Nottingham specialists
Many Nottingham homeowners search for 'roof pressure washing' assuming it's the standard cleaning method. In reality, full pressure washing is only safe for a narrow range of robust roof coverings. We provide honest assessments — and where pressure washing is genuinely the right solution, we deliver it properly.
Natural Welsh slate, dense quarry tiles and certain stonework respond well to controlled pressure washing because the substrate is non-porous and exceptionally hard. For these surfaces, careful pressure cleaning produces an excellent result without surface damage.
Concrete tiles, most clay tiles and aged slate should never be subjected to high-pressure water. The protective surface coating is removed, exposing porous aggregate that holds moisture, accelerates moss regrowth and significantly shortens roof life. If a contractor offers to pressure-wash your concrete-tile roof in Nottingham, walk away.
Semi-detached, Mapperley (NG3)
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.

Detached, Arnold (NG5)
Classic gloeocapsa streaking from the ridge down. No moss present — biocide-led soft wash was the correct treatment, no physical scraping needed.

Edwardian semi, West Bridgford (NG2)
Two years without gutter clearance under mature lime trees. Overflow was already staining the render — caught just before fascia damage set in.
