Roof cleaning in Prescot

The terraces around Eccleston Street and the old town carry original slate, and the interwar and council-built semis further out sit under concrete tiles that soak up the damp air rolling off the Knowsley parkland. Both surfaces grow moss faster than most owners expect, and both are easily wrecked by a careless jet wash. We treat and soft wash the roof covering instead, clearing the moss and the black streaking without stripping the surface of the tiles or slates.

Roof cleaning across Prescot

Slate and porous concrete tile cannot take a jet wash, so every Prescot roof gets a soft wash and a treatment that kills the moss at the root instead of just knocking the tops off.

Prescot catches the full run of damp westerly weather coming up the Mersey basin, and the wooded parkland of the Knowsley Estate on the doorstep keeps the air green and the gutters full of leaf drop. The tight terraced streets of the old town hold shade for most of the day, so slate roofs, flagged yards and rendered gables stay wet long after the rain has passed, and that lingering moisture is why moss and algae keep coming back until the growth is properly treated rather than just blasted off.

Roof cleaning in Prescot: your questions

Do you cover Prescot?

Yes, Prescot and the L34, L35 postcodes is on our regular patch from our base in Prescot.

How much does roof cleaning cost in Prescot?

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.
