Roof Cleaning in Shirley
Soft-wash & low-pressure roof cleaning. Hand-scraped moss. Tiles protected, not blasted.
Roof cleaning in Shirley 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 Shirley, what we actually find here
The housing round here. Broad mix. Interwar semis along the Stratford Road, 1960s detached through Solihull Lodge and newer infill developments behind the main road.
Why Shirley exteriors get dirty. The Stratford Road corridor puts a constant film of traffic grime on front elevations, while the quieter roads behind suffer the usual shaded-side algae on render and paving.
Access and pricing. Front elevations facing the main road need a detergent wash rather than a rinse. Rear gardens are usually reachable through a side gate, which keeps the job quick.

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.
