Check condition before cleaning
Cracked tiles, damaged pointing, corrosion and failing coatings are repair issues, not cleaning issues. Visible concerns may need a roofer’s assessment before exterior cleaning can proceed. A clean cannot make a roof watertight or extend a warranty, and those outcomes should never be assumed.
Assess the method and access together
The method must suit the roofing material and its manufacturer’s care requirements where available. Access, height, pitch and nearby power lines can change what is feasible. Additional access equipment or specialist support may be required and should be identified in the quote rather than left as an assumption.
Plan for gutters, tanks and surrounding areas
The route taken by rinse water matters. Gutters, downpipes, rainwater collection and nearby gardens are considered before treatment. Solar panels, skylights and fragile roof elements are not automatically included. We clearly separate roof-surface cleaning from gutter maintenance, repairs and specialist equipment cleaning.
What we look at before quoting.
- Initial roof type and access review
- Discussion of visible condition concerns
- A stated cleaning or treatment scope where suitable
- Planning around drainage and water collection
- Clear exclusions for repairs and specialist equipment
A clear scope before work begins.
Surface area is only part of the picture. The material, amount of growth, staining, access and protection needed all affect the work. Share the relevant details in your enquiry so the quote can be specific to your home.
Understanding the finish.
Cleaning can remove surface dirt and growth, but cannot reverse etching, structural damage or worn coatings. Stains may respond differently and some marks can remain. Any limitations, test requirements or specialist repairs should be discussed before work is agreed.
