Questions we get asked

How much does tile roof cleaning cost?

€5–€12 per m² for a light clean and €12–€28 per m² for a soft wash with a moss treatment. By house: €300–€1,200 for a terrace or small semi, €400–€1,800 for a 3-bed semi, €450–€3,000+ for a detached house.

Can concrete roof tiles be pressure washed?

They shouldn't be. High pressure strips the protective surface off concrete tiles and forces water under them.

Is a tiled roof cheaper to clean than slate?

Usually, as long as the tiles are sound. Natural slate is fragile and slower, so it costs more.

Can the roof be cleaned around solar panels?

Usually, yes. Say so in the form: the company works around the panels and their fixings and prices it from photos or a visit.
