Why is Roof Cleaning Essential for Properties in Leeds?
The vibrant, sprawling city of Leeds presents its own unique set of environmental challenges that are particularly tough on roofs. The mix of heavy traffic, industrial heritage, and damp climate creates a perfect storm for grime and organic growth.
Here are three key problems we solve for our customers in Leeds:
Stubborn urban pollution and traffic film
The sheer volume of traffic in and around Leeds creates a constant stream of airborne pollutants. This settles on your roof as a dark, greasy film that can be incredibly difficult to remove. Over time, it gets baked on by the sun and can degrade the surface of your tiles. Simply blasting it with a pressure washer is a bad idea, as it can cause significant damage. Our professional soft wash roof cleaning uses specialised solutions to break down this film chemically, allowing it to be rinsed away safely.
That persistent urban grime
You're probably fed up with the constant stream of pollution and traffic fumes in and around Leeds leaving a thick, black film on your roof. Not only is this stuff a nightmare to try and get off, but it also gets baked onto your tiles by the sun over time. Don't even think about using a power washer - it's likely to cause more harm than good and leave you in a worse state than you started. Our soft washing technique uses special cleaning solutions to break down the grime without damaging your roof tiles.
Moss & algae taking over
With the Leeds damp weather as it is - and all the shade provided by your roof - it's no wonder that moss, algae and lichen are just thriving . whats worse is that all these unwanted growths just love to soak up the moisture which is then trapped all winter. and when the water freezes it can do serious damage to your tiles and let in water. We have a moss removal service that doesnt just sort out the existing mess but also puts measures in place to stop it coming back.

Our Roof Cleaning Services for Leeds
We offer a comprehensive range of services to restore your roof’s health and appearance.
Soft wash roof cleaning
This is our primary and most highly recommended method. It involves applying a specially formulated, pH-neutral cleaning solution that eradicates moss, algae, and lichen down to the root. We follow this with a gentle, low-pressure rinse that washes away years of dirt and grime, leaving your tiles immaculate without causing any damage. It’s the gold standard for roof algae removal.
Roof moss removal
For roofs with a thick carpet of moss, we begin with a manual scrape. This is done with great care, using tools specifically designed to match the profile of your tiles to prevent any scratches or chips. Following the removal, we apply a professional-grade biocide treatment that kills any remaining spores and helps to prevent regrowth, ensuring your roof stays cleaner for longer.
Tiled and slate roof cleaning
Whether your property has modern concrete tiles, traditional clay pantiles, or natural slate, our team has the knowledge to handle them correctly. Our tiled roof cleaning process is always carefully adapted to protect the unique character and integrity of your roofing material, delivering a safe and transformative clean.
Pressure washing roofs
While we are firm believers in the soft wash method, there are specific circumstances where controlled pressure washing roofs is a suitable option. This is generally reserved for very durable, non-porous modern roof tiles that can withstand the force without being damaged. Our experts are trained to identify when this method is appropriate and will only use it when it’s the best choice for your property.
