Free to use
There is no charge to you and no obligation. Specialists may pay us a fee.
Ask about the method
Ask how they will clean and treat your roof, and get the quote in writing.
Why roof cleaning is worth considering
Typical cost: published UK cost guides put roof cleaning at roughly £8.50 to £14 per square metre, or about £375 to £1,125 for an average semi-detached house depending on the method. Prices in York may differ. Typical ranges, last reviewed September 2026.
Keeps moisture off tiles
Thick moss holds water against tiles and, as it grows, can lift them and let rain get underneath.
Keeps gutters flowing
Moss washed off the roof collects in gutters and downpipes. Clearing both at once helps stop overflows and damp walls.
A chance to spot damage
Once the moss is gone, slipped or cracked tiles and worn ridge mortar are easier to see and put right.
The right method matters
High-pressure washing can damage some tiles and force water under them. Ask how your roof will be cleaned before you agree.
