Most people don’t think about roof cleaning in Cheshire until they look up one day and realise the tiles are covered in moss, or a neighbour mentions theirs just had a clean done. By that point, the moss has usually been doing quiet damage for a while.
We provide professional roof cleaning across Cheshire — removing moss, algae and lichen properly, treating the roof to stop it coming straight back, and leaving your tiles looking genuinely restored. Whether it’s a one-off clean, an annual treatment, or part of an ongoing maintenance package, we do the job properly from start to finish.
Why Homeowners Choose Us for Roof Cleaning in Cheshire
There are plenty of people offering to “jet wash your roof” for a quick price. What most homeowners actually want is a proper job done safely, by people who know what they’re doing and won’t damage the tiles in the process. That’s what we do.
Thorough Cleaning
We don’t cut corners. Every roof gets the full process — scraping, treatment and a proper finish, not a quick rinse that looks fine for a fortnight.
Proper Method - Not Just Pressure Washing
High-pressure washing alone can damage tiles and strip protective coatings. We use the right method for your roof, including manual scraping and soft washing where it’s needed.
Safe Access Equipment
We use scaffold towers wherever possible, with roof ladders, harnesses and rope access equipment when needed. This keeps our team off the tiles themselves and your roof protected.
Friendly, Family-Run Service
We’re a local family-run business covering Northwich and the surrounding areas. You’ll deal with the same familiar faces and get honest answers, not a call centre.
Fully Insured & Accredited
We’re fully licensed, trained and insured to use biocide treatments and to erect and operate scaffold towers, so you know the job is being done safely and properly.
Years of Experience, Many Happy Customers
We’ve been doing this for years across Cheshire, and our Google reviews speak for themselves. Ask around and there’s a good chance one of your neighbours has already used us.
What's Included in Our Roof Cleaning Service
Roof cleaning with us isn’t broken up into separate add-ons you have to piece together. It’s one complete service.
We start by removing the moss, algae and lichen from your tiles — manually scraping where the roof needs a gentler approach, or using low-pressure soft washing where it’s suitable. Every roof is different, and we choose the right method based on the tile type and condition rather than using the same approach on every job.
Once the moss is cleared, we treat the roof with a professional biocide treatment. This kills off any remaining organic growth at the root and keeps your roof clean for 6 to 12 months going forward, depending on the location and how shaded your roof is.
As part of the same visit, we clear your gutters and downspouts of any moss and debris that’s come down during the clean — so you’re not left with blocked gutters once we’ve gone. Everything gets tidied up before we leave, including the area around your property.

Moss isn’t just unsightly — it’s a plant, and its roots work into your tiles and any cracks in the mortar, loosening them over time. Moss also holds a significant amount of water, adding weight to your roof that it wasn’t designed to carry. Roof cleaning leaves a smart finish and helps protect the lifespan of your roof.
We manually remove moss using a scaffold tower wherever possible. Where that’s not suitable, we use a roof ladder, harness and rope access equipment for safety. Once the moss is removed, we treat the roof with a biocide treatment that kills organic growth and continues working for 6 to 12 months.
It might seem like it, but pressure washing alone can be damaging. The force of high-pressure water can strip protective coatings and dislodge tiles. Most tile manufacturers actually advise against it. We use proper scraping and treatment methods instead, which are safer and longer lasting.
Moss is more resilient than it looks. Even moss that appears dried out can survive for months without water and bounce back after a single rain shower. If you’re noticing moss starting to look patchy or dry, that’s actually a good time to get it dealt with properly.
Once your roof has been cleaned and treated, it should stay clean for a number of years, depending on your location and how shaded the roof is. We’d recommend getting in touch as soon as you notice the first signs of moss returning — at that point, a treatment alone is often enough rather than needing a full scrape again.
Moss thrives in damp, shaded conditions. Roofs with overhanging trees, north-facing aspects, or limited direct sunlight tend to see moss build up faster, especially where leaves and debris collect and create the perfect environment for it to take hold.
Yes. Soft washing uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and lower pressure water to remove moss, algae and staining without harming the environment. We prioritise this approach where it’s suitable for the roof type.
This depends on the size of your roof, its condition and the access required. Take a look at our roof cleaning cost guide for a clearer idea, or get in touch for a personalised quote.
We clean roofs year-round, but spring is often the ideal window for long-term protection. The weather is typically mild enough for biocide treatments to soak properly into the tile pores without evaporating too quickly, giving a more effective result.
