Roof Cleaning for Bearsted homes and businesses
We carry out roof cleaning for homeowners and businesses across Bearsted and the surrounding Kent villages. Moss removal and softwash treatment, with the method chosen to suit the covering.
Bearsted and Weavering sit under a lot of mature trees, and leafy, shaded roofs are the ones that moss up fastest. Most of the roof work here is manual moss removal followed by a biocide treatment, with the gutters cleared of everything that comes down.
Bearsted and Weavering properties sit under a lot of mature tree cover, which is exactly what feeds moss on roofs and blocks guttering.
What we find in Bearsted
- Gutter clearing from the ground using vacuum poles, with before and after photographs.
- Roof softwashing on tiled and concrete roofs shaded by nearby trees.
- Block paving and sandstone patios lifted back to colour.
What the job includes
- Roof and access survey before quoting
- Manual moss removal and scraping where the covering suits it
- Softwash biocide application to treat algae, lichen and remaining spores
- Gutter and downpipe clearance of dislodged moss
- Ground level clear-up of fallen debris
- Powered access or safe working at height as the site requires
How we work

FAQs
Roof Cleaning in Bearsted — common questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Bearsted?
Every Bearsted property is different, so we price on the size and condition of the job rather than a flat rate. Send us a few photos or the address and you will get a fixed written quote back — no call-out fee and no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Bearsted?
Yes. We cover Bearsted and the surrounding area, including Maidstone, Detling, Hollingbourne. We are based in Maidstone, so Bearsted is a regular run for us.
How long before the moss comes back on a Bearsted roof?
Under heavy tree cover, moss is always going to return eventually. The biocide treatment carries on working for a long time after we leave and keeps the slope clear far longer than removal on its own would.
Do you cover Weavering, Madginford and Thurnham too?
Yes — Bearsted village, Weavering, Madginford, Thurnham, Detling and Hollingbourne are all a short run from our Maidstone base.
Can you clean a roof without damaging the tiles?
Yes, when the method suits the covering. Manual moss removal and softwashing are far gentler than high pressure water, which can strip the granular surface off older concrete tiles and force water under laps.
How do you remove moss from a roof?
Usually by lifting the bulk off by hand or with a scraper, then applying a biocide to kill the remaining growth and spores. The treated residue weathers off over the following months.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
There is no fixed interval. North-facing roofs and those under trees may need attention every few years; open, sunny roofs can go much longer. An annual look at the gutters usually tells you.
Do you use high pressure on roofs?
Only where the covering genuinely suits it, and it is not our default. On most domestic roofs we recommend manual removal and softwashing instead.
