Roof Jet Washing

Professional roof jet washing removes moss completely, including the root systems that promote rapid regrowth. Post-cleaning biocidal treatment kills residual spores and root fragments within tile surfaces, significantly extending the period before moss reappears. This comprehensive approach delivers longer-lasting results than surface-level moss removal alone.

Lichen removal addresses the tenacious organisms that bond so aggressively to roof surfaces that rainfall alone never dislodges them. Lichen colonies create dark patches and irregular discolouration across roof surfaces throughout the North East. While lichen causes less structural damage than moss, its appearance significantly affects property aesthetics and perceived condition.

Pressure control during roof jet washing is critical for preventing tile damage. Concrete tiles, clay tiles, slate, and fibre-cement products each have different pressure tolerances. Professional operators assess roof covering type and condition before selecting appropriate pressure levels and nozzle configurations that clean effectively without causing surface erosion, cracking, or displacement.

Ridge tile and hip maintenance during roof cleaning addresses the mortar bedding and pointing that secures these exposed elements. Moss growth on ridge lines obscures deteriorating mortar, concealing defects that can lead to tile displacement during storms. Professional cleaning reveals ridge condition, allowing timely re-bedding and pointing before failures occur.

Valley and gutter cleaning forms an essential companion service to roof jet washing. Valleys channel significant volumes of water during rainfall and must remain clear to function safely. Gutters collect debris washed from roof surfaces during cleaning and require thorough clearing. Professional operators clean all drainage components as part of comprehensive roof maintenance.
