Roof Cleaning Before and After
Photos For Professionals & Customers
When examining roof cleaning before and after photos it’s important to note what method has been used to achieve the visual results you are viewing. At The Roofing Club we predominantly focus on a soft wash moss removal process rather than a heavy-handed abrasive pressure wash clean. Ironically, most of the best roof clean photos you will view on most contractors websites are from high pressure cleaning. This is because high pressure immediately removes all moss, algae, lichen and grime from roof tiles. The follow-up treatment many of these contractors then use is purely for the inhibition of moss regrowth which is effective for approximately 2 years.
‘Soft washing’ is a combination of manual brushing combined with a sodium hypochlorite treatment. The manpower of gently and accurately removing moss will make an immediate visual difference to your roof (approximately 80 – 90% clear on average). You will clearly see the work that has been completed from the ground level looking up. However 100% cleaning perfection is achieved 2 – 16 weeks following the clean as the roof self-cleanses with the treatment. This sodium self-cleansing does not cause gutter or drainage issues as all organic matter is fully broken down prior to being washed away during this post-roof clean period.

When is the Best Time of Year to Remove Moss From Roof Tiles?
The best time of year to remove moss from roof tiles is almost always NOW. Obviously your own personal circumstances and financial situation will play an important part in your decision making process. We understand that getting your roof cleaned sometimes costs more than people realise. It can even seem like a boring way to spend your money but unfortunately there’s no avoiding it sometimes. However, the return of investment is substantial in terms of how much moss removal will save you later down the line. It’s better to be getting your roof cleaned now rather than your whole roof replaced within the next 5 years.
Is Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Worth It?
We believe a clean roof is a healthy roof. Moss removal is an often overlooked part of roof maintenance. A clear roof is essential to preventing more substantial future roof repair work. Moss that accumulates on roof tiles has a tendency to reek havoc on your building and can lead to costly roofing services being urgently required. For example untreated moss will:
- Fall into gutters causing blockages that lead to overflows during rainy season
- Repeated blocked gutters that lead to more serious drainage problems
- Get in between and into your roof tiles, lifting them up and/or cracking them
- Lead to roof tile degradation that causes the internal roof structure to become damaged (for example rain water eventually rotting roof battens etc.)
- Cause damp to develop inside your building; often seen in upstairs landings, bathrooms and bedrooms
As well as causing damage to the structures of your building, moss can also just become a pain in the backside! Many of our more mature customers often state that they’ve simple “had enough” of continually bending over to pick up moss from the ground.
Moss is also unsightly and can raise questions for potential buyers should you be considering selling your property. Surveyors often include roof moss removal as a recommendation on a home buyers report. To our knowledge, most insurers don’t cover moss accumulation in their coverage, however they will expect you to resolve the consequences of untreated moss accumulation!
