Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Air Scraping (Moss Removal)

Air scraping uses controlled compressed air to dislodge moss and organic growth from roof tiles without relying on aggressive water pressure. It’s a strong option for roofs with heavier moss build-up where a careful, low-impact removal method is preferred. We then clear debris away and leave the surrounding area tidy.

Biocide Treatment (Optional, Recommended)

After moss removal, we can apply a biocide treatment to help tackle remaining organic growth and slow regrowth over time. This helps keep the roof looking better for longer, especially on shaded elevations.

Low-Pressure Cleaning (Where Appropriate)

In some cases, low-pressure cleaning can be suitable for removing surface grime. If it’s appropriate for your roof type and condition, we’ll explain why, if it isn’t, we’ll recommend a safer alternative.

When moss and organic growth build up, it holds moisture, traps dirt, and can make a roof look tired long before it needs replacing. Left for long periods, growth can also contribute to blocked gutters and increased maintenance. A proper clean improves appearance and helps keep the roof in better condition over time.

Roof Cleaning Methods We Use

Every roof is different. We choose the safest and most effective option based on the roof type, condition, access, and the level of moss/algae build-up.

What’s included

  • Assessment of roof condition and growth level

  • Moss removal using air scraping where suitable

  • Debris cleared away from the work area

  • Optional biocide treatment (quoted separately if needed)

  • Clean, tidy finish on completion

How it Works

We begin with an inspection and choose a surface-appropriate method focused on safety and protection. Depending on the material, we may use a mild detergent/soap, targeted scrub work with a brush, and a controlled rinse to remove build-up and stains without causing damage. We avoid harsh chemicals and household bleach on sensitive areas, protect nearby surfaces (including wall finishes and pointing), and advise on prevention and maintenance. Optional sealant can be applied to suitable driveways and patios to help keep results looking better for longer.

Prevention and longer-lasting results

Exterior cleaning isn’t just about today’s finish, it’s about prevention. We’ll advise on simple maintenance steps to help slow regrowth of green build-up (often described as mildew/mould or algae in shaded areas). Where appropriate, we can also apply an optional sealant after cleaning patios or driveways to help protect the surface and keep it looking better for longer. The main benefits are improved appearance, safer surfaces underfoot, and reduced ongoing maintenance.

  • Joe, Worthing

    Tom from Spray Away Cleaning Solutions cleaned our roof in Worthing and the difference is huge. The roof had a lot of moss and staining, and it now looks fresh and properly restored. Tom was quick to respond, explained what he was going to do, arrived on time and worked carefully throughout. He also cleared away the debris and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. Great value for the quality of the work, highly recommended.

  • Mina, Hove

    Our roof was covered in algae and mildew, but I was worried it was the only thing holding the tiles together.

    I contacted some local roofers who insisted on scaffolding instead of ladders so the cost was extortionate. Luckily a neighbour recommended Tom, who came and had a closer look.

    He was definitely much more cost-effective (bargain actually), as he used his pole that fires out air to clear the moss to not damage the tiles. It looks amazing, very pleased.

    For an added added bonus Tom also cleared the moss of our flat roof above the garage and porch that had grown on the small stones on it. He then recommended some better options for protection other than shingles.

  • Roof cleaning quotes depend on a few straightforward factors: roof size, pitch, access, the amount of moss/algae build-up, the method required (air scraping vs other approaches), and whether you want a biocide treatment included.

  • Air scraping uses controlled compressed air to dislodge moss and organic growth from roof tiles. It’s a targeted method that avoids relying on aggressive water pressure.

  • It can be, depending on the roof type and condition. We assess the roof first and recommend the safest approach ,especially on older roofs or where tiles may be fragile

  • We avoid unnecessary force. Our approach is surface-appropriate, and we’ll recommend the method that’s safest for the roof.

  • Moss removal can be messy, but we work carefully and clear debris away. We also leave the surrounding area tidy at the end of the job.

  • Where appropriate, yes. Biocide treatment helps tackle remaining organic growth and can slow regrowth, especially useful on shaded roofs.

  • Regrowth depends on shade, moisture, and local conditions. Treatment and periodic maintenance can help keep it under control.

  • We cover West Sussex & Surrey including Worthing, Angmering, Storrington, Ashington, Pulborough, Horsham, Crawley, Reigate and Brighton. And everywhere inbetween.

  • You can try DIY, but it’s easy to cause damage or get uneven results. Many people reach for strong chemicals or bleach, or use a pressure washer too aggressively. We use the right combination of method and product (sometimes a detergent/soap mix, a controlled scrub with a brush, and a thorough rinse) to clean effectively while protecting the surface. Sometimes a professional pressure washing service is needed.
