Let’s be honest: there are a lot of companies out there claiming to be experts at cleaning roofs. Some even turn up in a van with a flashy logo, a power washer, and an Instagram feed full of before-and-after shots taken on suspiciously sunny days. But here’s the truth. When it comes to cleaning roofs properly, safely, and professionally, most of them don’t come close.
We’re not the type to stay quiet when there’s something homeowners need to know. So today, we’re telling you exactly what other companies won’t when it comes to cleaning roofs.
Some roof cleaners treat every job like it’s a quick blast with a pressure washer. But that kind of cleaning can cause serious damage. High-pressure washing can crack tiles, wash away protective coatings, and create expensive problems.
We take a completely different approach. At The Roof Cleaning Experts, we assess every roof before starting. We choose the right method depending on the roof’s age, material, and condition. For some homes, that means a gentle soft wash. For others, it may be manual moss removal followed by treatment. Cleaning roofs should always be tailored to the job, not rushed through with one machine.
There’s no official licence required to start cleaning roofs. Anyone with a ladder and a few tools can set themselves up as a roof cleaner. That doesn’t mean they should.
Every one of our team members is fully qualified and trained in safe working at height, ladder safety, manual handling, harness use, tower access, powered access equipment, and first aid. We don’t just promise safety, we deliver it on every single job. Cleaning roofs is a risky task when done by amateurs, and it’s one of the main reasons homeowners come to us instead.
We often hear competitors say they offer “protective coatings” after cleaning roofs. But they don’t tell you what they’re really using. In many cases, these coatings are cheap, over-the-counter products that offer little long-term value.
We’re proud to be one of the few ProPERLA Platinum Approved Applicators in the UK. That means we’re trusted to use ProPERLA’s scientifically proven, breathable, and water-repellent coatings. These are not available to just anyone. Every job must meet strict standards and be photographed for quality control. It’s a level of accountability most companies simply don’t meet.
