Those dark streaks and patches of green spreading across your roof are living growth — algae, moss and lichen that hold moisture against the tiles and slowly work their way underneath, lifting and loosening them over time.
We remove it with the Marshall Pro/Air system: powerful compressed air paired with specialist brush and scraper heads that lift the moss and algae away cleanly, followed by a professional biocide treatment that kills the spores at the root so the result lasts far longer than a quick blast. There is no high-pressure jet washing — the only liquid that touches your roof is the biocide, applied so lightly it is barely a dribble — so nothing is forced under your tiles and the surface is never eroded.
And nobody ever walks on your roof. We work safely from aluminium access towers, mobile elevated work platforms or cherry pickers, which means no risk of cracked or dislodged tiles from foot traffic. We are a local, Dorset-based team covering Wimborne, Poole, Bournemouth, Ferndown and the surrounding area — when you call, you deal directly with the people doing the work, not a national call centre.

What does roof cleaning cost?
Every roof is different, so prices vary with size, pitch and how much growth there is. As a rough guide:
Terraced/Small Semifrom £600
Detached£1200-£1800
Large Detached or Complex Roof£2000+
These are guide prices only. Every job is quoted at a fixed price after a thorough survey
What people say
Real results, in their words
★★★★★
“Adam has done a great job cleaning the roof tiles on our bungalow and clearing the gutters. A lot of moss had grown, particularly on one side of the roof due to a nearby large oak tree. The moss had to be removed and I'm very pleased with the result — it looks so much better! This was all done without him walking on the roof, using long-reach scraping tools and compressed air — with help from the engineer that had designed and made the tools! A week later Adam applied a herbicide to protect the tiles from regrowth of algae/lichens/moss. I found Adam to be careful, considerate and conscientious and he left the site clean and tidy.”

“Adam spent a full day and a half roof-cleaning for us. A large house with one North-facing roof (gets dirty over winter). He used the new method with no wet moss or dirt — he explained the process in detail, was very courteous and pleasant. Adam has an excellent manner, did a great job and charged a fair price. Roof as new, gutters cleaned, patio swept. We recommend Adam 100%.”
No. We use the Marshall Pro/Air compressed-air system with specialist brushes and scraper heads to lift moss and algae, followed by a biocide treatment. No high-pressure water is ever used on your roof.
Does anyone walk on my roof?
Never. We work from aluminium access towers, mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) or cherry pickers, so there is no risk of cracked or dislodged tiles from someone standing on them.
Will it leave a mess?
No. The only liquid applied is the biocide treatment, put on at less than a dribble, so there is no wet runoff. We collect and clear all the moss and debris, leaving your property spotless.
Is it safe for older or fragile roofs?
Yes. Because there is no high pressure and nobody on the tiles, the method is gentle enough for delicate, ageing and heritage roofs.
How long do the results last?
The biocide kills the moss and algae at the root and slows regrowth, so a Marshall Pro/Air clean lasts far longer than a quick jet wash. We can also advise on occasional maintenance treatments.
