Terry & Perry did an amazing job on my bungalow roof yesterday in the 30c heat as well. Very professional from start to finish leaving everything clean & tidy. No hesitation on recommending him to my family or friends. Thank you for a stress free experience

Terry and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish! They did a fantastic job jet washing my roof, and the results are incredible – it looks like new. They offered a great price, completed the work quickly, and were professional throughout. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them to anyone. I’ll definitely be recommending them to my friends and family. Thank you again!

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.

  1. 1

    We walk round with you

    We arrive on time and walk round the house with you first, so you know the plan before anything starts.

  2. 2

    Tarpaulin down, neighbours told

    Neighbours below the roof line get a knock, and tarpaulin goes down so nothing lands on their side.

  3. 3

    Low-pressure clean

    Every slope cleaned with low pressure only. Then your gutters cleared and fascias washed down, free.

  4. 4

    Biocide, then a proper tidy-up

    Biocide goes on to kill what's left at the root, then we clear up everything before we go.

  5. 5

    Photos and sign-off

    Before and after photos, a look from above when conditions allow, and a final walk round with you.

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 Colchester: your questions

Is Colchester in your area?

Yes. Colchester and the villages around it are in our area, and quotes are free.

How soon will I get a price?

Usually within 10 minutes. Most Colchester roofs we can price without a visit. If we need a closer look, the visit is free and usually the same week.

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.
