We’re compliance-led: phased plans agreed in advance, COSHH-assessed biocides, run-off control with drain protection/interceptor checks, and clear signage. Gutter & downpipe clearing can be included, with photo reports. Optional maintenance programmes keep roofs, rooflights and gutters in spec year-round.

Roofs We Clean

We clean most commercial roof systems and components:

  • Coated metal cladding & profiled steel (Plastisol/PVDF)
  • Single-ply membranes (EPDM, TPO, PVC)
  • Felt/bitumen & built-up systems
  • Fibre-cement & composite panels
  • Rooflights, gutters, outlets & downpipes
  • Around solar PV frames and fixings

Typical issues include moss, lichen and algae, atmospheric soiling, rust streaks, bird fouling and standing-water staining. We survey each roof, agree phased works and use manufacturer-friendly methods. If you’re preparing for roof coating, we can deep-clean and degrease to improve adhesion.

How We Clean Roofs (Safely)

We combine targeted pre-treatments with low-pressure rinsing and steam/DOFF where appropriate, starting with a test area to confirm the approach.

  • Soft-wash/biocidal pre-treatments for organic growth
  • Low-pressure rinse to protect seams, laps & coatings
  • Steam/DOFF for stubborn staining and bird fouling
  • Manual detailing around fixings, rooflights & flashings
  • Gutter & downpipe clearing with debris removal
  • Wastewater control; bunding, drain covers & interceptor compliance

On live sites we phase works, manage pedestrian/vehicle routes and cordon work zones. Access is via MEWPs or approved systems (IPAF-competent), with fall-arrest, rooflight protection and weather/wind monitoring. Our RAMS cover COSHH, working at height and public safety; before/after photos supplied.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Coated metal cladding, profiled steel, single-ply membranes (EPDM/TPO/PVC), felt/bitumen and fibre-cement. Methods are tailored after a site assessment and test patch.

Soft-wash/biocidal pre-treatments, low-pressure rinsing and steam/DOFF where suitable. High-pressure washing is avoided on vulnerable membranes to protect seams, fixings and coatings.

Full RAMS provided. Access via MEWPs or approved systems with fall-arrest, rooflight protection and exclusion zones as required, following UK regulations and site permits.

Yes—gutter and downpipe clearing can be included, with before/after photos. This supports drainage performance following the roof clean.

Yes—evening, night and weekend availability to minimise disruption. Works can be phased so operations continue safely.

We use eco-conscious detergents and implement run-off controls. Where required we contain, capture or divert wastewater to approved points (e.g., interceptors), per site rules.

Timings depend on roof size, access, soiling and weather. Smaller units may complete in a single shift; large warehouses are usually phased over multiple visits.
