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.
