Each pair shows the exact same property before we started and after we finished, with a short case note explaining what we did and why. ![Thick green moss cushions covering grey concrete interlocking roof tiles on a Nottingham semi-detached house before soft wash cleaning](/assets/moss-before-CeL4iIzI.jpg) Before ![The same concrete tile roof after professional soft wash and biocide treatment, moss removed and original tile colour restored](/assets/moss-after-Btn_lOSk.jpg) After Semi-detached, Mapperley (NG3) ### Heavy moss cushions on concrete tile Twelve years without treatment left this north-facing slope smothered in moss. Manual scraping plus soft-wash biocide restored the tile in a single day. [See our Moss Removal service →](/roof-moss-removal-nottingham) Homeowner had noticed granules in the downpipes and a colour shift on the north pitch. We manually scraped bulk moss top-down, cleared the gutters of dislodged material, then applied biocide at correct dilution across the full roof. The killed moss continued to shed for six weeks after our visit. ![Prominent black algae streaks running vertically down grey concrete roof tiles on a detached Nottingham home before biocide treatment](/assets/algae-before-2s2tnYBA.jpg) Before ![The same roof after soft-wash biocide treatment showing uniform clean grey tiles with all black streaking removed](/assets/algae-after-CyMpLrXo.jpg) After Detached, Arnold (NG5) ### Black gloeocapsa algae streaks Classic gloeocapsa streaking from the ridge down. No moss present — biocide-led soft wash was the correct treatment, no physical scraping needed. [See our Algae Removal service →](/roof-algae-removal-nottingham) Because the growth was purely surface algae rather than moss, the job was chemistry-only. Full-roof biocide application at the correct dilution killed the algae; the streaks faded visibly within four weeks and were gone by week eight. ![UK plastic house gutter completely blocked with wet moss and rotting leaves overflowing onto the fascia](/assets/gutter-before-CIyOx3RU.jpg) Before ![The same gutter after professional clearance showing clean empty channel with water flowing freely from the downpipe outlet](/assets/gutter-after-XhbwMKHO.jpg) After Edwardian semi, West Bridgford (NG2) ### Fully blocked gutter with moss and leaf debris Two years without gutter clearance under mature lime trees. Overflow was already staining the render — caught just before fascia damage set in. [See our Gutter Cleaning service →](/gutter-cleaning-nottingham) Full-length manual clearance of all gutter runs, downpipe flush with water test, and photographic before/after record. We recommended annual clearance given the tree cover and diarised a reminder for late autumn each year. ![Aged Victorian Welsh slate roof covered in grey-green and bright orange lichen crusts across multiple slates in Nottingham](/assets/lichen-before-CaGiJtlD.jpg) Before ![The same Victorian slate roof after two-stage biocide treatment showing clean dark slate with lichen crusts removed](/assets/lichen-after-EJdjgN2t.jpg) After Victorian terrace, Sneinton (NG2) ### Established lichen on Victorian slate Decades-old lichen on original Welsh slate. Two-stage biocide treatment eight weeks apart cleared it without disturbing the aged nail fixings. [See our Slate Roof Cleaning service →](/slate-roof-cleaning-nottingham) Heritage slate is not a candidate for aggressive physical removal — nail fatigue makes brittle slates prone to slipping. We used gentle soft-wash chemistry, extended dwell time, and returned at week eight for a second application. Result: clean slate, zero slates disturbed. ## How we document every job Every roof clean we deliver produces a photographic before/after record — not just for the gallery, but for you.

The cases shown cost between £520 and £1,180 depending on roof size, tile type, moss severity and access. Most Nottingham semis of this kind fall in the £450–£950 range for a soft wash with full moss removal and biocide. How often do these roofs need re-treating? A full soft wash and moss removal every 3–5 years, with a biocide top-up at the 24–36 month mark for shaded or tree-lined properties like the West Bridgford and Mapperley cases shown. Was pressure washing used on any of these jobs? No. Every case in the gallery was completed with soft wash and professional-grade biocide. Pressure washing would have removed moss faster but stripped the tile coating and dramatically shortened roof life — a trade-off we never make. How long will the 'after' condition last? For the concrete-tile cases shown, 3–5 years of visible cleanliness is realistic. The Victorian slate case in Sneinton is expected to hold heavy-lichen control for 5–7 years with a single mid-cycle biocide top-up. ### Get a free roof cleaning quote Tell us about your property and we'll respond within one working day.
