Pricing guide
Cost is driven by labour time and materials needed to access and safely clean the roof surface. Fragile roofs (eg terracotta/slate) typically require slower, gentler methods and higher labour allowances, while metal roofs are usually faster to clean. Additional items such as scaffolding, significant repairs discovered during work, call‑out fees and after‑hours attendance can also increase the overall scope and price.
Roof material and fragility
Fragile tiles like terracotta or slate usually need gentler, slower methods and extra protection, which increases labour.
Roof area and complexity
Larger roofs or complex roof geometry typically require more crew time and multiple cleaning passes.
Access and safety requirements
Steep pitches, limited access or the need for scaffolding or specialist plant can add time and equipment needs.
Extent and type of soiling
Heavy moss, lichen or staining may need more intensive treatment and additional consumables or containment.
Timing and call‑out arrangements
A call‑out fee is applied separately and after‑hours attendance is usually charged at a higher rate.
