Expert Roof Cleaning Service in Worcester
Professional Roof Moss Removal & Cleaning | XTX Limited
Is your roof looking grubby, covered in unsightly moss, algae, or lichen? Are you fed up with blocked gutters and a patio constantly strewn with fallen moss? At XTX Limited, I understand the hassle a dirty roof causes. It is more than just an eyesore; organic growth can damage roof tiles, block drainage, and reduce your property's value.
With a trade background, I don’t just "wash" roofs - I provide a technical assessment of your home’s "envelope" to ensure the cleaning method matches the age and condition of your tiles.
My Professional Roof Cleaning Methods
I offer safe, effective, and tailored roof cleaning solutions designed to protect your home while delivering brilliant results. During my free survey, I will assess your roof's condition to recommend the best approach for you:
1. Manual Scraping & Soft Washing (The Gentle Approach)
Ideal for: Older, delicate, or fragile roofs where a gentle touch is required.
- Manual Moss Removal: I carefully hand-scrape away moss and larger debris using long-reach telescopic poles with purpose-made roof scrapers shaped to your specific tile profile.
- HSE-Approved Biocide Treatment: I then apply a specialised HSE approved biocide that penetrates the tile to kill off lingering spores (algae, lichen, and fungi).
- Long-Lasting Results: While the full visual effects develop over a number of months, as nature washes away the dead growth, this method provides a gentle, highly effective long-term solution.
2. Pressure Washing or Steam Cleaning (The Rapid Approach)
Ideal for: Robust, modern concrete tiles in good condition where you want immediate, dramatic results.
- Controlled Cleaning: Using specialist van-mounted equipment, I use low-pressure, high-flow techniques (often incorporating steam) to quickly clear stubborn moss and grime. This method is only recommended for roofs with intact felt underlay.
- Protective Biocide Application: After cleaning, I apply an HSE-approved biocide to deter future growth, keeping the tiles cleaner for significantly longer.

Get a "Ballpark" Remote Estimate
If you want a rough idea of the cost today, simply send me your address. I can often use satellite imagery and "ruler tools" to provide a remote estimate. If that estimate fits your budget, I will then arrange a physical site visit to confirm the price.

- Mid-Terrace: ~55m2
