Let’s be honest-there are people who apply roof coatings, and then there are professional roof coaters like us. The kind who know your home is your most valuable asset and treat it that way. At The Roof Cleaning Experts, we’ve spent over 30 years cleaning and protecting roofs across England and Wales, and one of the most common questions we’re asked is: how long does a roof coating actually last?
The answer isn’t always simple, but today, we’re giving you the facts-no fluff, no sales pitch, and no vague promises. Just the truth about roof coatings, roof maintenance, and why the people applying the product matter just as much as the product itself.
What is a Roof Coating and Why Should You Care?
Roof coatings are a specialist treatment applied to roof tiles after a professional clean. The aim is to protect your roof from the elements, improve water resistance, and discourage moss and algae from returning. It can also give your roof a fresh, clean finish that brightens up your whole home.
But there’s a big difference between a roof coating applied properly by trained roof cleaners and one sprayed on by someone with a hired pressure washer and a YouTube certificate.
That’s why we use ProPERLA, a product that requires certification to apply. Every single project we complete is photo-documented and sent to the manufacturer to ensure their standards are upheld. That level of quality control is rare in our industry-and it’s something we’re proud to be part of.
The Actual Warranty- Straight From ProPERLA
No guesses, no fluff. ProPERLA comes with a 10-year warranty for all colour coatings on roofs and walls, a 10-year warranty for clear coatings on roofs, and a 20-year warranty on clear coatings for walls.
That’s it. That’s the promise. And as a ProPERLA Approved Platinum Applicator, one of only a few in the UK, we apply the product exactly as the manufacturer requires; you can rely on that warranty being valid.
Why Roof Cleaning Makes a Difference
Even with a solid warranty, the application still needs to be done properly. That’s where we come in. Our team isn’t made up of weekend warriors or jack-of-all-trades. We’re fully trained, safety-certified, and we genuinely care about every job we do.
When we’re on site, we protect everything around your home, from the garden to the driveway. And because we’re specialists, not generalists, we understand how to clean and coat without damaging the roof underneath.
We’ve also seen what happens when it’s done wrong-and believe us, it’s not pretty.
