We strongly recommend Liam and Lee for their roof cleaning service. They completed our roof cleaning within a day and it made a massive difference to neighbours roofs.

Avoid Irreversible Roof Damage that is Expensive & Emotionally Damaging. Contact us for a Free Fast Soft Wash Roof cleaning Quote. Don’t Fall for Rogue Traders and their Unreasonably Low Jet Wash Prices. Here’s 6 reasons why unnecessary high pressure jet washing shouldn’t be used instead of soft wash roof cleaning: 1) In many cases it voids your roof tile manufacturers warranty. Any pressure over 1,200psi can cause irreparable damage to some roofs because of their construction or current condition (psi is ‘pressure per square inch’ and measures a unit of stress) 2) Loosens waterproofing flashings if machine used incorrectly. Loose flashings will allow water to leak in causing water degradation and damp. 3) Diminishes tile surfaces by creating an etched tile. This means there are deeper crevices in the tile, making it easier for algae to grow, which will hasten the need for a another roof clean in the future! 4) Creates mess on the day of the clean. We always clean up after our work but some tradesman can not be trusted to minimise and then remove all mess from a jet spray. 5) Can sometimes change the general colour of the roof. High pressure jet wash on some roofs will lead to duller, often white roof tiles months or years after the clean. This is rarely the ‘freshen up’ experience our customers are hoping for 6) Last but not least, pressure washing is often the sole method used by non-roofing experts. Window cleaners, gutter cleaners and have-a-go-roof-cleaners have spotted an opportunity to make a quick buck – or so they think. The reality is that roof cleaning mistakes are costly to the tradesman. It’s better to know how to avoid these mistakes but also be skilled enough to rectify unfortunate worst case scenarios. At British Roof Cleaning we know how to carry out all roofing activities should the universe be conspiring against us! So can you pressure wash your roof? Tile manufacturers like Marley have succinctly answered the question of pressure washing by simply saying no. Not all roofs are made using Marley tiles though. Sites like ‘Roof Coating Scam‘ are very black and white on the issue of pressure washing. The word ‘never’ is used many times. We believe that a minority of roofs are suitable for pressure washing but most aren’t. Sometimes a pressure wash is essential. For example, if you wish to paint your roof to upgrade or change the colour, a pressure wash must be completed first immediately before applying the new coating. The good news is the most proven coating products will add a fresh layers of protection to the tiles Clean Your Roof: Get a Free No Obligation quote – Receive Your Roof Cleaning Price Within 24 Hours

A cracking job!

A very good service from this company. The guys who did the work were punctual, extremely hard working and thorough. They did have to return the following Saturday to finish off as the office had underestimated the work involved, but this was not a problem. They have transformed a very neglected roof into one which looks like new. Would thoroughly recommend.

Happy customers!!

We were very happy with the service from British Roof Cleaning. The guys have done a fantastic job and the roof looks like new.
Correspondence with Liam was easy and quick from start to finish. Lee and Brandon worked very hard through varying weather conditions leaving the premises clean and tidy each day.
Thank you!

poor aftersales

I contacted this company as 'the majority' of the reviews were positive. I'ts a shame I am one of the unlucky one's. Liam, the contract Manager ( not sure that's a suitable title tbh ) was very polite and helpful and eager to keep in touch prior to the work being carried out. Unfortunately, he wasn't so eager to speak to me once I had paid the bill. Two very nice guys turned up and did a very good job cleaning my roof and cleaned up all the mess thoroughly. But I noticed the next day, that the pressure washing had blown mortar out of numerous ridge tiles. I contacted Liam, who stated he would send someone round to sort it the following weekend.....nobody showed up and he then declined to answer my emails and text message. I sent a further email two weeks later stating.........

Hi Liam

I am assuming your lack of response to my emails and text message suggests that you are not sending someone to repair my ridge tile pointing as promised? Just checking, prior to writing my review?

