🧼☀️ Why Summer Is the Perfect Time for Roof Cleaning
Let’s be honest — roof cleaning isn’t the most glamorous job on the to-do list. But when the sun’s out, the garden furniture is dusted off, and the BBQ is calling… it’s actually the perfect time to take care of your roof. Why? Because summer conditions make the process safer, more effective, and longer-lasting.
Here’s why you should take advantage of the warmer months and get that roof sparkling again.
🌱 Moss & Dirt Don’t Take Holidays… But You Can Stop Them
Over the autumn and winter months, your roof becomes the ideal place for moss, algae, lichen, and general grime to thrive. That build-up doesn’t just look bad — it holds moisture, weighs down your tiles, and can eventually lead to long-term damage.
Summer is the best time to tackle it, while the weather is dry and growth slows down.
🧽 Dry Weather = Better, Safer Cleaning
Here’s the truth — wet and windy conditions make roof cleaning riskier (for both the property and the person doing it). That’s why we love a summer clean:
Tiles are dry so there's less risk of slippage or damage
Debris comes off easier when it hasn’t just been rained on
Biocide treatment is more effective — it can settle into the surface properly and keep working for 3–5 years
🌟 Biocide is like your roof’s invisible bodyguard. It keeps moss and algae away, long after the clean is done.
🛠️ Our Safe, effective Method: Why It Works
You may have seen videos online of people pressure-washing a roof like it's a driveway 😬
We do not do that.
Instead, we use a roof wand system that "hovers" over the tiles, safely washing away moss without damaging your roof. Then we apply a biocide treatment to stop regrowth.
✅ No walking on tiles
✅ No broken slates
✅ No jet washing horror stories
And as standard, we include:
✔️ Gutter clean
✔️ Fascia & soffit wash
✔️ Window cleaning — for that final finishing touch
📸 Real Results, Real People
We recently completed a roof clean in Kings Stanley for a lovely customer who’d just moved in. She was worried about loose tiles and a leaky conservatory — so we chose the gentlest and safest approach for her home.
By the end of the day, she had:
✨ A moss-free, healthier roof
🪟 Gleaming windows
🌿 Zero mess on the patio
… and one less job on her list.
