Tile Roof Cleaning
That Lifts Moss Without Damaging Tiles
Tile roof cleaning removes moss, lichen, and grime from concrete and terracotta tiles without damaging the surface. We adjust our method to the tile type and age, check for cracked tiles as we go, and leave your gutters clear. Our owner is on site for every job.

Cleaning Concrete vs Terracotta Tiles
Different tiles need different care:
- Concrete tiles: Their surface coat wears thin over time, so too much pressure can strip it away. We use a controlled pressure.
- Unglazed terracotta: Strong and durable, but older tiles can be brittle and need a gentler approach.
- Glazed terracotta: Has a smooth, sealed face that cleans easily at low pressure.
Removing Moss and Lichen From Tiles
Moss and lichen root into the surface of tiles, especially porous concrete. Washing alone may not remove the roots.
We apply a treatment to kill growth, clean off what remains, and let the treatment keep working after we leave. This slows regrowth for longer than washing alone.
Checking Tiles as We Clean
Cleaning gives us a close look at every tile. We note and photograph:
- Cracked or broken tiles: That could let water in.
- Slipped tiles: Out of line with their neighbours.
- Cracked ridge pointing: That may need repointing.
- Blocked valleys: That can cause overflows.
Small repairs can often be done the same day. See tile roof repair.
Sealing Tiles After Cleaning
Once concrete tiles are clean, you can see how worn the surface is. If the tiles are porous and faded, sealing and coating will protect them and restore their colour.
Terracotta usually does not need coating, but some owners choose a clear sealer. We will explain the options. See roof painting.
How Often Tile Roofs Should Be Cleaned
Most tile roofs benefit from a clean every few years. Shaded roofs, roofs under trees, and south-facing slopes may need cleaning more often.
Regular cleaning keeps moss under control and helps tiles last longer.
Tile Roof Cleaning Cost
The cost depends on roof size, pitch, storeys, tile type, and the amount of growth. We confirm the price before starting.
