Roof Cleaning in Olton
Soft-wash & low-pressure roof cleaning. Hand-scraped moss. Tiles protected, not blasted.
Roof cleaning in Olton starts from £500 for a typical semi-detached property. We use a soft-wash treatment with low-pressure methods, never destructive high pressure. Heavy moss is scraped off by hand or lifted with a flat surface cleaner dialled down to a safe low pressure, then the roof is treated with a biocide that kills spores at the root and tiles return to original colour over the following weeks. Standard high-pressure jet washing blasts away protective coatings and shortens roof life by years, we tune our kit to protect the tiles.
roof cleaning in Olton, what we actually find here
The housing round here. Substantial Edwardian and 1930s housing around Olton Mere and the station, a lot of it with mock-Tudor timber detail, tall gables and original clay tiles.
Why Olton exteriors get dirty. Mature gardens and the water at Olton Mere keep humidity high. Painted timber gable detail and north-facing tile all attract green growth, and clay tiles hold moss in the laps.
Access and pricing. Painted timber detail and clay tile both rule out high pressure. Everything here is soft washed, which takes longer but leaves the detail intact.

Why professional roof cleaning matters
Roof moss isn't just ugly, it acts like a sponge, holding water against tiles. In winter that water freezes, expands and cracks the surface. The right fix is biocide and patience, not destructive blasting. Standard high-pressure jet washing strips the factory glaze from concrete and clay tiles and voids most roof warranties. Our method uses high water flow at heavily reduced pressure to lift dirt safely, plus a specialist biocide that kills moss properly, the natural colour returns over the coming weeks as rain washes the dead growth away.
