Roof Cleaning
Professional soft-wash roof cleaning to remove moss, lichen, and algae from tile and slate roofs — with biocidal treatment to slow re-growth.
About Our Roof Cleaning Service
Roof moss, lichen, and algae are more than a cosmetic problem — organic growth retains moisture against roof tiles and slates, accelerating their deterioration and reducing the effective lifespan of the roof. Oakleys Exterior Cleaning offers professional soft-wash roof cleaning that removes existing organic growth and applies a biocidal treatment to prevent rapid re-growth. We use low-pressure soft-wash methods rather than high-pressure blasting, which can dislodge ridge tiles, break fragile tile edges, and force water under the tile course. Before any roof cleaning, we carry out a visual inspection from ground level and advise on what we can treat and what may need a roofer's attention first. We cover pitched roofs on residential properties across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, and we work at height safely and professionally. Our post-clean biocidal treatment means that moss and algae take significantly longer to return compared to a pressure wash alone, giving the roof a longer-lasting result. Contact us to arrange a free, no-obligation assessment and quote.

Roof Cleaning — Frequently Asked Questions
Roof cleaning does not typically require scaffold — we work from ground level using telescopic and extension equipment. If a roof requires access at height, we advise on the appropriate arrangement before the work begins.
The biocidal treatment kills moss and organic growth, but the dead material may not fall away immediately — it typically disperses over the following weeks through rainfall and weathering. The visible green colouration improves significantly from the day of the clean.
