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.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the roof clean take?
It depends on roof size, material and access; many standard jobs typically take a few hours. Larger roofs, fragile tiles or difficult access may extend the work to a longer visit or multiple sessions.
Will cleaning damage my tiles?
For fragile terracotta or slate, providers typically use gentler methods to minimise breakage. Tile replacement or structural repairs are generally out of scope and would be quoted separately if broken tiles are found.
Do I need scaffolding or prepared access?
Standard safety measures are usually assumed for straightforward access, but scaffolding or specialist equipment may be needed for steep or difficult roofs. Let the provider know about access issues so they can advise whether additional equipment is required.
Does this work require a licence?
This exterior cleaning service is listed as unlicensed. Any repair or structural work discovered during cleaning is typically out of scope and may require a different tradesperson or licence.