Kind regards
Martyn

I then received an email from Kathrine? Not sure who she is but she basically tried to cover for Liam's incompetence and gave me a mobile number for Peter, who kindly phoned me back and said he would sort the work that weekend......but didn't show up. I messaged Peter again a week later asking when he would be able to come round?...no reply? I emailed Liam AND Kathrine ( on the same email by the looks of it ) and two days later no reply? I'm a very reasonable and patient person, but I've given up. The after sales service is atrocious. If you have no complaints then you're lucky. If you do, then don't bother contacting them. You will be wasting your time. I really can't understand why companies can't follow up with good aftersales service?... Because just a few really bad reviews can do much more damage than 50 good ones? Martyn. Sheffield.

......not really much of an explanation is it? Try and defend yourself all you like. But you still haven't replied to my email.... and Peter, who was supposed to repair the damage, didn't turn up or reply to me? I paid my invoice one hour after completion? Your reply is just an excuse and nothing else. You haven't addressed any of the issues I mentioned. Kind regards. Martyn

Hi Martyn, there was a small delay in responding to you during Liams annual leave trip. We do offer to repair small amounts of pre existing issues, either for free or sometimes for a fee if significant and not straightforward. Any damage caused by our work is resolved by us - this was not the case in this instance. We can do minor repairs or even full restoration if necessary, but this is quoted as an additional cost and in line with our insurance policy. If this cost is not accepted or paid in full, we do not carry out the work pro bono. Unfortunately there have been too many instances of late payments and non payments for us to takes risks with repeated, extending good will which can be taken advantage of.

A new looking roof emerged after their excellent work

The two man team arrived promptly, worked hard all day to complete the work very tidily. They stayed on site until late in the day to make sure they had completed all the work really well. I would recommend them to anyone with a seriously mossy roof - it will look new when they have finished!

Disgusting Customer Service do not trust

Very disappointed with this company.
They failed to turn up to clean my roof on three occasions, I was very flexible with them because one of the failed appointments was due to the weather which I totally understand, Liam who takes the bookings customer service levels have been the worst I have ever come across ,not only did they not turn up for the 2nd & 3rd appointments they did not even let me know they were not coming. When I chased the failed appointments up with Liam he did not answer his phone and eventually sent a text which was total LIES. For a company that goes into such detail about their customer service on their website I am very appalled the way they have treat me. When your customers call you the polite thing is to call them back not ignore them, very immature business owner that does not think about its customers. I have put on hold my workman that were coming to fit my conservatory until the roof was cleaned and Liam knew this but doesn't care.
Please stay well clear of this company, you may be one of the lucky ones that their appointment are met but its any ones guess with this company.

Hi Andrew

I would thank you for your review but this would not be sincere gratitude. I am not sure if you are a competitor or are working with a competitor but this is not an accurate review. I have asked Trust pilot to remove this review for slander but they haven't, which is disappointing. I am unsure of what I must do to cajole Trust pilot into doing the right thing so I am resigned to this review remaining.

Superb from start to finish!

Good communication from beginning to end!

The 2 guys arrived on time and worked really hard through the day to ensure the roof was cleaned and treated.

Utterly disappointed.. Never turned up

Utterly disappointed... arranged a date to do my roof... a week before that date they asked to rearrange due to falling behind which we happily agreed.. got to my date and no show... waited all day for them.. after an email with no reply and 2 voice mails on their answer phone as no one answers I'm of the illusion that they are not bothering... wouldnt recommend.. will go elsewhere now.. shocking way to treat customers.. If they would have phoned to say they cannot make it I would have understood..

I am happy with the workmanship but can only give 4 stars because I was left with so many heavy bags of moss which came off the roof, I was of the understanding that this would all be all cleared and removed from the premises. Other than that, the work is good.

Excellent job by the two guys

Excellent job by the two guys, they arrived at the time promised 8am and worked through until complete at 5pm, during the afternoon the weather was less than favourable. There was no clearing up for me to do, well done, more than pleased with the result 👏
