ROOF CLEANING SERVICES
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your property — but also one of the most exposed. Over time, moss, algae, lichen and general debris can build up, causing your roof to look tired and potentially leading to long‑term damage if left untreated. At Nexa Property Services, we provide safe, effective roof cleaning solutions designed to restore appearance, protect your tiles and prolong the life of your roof.
WHY ROOF CLEANING IS IMPORTANT
Preventing damage
Moss and lichen hold moisture. When this moisture freezes, it expands and can cause tiles to crack or lift. Removing organic growth helps prevent avoidable damage.
Improving water flow
Blocked channels and raised tiles can disrupt the natural flow of rainwater, increasing the risk of leaks, damp patches and gutter blockages.
Extending roof lifespan
A clean roof is a healthier roof. Regular maintenance helps protect tiles, pointing and surrounding structures from premature wear.
Enhancing kerb appeal
A freshly cleaned roof can dramatically improve the appearance of your home or business, making it look brighter, cleaner and better maintained.
Supporting property value
Buyers and surveyors notice roof condition immediately. A well‑maintained roof reflects positively on the overall care of the property.
OUR ROOF CLEANING METHODS
Different roofs require different approaches. We assess your roof carefully and choose the safest, most effective method for your property.
Moss Removal(Scrape Method)
- This is the most common and safest way to remove heavy moss growth.
- Carried out using specialist scraping tools
- No harsh pressure applied
- Ideal for older or more delicate tiles
- Removes the bulk of moss before further treatment
This method prepares the roof for biocide treatment, ensuring long‑lasting results..
Soft Wash Treatment
- Soft washing uses low‑pressure application of cleaning solutions to break down organic growth.
- Gentle on tiles
- Effective against algae, lichen and staining
- Ideal for roofs with light to moderate growth
- Often combined with biocide for maximum longevity
Soft washing restores colour and appearance without the risks associated with high‑pressure cleaning.
Low‑Pressure Washing
- Used only where appropriate and safe for the tile type.
- Removes stubborn dirt and debris
- Suitable for strong, modern roof tiles
- Always followed by biocide to prevent regrowth
WHY WE APPLY BIOCIDE AFTER CLEANING
Biocide treatment is essential for long‑lasting results. While scraping or washing removes visible moss and algae, microscopic spores remain. Without treatment, these spores quickly regrow.
Biocide:
- Kills remaining moss, algae and lichen at the root
- Prevents regrowth for 12–36 months
- Keeps your roof cleaner for longer
- Helps maintain the roof’s appearance and condition
This final step ensures your roof stays cleaner, safer and better protected.
