Colchester’s & Tendring Trusted Roof Cleaning Service.

Because a clean roof makes your whole house look cared for.

Is Your Roof Letting the Side Down?

Your roof takes a beating. Moss, algae, and weathering are inevitable in Colchester's climate, and before you know it, your tiles have gone from looking sharp to looking grimy.

The frustrating part? It happens to even the best-maintained homes.

The good news is that roof cleaning is one of the quickest wins you can do for your property.

A professional clean doesn't just improve curb appeal—it removes the buildup that can actually damage your tiles over time. Whether you're thinking about selling, want to refresh your home's appearance, or simply can't stand looking at a green-streaked roof anymore, we can get it sorted.

What’s Really Happening on Your Roof

If you’ve lived in Essex for a while, you already know our weather isn’t kind to roofs. Between the rain, moss, algae, and air pollution, your tiles quietly collect a layer of grime that eats away at their surface.

It doesn’t happen overnight.

First, you’ll notice the darker patches.

Then the green streaks.

Eventually, moss takes root between tiles, lifting them and trapping moisture underneath.

Left long enough, this can cause leaks, block gutters, and even shorten the lifespan of your roof.

Worse still, it drags down the appearance of your entire home. You might have spotless windows and fresh paintwork, but if the roof looks shabby, it ruins the effect.

Estate agents will tell you the same - buyers make up their minds before they step inside.

A dirty roof screams “maintenance problem.”

The truth is, most roofs aren’t damaged — they’re just dirty. And the difference between the two can be several thousand pounds in unnecessary repairs.


Professional, Reliable Roof Cleaning for Colchester Homes

At Colchester Exterior Cleaning, we specialise in restoring roofs to their best condition using professional soft-wash or low pressure cleaning techniques.

That means no harsh pressure blasting, no damaged tiles — just carefully applied cleaning solutions that lift dirt, moss, and algae at the root. Once clean, we can also treat your roof with a protective biocide to keep growth away for longer. The result? A fresher, brighter roof that stays that way for years.

Every job starts with a free inspection, where we assess the type of roof, level of build-up, and any problem areas. We then create a tailored plan to make sure your roof gets exactly the right treatment.

Our friendly, fully insured team handles everything — including tidy-up — so you can relax knowing your home is in good hands.

Whether you’re preparing to sell, sprucing up for the season, or simply taking pride in your property, you’ll be amazed by what a clean roof can do for your home’s look and value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What surfaces can you safely clean?

We clean siding, roofs, concrete, decks, fences, gutters, and more. We adjust our equipment and techniques based on each surface to ensure safe, effective results.

Do you use high pressure on all jobs?

No. We use soft washing for delicate areas like roofs and siding, and high-pressure washing for tougher surfaces like driveways and patios.

Is power washing safe for my home?

Yes, when done correctly. We’re trained to use the right pressure and eco-friendly solutions to avoid damage and get the best clean.

How long does the cleaning take?

Most residential jobs are completed in a few hours. Larger or commercial projects may take a full day — we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Do I need to be home during the service?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and a water source, we can complete the job while you’re away.
