How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
Once a year is a sensible starting point, although homes under trees or below a mossy roof may need checking more often.

Roof Cleaning
Moss, algae and lichen can leave a roof looking tired and regularly drop debris into the gutters below.
Roof cleaning is not the same as cleaning a driveway. We check the tiles, pitch, condition and access before deciding what method makes sense.

Common roof cleaning questions
Should a roof be pressure washed?
Not by default. Too much pressure can damage tiles or push water where it should not go. It depends on the roof and its condition.
Does roof cleaning repair damaged tiles?
No. Broken tiles, leaks and failing mortar need a roofer. We will point out anything obvious that we see.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are a good starting point, but we may still need to check the access and condition in person.

Should You Pressure Wash a Roof?
Sometimes—but never as a one-size-fits-all job. The tiles, age and condition of the roof come first.
