Roof Cleaning in Chatham
Moss removal and softwash treatment, with the method chosen to suit the covering.
Roof Cleaning for Chatham homes and businesses
We carry out roof cleaning for homeowners and businesses across Chatham and the surrounding Kent villages. Moss removal and softwash treatment, with the method chosen to suit the covering.
Chatham's mix of hillside terraces and newer estates means access is often the first thing we assess when quoting.
Roof cleaning is the job where method matters most. A concrete interlocking tile, a clay peg tile, a natural slate and a fibre cement sheet all respond differently, and the wrong approach can cost far more than the clean.
What we find in Chatham
- Steep drives and stepped paths cleaned safely.
- Gutter vacuuming up to approximately three storeys from the ground.
- Softwashing on rendered and painted elevations.
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
- Survey. Inspect the covering, pitch, condition and access, and agree what is realistic.
- Set up access. Position powered access or safe working platforms and protect the ground below.
- Remove and treat. Take off the bulk of the moss, then apply biocide to the cleaned covering.
- Clear gutters and site. Clear dislodged material from gutters, valleys and the ground.

FAQs
Roof Cleaning in Chatham — common questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Chatham?
Every Chatham 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 Chatham?
Yes. We cover Chatham and the surrounding area, including Rochester, Gillingham, Maidstone. We are based in Maidstone, so Chatham is a regular run for us.
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.
