Our 5 stage roof cleaning process can be found on our 'Roof Cleaning' page. There is a few ways we can go about cleaning your roof depending on many factors and your desired outcome. 1) Pressure Washing. This is our recommended method for most roofs and gives you the best the results you could ask for. We only recommend pressure washing however if the company you choose knows what they are doing and have the correct professional equipment to do so. If you choose this method we include a 10 Year Guarantee against moss regrowth. 2) Softwashing. Otherwise known as low pressure cleaning, involves spraying a chemical on your roof that will fight to kill the moss, algae and bacteria and usually lasts 3-5 years. This method we usually recommend for listed buildings or for very old, rare tiles. 3) Scraping. The last option we have is to scrape the moss by hand, which won't necessarily give you that 'new roof look' but will certainly solve your moss problems. This method can't be guaranteed but is usually followed up with a softwash so you can expect the reults to last 3-5 years.

In the wrong hands, pressure washing can damage your roof. But with RoofMate, you're in safe hands! Our experienced team conducts a thorough inspection to ensure the correct settings are used, preventing any damage. Trust our reputation and expertise!

Moss - Mosses are small flowerless plants that typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. Algae - Algae is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic. The most common algae you find on your roof is Gloeocapsa Magma which is a photosynthetic cyanobacteria consisting of a small group of algae spores. It is responsible for the black/dark green stains that form on roofs. Lichen - Lichen is a combination of an algae and a fungus. It can be found growing on roofs, pavers, rock walls, grave stones, sidewalks, outdoor cushions and other outdoor surfaces.

Yes, moss can damage your roof. It absorbs moisture and establishes roots, leading to roof degradation, bacteria, and mold growth. This can cause tiles to lift and lead to leaks. Keep your roof moss-free with RoofMate!

We have many accessible methods at our disposal including; scaffold, roof ladders, platforms, harness equipment and may even use a cherry picker on some occasions. However, with all these methods available, we still find ourselves mostly accessing your roof the traditional way, ladders! At RoofMate, access to your roof safely isn't a problem.
