Roof cleaners who know Chelmsford's roofs
Chelmsford covers everything from Victorian terraces near the centre to 1930s semis in Moulsham and Great Baddow and new estates at Beaulieu and Channels. Each roof type needs a slightly different approach.
We work across Springfield, Broomfield, Great Baddow, Writtle, Galleywood and Moulsham (CM1, CM2). The jobs we see most:
- Slate and clay on older terraces, cleaned gently with low pressure
- Concrete tiles on 1960s to 80s estates in Springfield and Great Baddow
- Newer builds where moss starts in the valleys within a few years

On the day
What happens when we arrive
Terry, the owner, is on every job, sometimes with a labourer. The same careful routine on every roof, from the first knock to the final walk round.
1We walk round with you
We arrive on time and walk round the house with you first, so you know the plan before anything starts.
2Tarpaulin down, neighbours told
Neighbours below the roof line get a knock, and tarpaulin goes down so nothing lands on their side.
3Low-pressure clean
Every slope cleaned with low pressure only. Then your gutters cleared and fascias washed down, free.
4Biocide, then a proper tidy-up
Biocide goes on to kill what's left at the root, then we clear up everything before we go.

Our promises
Nothing to pay until you're happy
No deposit
Nothing to pay up front. You pay when the job's finished and you're happy, by bank transfer or cash.
3-year moss-free guarantee
If moss clearly grows back within three years, we re-clean the roof free. In writing, on your invoice. Roofs under overhanging trees aren't covered.
Tile replacement guarantee
We photograph the roof before we start. If a tile is disturbed during the clean, we replace it like for like at no cost.
£1M insured
Every job is covered by £1 million public liability insurance. Ask to see the certificate.
FAQs
Roof cleaning in Chelmsford: your questions
Is roof cleaning worth it on a newer house?
Often, yes. On shaded roofs moss starts in the valleys and gutters early, and a clean with biocide stops it before it takes hold.
Is Chelmsford in your area?
Yes. Chelmsford and the villages around it are well within our area, and the quote is free.
How often will a roof near the woods need cleaning?
Less often once it has been treated. The biocide keeps working for years, and the 3-year moss-free guarantee covers you in the meantime.
Our house is listed. Can you clean the roof?
Usually, with the right method. Check with the council first if you're unsure, and we'll use low pressure only.
Our roof is quite steep. Can you still clean it?
Yes. We plan access for each roof, using towers and long poles, and choose the safest way to reach every slope.
Do you come out as far as Burnham and Southminster?
Yes. Burnham, Southminster and the Dengie villages are all in our area, and the quote is free.
How much does roof cleaning cost?
Most homes cost £650 to £950, with the biocide, gutters, fascias and soffits included. A bungalow is £450 to £550, and a large or hipped roof from £1,150. Your exact price is fixed before we start. No deposit, and no VAT to add. See our roof cleaning prices.
Do you charge extra for the gutters and fascias?
No. Every roof clean includes a free gutter clear and a free fascia & soffit clean. Both are done on the same day as the roof. We also do gutter clearing on its own.
Can you price my roof without coming out?
Usually, yes. We can see the size and shape of your roof and how much moss is on it without coming out, and photos you send help too. If anything is unclear, such as access at the back, we arrange a free visit first. Either way, the price we give you is the price you pay.
Will cleaning damage my tiles?
No. We use low pressure only, never high-pressure blasting. We photograph the roof before we start, and if a tile is disturbed during the clean we replace it like for like at no cost.
