A clean roof will completely transform how your home or property looks.
Most buildings suffer from a steady build-up of moss and everyday debris. But this is more than just unsightly – if you don’t do something about it, roof moss can damage tiles, block gutters, and in turn, this can let in pests. In time, you’ll then get damp walls and possibly a host of other, more expensive problems.
Having your roof cleaned and pressure washed now is likely to save you even more money in the future. Contact Pro Clean to get your roof cleaned in the Manchester area. We’ll use a low-pressure washer to get your roof clean without damaging it.

While you might be able to keep your roof looking presentable by scraping moss by hand and brushing away loose dirt, the moisture in the air means spores grow faster than you probably realise. If these are left to grow, the acid from moss and other environmental contaminants will slowly erode the roof tiles underneath.
As professional roof cleaning specialists, we will clean and protect your roof, using a hot water, low-pressure wash to remove moss, lichen and other debris. We will then apply a biocide treatment to prevent it from growing back quickly. This chemical formulation helps prevent regrowth for up to three years.
Here is more on the methods we use to get great results:
We thoroughly clean your roof tiles and shingles using hot water to wash away dirt, mosses, lichen, and other growths. High-pressure washing can damage some roofs, particularly slate – that’s why we use hot water and low pressure.
Low-pressure washing followed by the soft application of specialist cleaning products is the most effective way to remove biological spores without damaging your fragile roofing materials.
By combining hot water and low pressure, we can achieve the same standard of cleaning with no harm to your roof’s tiles or other parts of the building.
Professional cleaning costs are likely to be far less than the outlay to pay for repairs or replacement if the damage is left untreated. It isn’t just the cost of roof repair either, because if roof moss breaks away, it can block and even crack your guttering, so, you might face the added expense of replacing that too.
As your roof weathers and the material becomes porous, moss may grow, and begin to detract from the overall appearance of your home. What was once a beautiful terracotta colour will quickly become cloaked in shades of dark, dingy lichen and unsightly green moss.
A professional roof clean will wash away these signs of neglect, and you’ll rediscover the pristine roof underneath.
Getting your roof cleaned regularly helps protects it from the effects of our damp air. Moist or damp conditions are ideal for mosses and similar biological spores to thrive.
Moss can secretly cause huge damage to your roof, primarily because it can absorb large amounts of rainwater and hold it against the surface of the roof. Over time this will cause the roof to rot and your roofing material will deteriorate.
Mosses are a haven for certain species of insects and spiders. What appears unsightly to us is their ideal breeding ground, and they will quickly establish a thriving community – one that will soon burrow beneath your roof and into your loft and house.
Not only could you find yourself paying for a roof repair but you might also have to splash out even more for pest control to rid yourself of these miniature fiends.
During colder months, the rainwater accumulated in the moss may freeze. As it begins to thaw, it is likely to cause tiles to crack, pulling the pieces apart and demanding a costly repair. The more moss, the more water and, in turn, the more damage.
We pride ourselves on our proven experience tackling stubborn moss, algae and similar biological spores, and everyday dirt – without causing damage to your tiles or gutters. We will assess the size and accessibility of your roof to determine the right treatment for your home.

Most buildings suffer from a steady build-up of moss and everyday debris. But this is more than just unsightly – if you don’t do something about it, roof moss can damage tiles, block gutters, and in turn, this can let in pests. In time, you’ll then get damp walls and possibly a host of other, more expensive problems.
This can vary depending on what type of roof you have, as well as how much shade it is covered by (biological spores positively thrive in the shade). It is good practice to inspect your roof once a year, before the winter months, to check for damage and, in general, we recommend regular cleaning approximately every two years.
Moss thrives in moist conditions such as the guttering around your roof. If left to get established, it will act like a sponge, absorbing water and keeping your roof constantly wet. This can lead to rot and threaten its structural integrity. Even worse, when moss breaks apart, it can slip into the pipes and block the drainage system, leading to costly repairs. Roof moss removal is a sure-fire way to protect yourself against expensive future repairs. Check out our moss removal services.
Soft washing minimises the pressure of the water, which in turn reduces the likelihood of damage to tiles and shingles. We offer a professional service using chemicals that have been specifically chosen to keep your roof looking its best.
