Expert Roof Cleaning Services
Roofs are your building’s first line of defence against the elements, but they’re also vulnerable to moss, algae, lichen, dirt and environmental contaminants. Left untreated, these deposits can accelerate deterioration, cause staining, trap moisture and create costly maintenance issues.
Our Roof Cleaning Services combine specialist techniques, industry‑grade equipment, and trained operatives to restore roof surfaces safely and effectively. We help commercial, industrial, residential and public sector clients prolong asset life, improve appearance, and protect property value with tailored cleaning solutions that meet your needs.

Our Roof Cleaning Process
Detailed Roof Survey & Assessment
Every roof is unique. We begin with a comprehensive survey to assess the surface material, contamination level and any access challenges. This enables us to select the most appropriate cleaning method for long‑lasting results.
Risk Assessment & Method Statement
Before works start, we produce detailed risk assessments and method statements to ensure safety, compliance and minimal disruption to your site operations, regardless of building height or location.
Specialist Cleaning Techniques
We utilise proven methods, including low‑pressure soft washing, high‑pressure jet techniques where appropriate, and eco‑friendly moss and algae treatments to remove deposits without harming roof substrates.
Controlled Algae, Lichen & Moss Removal
Our approach targets biological growth at the source, ensuring deep removal rather than superficial cleaning. This helps prevent rapid re‑growth and extends the effective life of your roof cladding.
Water Management & Protection
Run‑off is managed responsibly to protect landscaping, drainage systems and nearby surfaces. Where required, containment measures are put in place in line with health and safety standards.
Final Inspection & Reporting
Once cleaning is complete, we carry out a thorough final inspection to confirm quality, leaving you with a visual record of works and professional affirmation that your roof has been restored to specified standards.
Why Choose Our Roof Cleaning Services
Professional roof cleaning isn’t just about appearance; it’s about extending service life, protecting building surfaces and reducing long‑term maintenance costs. We offer:
Specialist Roof Surface Knowledge
We understand how different roof materials, such as tiles, slate, metal or composite, respond to cleaning, and we tailor our methods accordingly.
National Coverage with Local Response
Whether you manage a single building or a nationwide property portfolio, our teams deliver consistent, quality service coast to coast.
Safe Working at Height Competence
All roof cleaning works are performed by trained operatives using safe systems of work, including harnesses, scaffolding or MEWPs as required.
Hygiene & Structural Protection
Removing moss, algae and debris reduces moisture retention, minimises slip hazards on adjacent surfaces, and protects against structural staining and decay.
Case Study: Roof Cleaning at Cygnet Commercial Building
Restoring Roof Safety and Appearance Across a High-Profile Facility
When external building surfaces accumulate moss, algae, and stubborn environmental grime, routine cleaning is often insufficient to maintain safety, aesthetics, and long-term performance. SafeGroup was commissioned to carry out a comprehensive roof cleaning programme at the Cygnet commercial facility, a large, multi-level site with high pedestrian and operational activity.
The building presented several challenges, including difficult access to high-level roof sections, fragile surfaces sensitive to pressure, and the need to maintain operations below without disruption. SafeGroup deployed specialist high pressure jet washing equipment, operated by trained technicians with full health and safety compliance, to remove moss, algae, lichen and accumulated debris safely and efficiently.
Our teams implemented a carefully staged cleaning plan, combining controlled water pressure, eco-friendly cleaning agents, and water management techniques to protect drainage systems and the surrounding environment. By using data-led methods to map affected areas and monitor progress, we ensured all roof surfaces were thoroughly cleaned without causing damage to tiles or underlying structures.
The project was completed on schedule, restoring the roof’s appearance and reducing slip and water retention risks. By enhancing the building’s safety and longevity, SafeGroup enabled the client to maintain a high standard of site presentation while avoiding costly repairs or disruption to operations.
