaning services have lots of experience and are highly trained in how to tackle different types of roofs. They know the tips and tricks to leave your roof looking good as new!
  • Tools - A bucket and sponge are never going to work when cleaning a roof. Roof cleaning specialists have high-grade tools that allow them to get consistently great results whilst still working quickly.


You can be confident that any of the local roof cleaners listed on Bark will give you a reliable and professional service.

William was extremely professional and responded to our request for roof repair very quickly. He was then able to arrange the repairs for two days later, including sourcing the necessary tiles for our listed property. William and his apprentice worked quickly and efficiently, and the repair is seamless. I would definitely recommend this company. Many thanks.

I recently had Next level roofing and landscaping install a fibreglass flat roof on my garage, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The team was punctual, professional, and very friendly. They worked efficiently and left the area spotless when they finished. The quality of the materials they used was excellent, and I feel confident that my roof will last for many years. I highly recommend!!!
