Roof Treatment — Moss Removal & Biocide
Over time, roof tiles can gather moss, lichen and biological growth that affect how your home looks. We assess each roof and use a suitable treatment approach to help restore its appearance.
Suitable surfaces
- Concrete and clay tiles
- Slate roofs
- Flat roof coverings
Roof cleaning costs — what affects the price
Roof cleaning and moss removal costs in the UK typically range from a few hundred pounds for a small terraced property to well over a thousand pounds for larger detached homes with heavy moss growth. Every roof is different, so we always quote after an on-site assessment — the guidance below explains the main factors that shape the price.
Roof size and pitch
Larger roofs and steeper pitches take longer to work on safely and need more access equipment, which affects the overall cost.
Roof material
Concrete tiles, clay tiles, slate and flat roof coverings each need slightly different methods, and some materials take longer to clean carefully.
Level of moss and lichen
A light biocide treatment on a roof with mild growth costs less than a full scrape and treatment on a roof heavily covered in moss.
Access and location
Tight access, extra scaffolding or high-level areas add to the time and equipment required, so those roofs sit at the higher end of the range.
Cleaning method
A soft-wash biocide treatment is generally the most cost-effective approach. Manual moss removal followed by treatment costs more but gives a faster visible improvement.
