Roof cleaning from a cherry picker
On this semi-detached house we cleaned the roof from a cherry picker platform, so nobody walks on the tiles and no scaffolding is needed.
Birstall sits on the northern edge of Leicester beside Watermead Country Park and the River Soar.
The damp air from the lakes and river helps moss and algae grow on Birstall roofs, especially concrete tiles on north-facing slopes. Where trees overhang, Birstall roofs rarely dry out fully between showers, so moss spreads quickly.
North-facing roofs closest to the river and lakes often show green algae as well as moss, which biocide treatment helps control.
We clear moss from the slopes, ridge and around any chimney or vent. A biocide treatment slows regrowth for many months. The gutters are cleared afterwards so the moss doesn't block them.
Roof cleaning in Birstall is part of our regular Charnwood round, along with Wanlip, Hallam Fields and Watermead and the neighbouring towns of Thurmaston, Leicester and Rothley.
Prices for roof cleaning in Birstall start at £500. A bungalow costs less than a large detached house — we confirm your exact price before any work. Fixed price confirmed before we arrive — no call-out fee and no hidden charges on the day.
Hipped semi roofs
All slopes cleaned, including the hips and the bay roof at the front.
Concrete tile roofs
Interlocking concrete tiles grow thick moss; hand-scraping and biocide bring them back.
Single-storey roofs
Easy to see from the garden, so the difference after cleaning is clear.
