Why Should you Clean Your Roof in Ripon?
The beautiful city of Ripon, with its rich history and stunning architecture, has its own set of environmental challenges that are tough on roofs. From the damp air to rural debris, your roof faces a daily battle.
Here are three common issues we regularly solve for customers in and around Ripon:
A perfect storm for moss
The combination of Yorkshire’s damp climate and Ripon's leafy surroundings creates the ideal environment for moss, algae, and lichen to thrive. These organisms aren't just a cosmetic problem; they act like a sponge, holding onto rainwater. Come winter, that trapped water freezes and expands, which can cause tiles to crack and shift. Our specialised moss removal from roofs not only clears the existing growth but also treats the surface to stop it from coming back so quickly.
Protecting Ripon's character properties
Ripon has a wonderful mix of old and new buildings. Cleaning the roofs of period properties or those in conservation areas requires a gentle, expert approach. Using high-pressure jet washing can be disastrous, potentially stripping the surface from tiles, damaging mortar, and causing leaks. We use a soft wash roof cleaning technique that relies on specialist cleaning solutions, not aggressive force, to safely eliminate organic growth without harming your roof's delicate structure.
Gutter chaos, loose debris and water damage
Where does all that moss, algae, and loose debris end up? Straight into your gutters. Clogged gutters can lead to water overflowing down your walls, which can damage brickwork, fascias, and even your property's foundations over time. A core part of our service is ensuring your gutters are clear of all cleaning debris, leaving your entire roofline clear and working as it should.

Our Roof Cleaning Services
We provide a full suite of services designed to get your roof looking its best.
Soft wash roof cleaning
This is our go-to method for roof moss removal in Ripon. We apply a specially formulated, pH-neutral cleaning solution that gets deep into the roots of moss and algae, killing them off completely. We follow this with a gentle, low-pressure rinse. It’s the best roof algae removal method out there, delivering a deep clean without any risk of damage.
Roof moss removal
If your roof has a thick blanket of moss, we'll start by manually scraping it away using tools specifically designed for your tile profile. This removes the bulk of the growth. We then apply a professional-grade biocide treatment to eliminate any remaining spores, inhibit future growth and serve as a protective coating, keeping your roof cleaner for much longer.
Tiled and slate roof cleaning
From traditional clay pantiles to modern concrete tiles and natural slate, we have the expertise for them all. Our tiled roof cleaning methods are carefully adapted to protect the integrity and appearance of your specific roof material, ensuring a brilliant, safe result every time.
Pressure washing roofs
While soft washing is our preferred method, pressure washing roofs can be a suitable option for certain types of robust, modern roofing. Our team is highly trained to know when this method is safe and effective. We will only ever use it if we are 100% confident it won’t cause any harm to your property.
Frequently asked questions
Here are some answers to questions we often hear from our Ripon customers.
How long will it take to clean my roof?
Most domestic roof cleaning jobs are finished in just one day. For larger or more complex commercial projects, it might take a little longer, but we will always provide a clear timescale with your quote.
Is your cleaning method safe for my roof?
Yes, completely. Our moss removal service uses a soft washing technique which is the safest and most effective way to clean a roof. The low pressure steam cleaning and specialist solutions are tough on moss spores and grime but gentle on your tiles and mortar.
Do I need to be at home for the cleaning?
Not at all. As long as we can access the property and have an external water tap, you can go about your day. We promise to leave your property spotless.
