ROOF CLEANING & ROOF MOSS REMOVAL IN BURY

Across Bury, roofs are constantly exposed to damp weather, mature trees and seasonal debris, creating the ideal environment for moss, algae and lichen to thrive. Left untreated, heavy moss growth can trap moisture against roof tiles, block gutters and detract from the appearance of your property. At Costello & Son Cleaning Services, we provide professional roof cleaning throughout Bury using a safe, specialist cleaning process that removes moss while helping to protect the condition and lifespan of your roof.

Unlike many companies offering roof cleaning, we never pressure wash roofs. Instead, we use the specialist Marshall Air System to carefully remove moss by hand before applying a professional biocide treatment that targets the remaining spores responsible for future growth. Every roof cleaning project also includes a complete gutter clearance, ensuring your roofline is left clean, clear and ready to cope with the changing Greater Manchester weather.

MANUAL ROOF MOSS REMOVAL

Properties throughout Bury often experience heavy moss growth due to shaded gardens, nearby trees and regular rainfall. Using the Marshall Air System, we manually remove moss, lichen and organic debris without exposing roof tiles to unnecessary pressure, helping preserve the condition of the roof while achieving a thorough clean.

PROFESSIONAL BIOCIDE ROOF TREATMENT

Following moss removal, we apply a commercial-grade biocide treatment across the entire roof surface. This destroys any remaining moss, algae and lichen spores, helping reduce future regrowth while allowing your roof to continue improving in appearance over the months ahead.

GUTTER CLEARING INCLUDED

Every roof cleaning service includes a complete gutter clearance. Removing moss from the roof naturally creates debris, so we clear all gutters and downpipes before leaving your property to ensure rainwater can drain away correctly and help prevent future blockages.

OUR SAFE ROOF CLEANING METHOD

Many properties across Bury feature concrete roof tiles, slate roofs and older roofing materials that require a careful cleaning approach. Using excessive pressure can shorten the lifespan of these materials and increase the risk of damage. That's why we've invested in the Marshall Air System, allowing us to remove moss safely using a controlled manual scraping process rather than pressure washing or steam cleaning.

Every roof is carefully assessed before work begins to determine the most suitable cleaning approach. Moss is removed by hand before a professional biocide treatment is applied to eliminate remaining spores and provide long-lasting protection. Finally, we clear all gutters to complete a comprehensive roof cleaning service that protects both the roof and the roofline.

ROOF CLEANING FAQs

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Why don't you pressure wash roofs?

Pressure washing can force water beneath roof tiles, loosen ridge pointing and damage protective coatings. Our manual roof cleaning process using the Marshall Air System provides a much safer alternative while achieving excellent long-term results.

How do you remove moss from roofs in Bury?

We manually remove heavy moss using the Marshall Air System before applying a professional biocide treatment that kills the remaining moss, algae and lichen spores responsible for future growth.

Why is biocide treatment included?

Removing visible moss is only the first step. Biocide treatment destroys the remaining spores, helping roofs throughout Bury stay cleaner for much longer and reducing the speed of future moss regrowth.

Is gutter cleaning included with every roof clean?

Yes. Every roof cleaning project includes a complete gutter clearance, ensuring moss and debris removed from the roof cannot create blockages within your guttering system.

Will roof cleaning damage older roof tiles?

No. Our cleaning process has been specifically designed for safe roof cleaning. By avoiding pressure washing and manually removing moss instead, we minimise the risk of damage to older concrete, slate and clay roof tiles commonly found across Bury.

How long do the results last?

Results vary depending on the property's surroundings, but our professional biocide treatment continues working after the clean, helping reduce moss, algae and lichen regrowth for an extended period.

Do you clean all roof types?

Yes. We clean most residential roof types throughout Bury, including concrete tiles, slate roofs and clay roof tiles. Every roof is assessed before work begins to ensure the safest cleaning method is used.

Which areas around Bury do you cover?

We provide roof cleaning throughout Bury, including Brandlesholme, Walshaw, Tottington, Ramsbottom, Radcliffe, Unsworth and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.
