Soft Wash vs Pressure Washing Roofs — Which Is Best?

For 90% of UK roofs the answer is soft washing. Pressure washing has a place but it's much narrower than most homeowners realise.

Why soft washing wins for most roofs

Soft washing relies on chemistry — a roof-safe biocide — rather than water pressure. The roof is cleaned without abrading the tile surface.

When pressure washing is acceptable

Natural Welsh slate, dense quarry tiles and certain stonework can tolerate controlled pressure washing. Concrete and most clay tiles cannot.
