Nottinghamshire roof cleaning typically ranges from £350 for a small terrace up to £1,200+ for large detached properties. The price is driven by roof area, access difficulty, tile type, moss thickness and whether scaffolding is required.
Typical 2026 price bands
These are honest fixed-price ranges for a fully insured soft-wash service including biocide treatment and gutter clearance. They exclude scaffold-hire where required.
- Mid-terrace, 2-bed: £350–£500
- Semi-detached, 3-bed: £450–£750
- Detached, 4-bed: £650–£950
- Large detached, 5-bed+: £900–£1,200
- Bungalow: £300–£550
- Additions per feature (dormer, valley, complex roof): £75–£150
What drives the price up
The biggest single factor is roof area, but access difficulty is a close second. Properties with restricted rear garden access, adjoining fences, sloping ground or overhead cables all require more setup time. Very thick moss adds physical scraping time. Fragile older clay tiles add care and slow down the operation.
What should never appear as an extra
Gutter clearance should be included in every quote — moss removal inevitably fills the gutters. Biocide treatment should be included on any 'full clean' — a moss scrape without biocide is a 12-month fix, not a 5-year one. Sheeting and plant protection is standard. Written quote and public liability certificate should be included on request.
How to compare quotes fairly
Ask each quoting company: what pressure will you use, what biocide product, does the price include gutters, and can I see your public liability certificate. Any hesitation on those four questions is a red flag. A slightly higher price from a properly insured soft-wash specialist almost always outperforms a cheap pressure-wash quote over any reasonable timescale.
