MCAD Roof Cleaning Services That Save You Thousands

The cost of roof cleaning in Reading depends on the size of the roof, its pitch, access, and how much moss or lichen has built up. Every roof is different, so we offer a free, no-obligation assessment and a clear quote before any work starts.

Yes. Moss holds moisture against your tiles, which can lead to cracked or crumbling tiles, blocked gutters and damp. Cleaning costs far less than repairing that damage, and it makes your home look better. Regular cleaning helps your roof last longer.

Yes. Moss soaks up water and keeps it against the tile surface. In freezing weather that moisture expands and can crack or flake tiles. Moss also washes down into gutters, downpipes and soakaways, causing blockages, overflow and water damage.

It depends on how shaded the roof is, nearby trees and the roof material. Shaded and north-facing roofs grow moss faster. We can inspect your roof and recommend a sensible cleaning schedule for your property.

Remove it. Left alone, moss spreads and holds more moisture against your tiles. Removing it early is cheaper and gentler on the roof. Moss should be treated and removed safely rather than scraped off dry, as scraping can damage the tile surface.

It can be. High-pressure water can strip the protective surface of concrete and clay tiles and force water underneath them. The cleaning method should be chosen to suit your roof type, which is why we assess your roof first.

The time depends on the size of the roof, access and the amount of moss growth. We confirm the expected duration when we give you your quote, so you know what to expect before work begins.

Moss can return over time, especially on shaded roofs, because spores are carried in the air. A biocide treatment kills remaining spores and algae and slows regrowth, helping the clean last longer. Biociding is one of our services, so ask about it when you request a quote.

Yes. Removing the moss, lichen and algae that hold moisture against your tiles reduces the wear that leads to early repairs or replacement. A clean, well-maintained roof lasts longer and protects the structure underneath.

We don't recommend it. Roofs are slippery and falls from height are a serious risk. Using the wrong tools or too much pressure can also damage your tiles. A trained team with proper access equipment can do the job safely.

It depends on the surface and its condition. Our team is PureSeal-trained in paving restoration, and we will advise at your free assessment what is suitable for your patio or driveway.

Soft washing uses low-pressure water with a suitable cleaning solution to remove algae, mould and dirt. It is safe for render, painted walls and other delicate surfaces because it does not blast the surface, and the results usually last longer than pressure alone.

Green and black marks are usually algae, lichen or mould. Soft washing with a suitable treatment breaks them down without damaging the render, leaving walls looking fresh and slower to re-stain.

At least once a year, and more often if you have overhanging trees. Autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is the best time to clear them before winter rain.

Look for water overflowing the edges, sagging gutters, stains on walls, plants growing in the gutter and dripping from joints. Left untreated, blocked gutters can cause damp, rotten fascias and water damage near your foundations.

Autumn is a popular time, because cleaning before winter stops damp, cold-weather moss from causing frost damage. Roofs can be cleaned at any time of year when the weather allows. We avoid working in heavy rain, strong wind or ice for safety.
