It keeps our home and our family warm and dry, so why don’t most homeowners look after their roof like they service their boilers? Whether you want to know about how an insurer will approach a roof claim or you simply want to be the smartest house on the street, we’re here to bring you the lowdown on the highest peak of your property.
Out of sight – but not off your mind
Moss on a roof isn’t only unattractive – it can lead to safety issues, trapping moisture (moss holds up to 20 times its own weight in water!), rotting wood, damaging tiles, and even causing structural weakening. In the worst cases, homeowners can end up wasting thousands on unnecessary redecoration and upheaval after a leak. Some insurers even refuse claims due to excessive moss, citing it as a sign of neglect.
Changes to insurance policies have made one thing clear: home insurance is designed to cover the unexpected – like storms, fires, or theft – not damage caused by general wear and tear or preventable issues like a neglected roof. If water damage or other problems are made worse by poor maintenance, insurers may reject the claim, arguing it could have been avoided with proper upkeep.
Luckily, there’s a simple fix – one that doesn’t involve replacing your roof: stay on top of roof and gutter cleaning to avoid costly surprises later.
We’ve seen a significant increase in demand for our roof cleaning services – for practical and cosmetic reasons. A clean from one of our professionals not only helps extend your roof’s lifespan and robustness but can also restore its original colour and charm – increasing that all-important kerb appeal and ensuring your home is the best-looking spot on the street!
Like driveway and decking pressure washing, roof cleaning is the next big thing in home maintenance services – one we expect to stick around for years to come.
How much upheaval will it cause?
For years, British homeowners have lived with dirty or moss-covered roofs, assuming the only solution was an expensive refurbishment involving scaffolding, days of work and an unsightly mess left behind. But, thanks to our advanced roof washing technology, properties can now be transformed in as little as one day by professionals – and at a fraction of the cost.
So, how do we make it look so easy? Our secret lies in a streamlined, mess-free process that’s been refined to perfection. There’s no need for scaffolding or high-pressure jets – just extendable tools and the experienced hands of our professionals.
We collect all waste on the spot and remove it the same day, so there’s no debris left behind. From start to finish, we’re fast, efficient, and surprisingly satisfying to watch – and the results speak for themselves. Our customers are left with a roof that looks as good as new, without the hassle or the hefty bill.
What can you expect from a My Property Pros roof cleaning service?
What actually happens when we turn up for a roof clean? Well, it all starts with an assessment. Don’t worry, we’re not about to test you on your knowledge of roof cleaning – instead, we’ll assess your roof for potential problem areas using a handy bit of kit.
Technology is transforming the way homes are cleaned and, for us, drone inspections are at the heart of our service evolution. With a bird’s-eye view of your roof, you get to see exactly what’s going on up there, often for the first time. But it’s not merely clever kit – it’s a simple, powerful way to spot problem areas, track progress, and feel confident that nothing’s being missed. Whether it’s hidden moss, cracked tiles, or general wear and tear, the drone picks it up before it becomes a bigger issue.
Then, our trained professionals will use specialist cleaning equipment designed to gently remove years of grime, moss, lichen, and algae without damaging the tiles. Once the debris is removed, they’ll treat the roof with a professional-grade biocide that keeps regrowth at bay for years to come… guaranteed!
Roof cleaning you can trust
Our professionals will use only HSE-approved products that are safe for your family, pets, and all roof types. It’s a gentle but effective approach that delivers real results without the harsh chemicals or damage some older methods can cause. It’s peace of mind, guaranteed with every clean – and a non-negotiable for us. We are also fully insured, DBS checked, trained, accredited, and compliant with safety regulations – protecting both your property and our team working on it.
Once our customers see the benefits, they never go back – whether that’s driveway pressure washing, which has become the norm for home services in the last 20 years, or roof cleaning – which we predict will become as common as pressure washing in the next few years. Roof cleaning is a service that offers a quick and easy transformation; it’s an investment in your home’s future – and it’s now easier than ever.
