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

Both workmen did an excellent job…

Both workmen did an excellent job thoroughly cleaning the roof and cleaning/repairing the guttering in what was quite terrible weather.
I was pleased with how well they cleaned round the house when the job was finished, taking all the collected moss etc away with them. Would recommend and will use again as needed.

Roof and Gutters Cleaned

Roof and Gutters Cleaned, Excellent.
So on Thursday 17th Dec20, I had a roof and gutter cleaning from the guys at the British Roof Cleaning Ltd.
They were fairly on time for an early start. They did the job excellently from the cleaning and the tidying up.
The price was reasonable considering the amount of moss and algae on the roof.
I will definitely use them again in the future and will highly recommend them to anyone.

End result is good, processes bad

While the end result is good and the roof is clean, I was not happy with the people smoking on my property whilst working and less happy about them filling my garden waste bin with the stuff that came off the roof as the binmen will not empty it, so I have been left with a bin full of waste to deal with

Reply from British Roof Cleaning

Hi Dawn. Thanks for the feedback. We do now offer an optional waste removal service to all our customers. As for the smoking on the property, everyone is now aware that any smoking must be in the van and not on site, including outdoor spaces like driveways.

I have never seen 2 men work so hard…

I have never seen 2 men work so hard for 2 full days in such appalling conditions. The result of their work is amazing. One of my neighbours actually asked me if I had my roof painted!
The clean up afterwards was also completed to a high standard.
Unbelievable results.

You won’t be disappointed!

So pleased with the service I received from BRC. From my initial enquiry to work being carried out I was kept in the loop the whole time by Liam.No high pressure sales and very accommodating to date etc.Everything explained clearly.Very fair,reasonable price too.Lee and Brandon worked so hard over the 2 days that it took.A little scary at first to see all the mess but was assured that it would all be gone when finished.True to their word they left my premises and you would never know they had been apart from my super moss free roof looking like new. I have recommended them to 3 more people so I hope they employ BRC,they will not be disappointed. Thanks BRC it’s a pleasure to employ workers who carry out work with care and to a high standard.👌👍

Excellent service all round

Lee and Brandon the team who completed the work were excellent. The job took a full day from 8.30am until 7pm. There was a lot of mess from the moss that came off the roof and they cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. The communication with Liam at the company office was excellent answering any questions I had. All this at a very competitive price. Highly recommend.

I can’t believe the difference in our roof !!

The 2 guys arrive promptly, early in fact, set to straight away and totally grafted until after 7 in the evening, leaving everything sparklingly clean ⚡️ They even ensured our grumpy neighbours were appeased by cleaning up the small amount of fly away debris.

Would totally recommend this firm, for workmanship, value for money and customer service 👍
