Roof cleaning in Allerton

Allerton’s Victorian and Edwardian villas mostly sit under original slate, while the 1930s semis on Mather Avenue and Menlove Avenue carry clay and concrete tile that has spent ninety years soaking up damp air beneath the street trees. Neither surface should ever meet a jet wash, so we treat and soft wash the lot, lifting the moss and killing the spores at the root, and we clear the gutters while the access is up because the tree drop here fills them quickly.

Roof cleaning across Allerton

Slate and porous tile both get a gentle soft wash from us, never a blast, with a treatment that stops the moss marching straight back under all that tree cover.

Allerton is about as green as Liverpool suburbs get. Calderstones Park, Clarke Gardens, Allerton Towers and the golf course at Allerton Manor form a near-continuous belt of parkland through the middle of L18, and the avenues themselves are lined with mature street trees planted when the roads were laid out. All that canopy holds shade and keeps dripping long after the rain has stopped, and with damp Mersey air sitting over the suburb for most of the year, moss, algae and black spot come back fast on any surface that gets rinsed rather than properly treated.

Roof cleaning in Allerton: your questions

Do you cover Allerton?

Yes, Allerton and the L18 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 16 minutes out from our base in Prescot.

How much does roof cleaning cost in Allerton?

There is no set price list, because what you pay comes down to the pitch and size of the roof, how much moss has built up, and whether we can get a tower or ladders to it safely.

Do you jet wash roofs?

No. Blasting tiles with a pressure washer cracks them, strips the protective surface off concrete tiles and can push water up under the roof into the felt. We use hand scraping, soft washing and steam instead, and save the jet washing for driveways and patios.

What is soft washing?

Soft washing means applying a professional cleaning solution at low pressure to kill moss, algae and lichen at the root. It reaches the growth a scraper can’t, and it keeps working after we’ve left, so the roof carries on improving for weeks after the clean.
