Moss holds moisture against roof tiles and shortens their life, and Teesside's damp climate means most roofs grow it eventually. The companies in this area offer moss removal, soft washing and biocide treatments across Teesside. Be wary of anyone who wants to pressure wash your tiles without discussion, it can strip the tile surface and force water underneath, and ask how they protect your gutters and garden during the clean.

Roof Cleaning: common questions
How much does roof cleaning cost in Teesside?
For a typical semi, a moss scrape and biocide treatment usually runs £400 to £800. Soft washing a larger detached roof can reach £1,200 or more. Be suspicious of very cheap quotes, they often mean a quick blast with a pressure washer and no treatment, so the moss is back within a year.
Is pressure washing safe for roof tiles?
It's contested. High-pressure washing can strip the granular surface from concrete tiles, force water under the laps and shorten the roof's life. The safer standard is manual moss removal followed by a biocide or soft-wash treatment. If a company leads with pressure washing alone, ask hard questions.
How long does a roof clean last?
A proper scrape plus biocide treatment typically keeps moss at bay for three to five years. The treatment keeps working for months after application, so roofs often look better six months on than they did on the day.
