Roof cleaning in Eccleston

The big 1930s semis and detached homes off Prescot Road sit under concrete tile with wide hips and long valleys that collect moss, while the post-war homes at Gillars Green carry plainer tiled roofs that green over just as fast beneath this much tree cover. We scrape the moss off by hand, apply a treatment that keeps killing the spores after we leave, and clear the gutters and downpipes before we pack up, because heavy pressure on a porous tile only shortens its life.

Roof cleaning across Eccleston

Every roof gets scraped by hand and treated on low pressure, so the tile surface stays intact while the moss dies right back to the root.

Eccleston is one of the leafiest corners of St Helens, with woodland walks around Eccleston Mere, Taylor Park on its eastern edge, the small nature reserve at Mill Brow and mature trees standing over most avenues. All that green is why people move here, and it is also why moss and algae never stay away for long. Shaded roofs, drives and render hold the damp Mersey basin air for days at a time, so growth creeps back fastest on the tree-lined plots, which is why we treat surfaces properly rather than just rinsing them.

Roof cleaning in Eccleston: your questions

Do you cover Eccleston?

Yes, Eccleston and the WA10 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 15 minutes out from our base in Prescot.

How much does roof cleaning cost in Eccleston?

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.
