Areas we cover
Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal across Sale and nearby
Sale grew quickly after the railway arrived in 1849, and Victorian terraces, semi-detached houses and larger villas from those years still stand across the town, with many of the bigger houses now converted into flats. Roofs of that age are typically slate, with brick chimney stacks and lead flashing that have had well over a hundred years of weather.
We are based at 43a School Road in Sale, so Ashton upon Mersey, Brooklands, Sale Moor and Timperley are all a short drive.

FAQ
Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal: common questions
Will cleaning damage my roof?
Not when it is done by hand. We do not use high-pressure washers on tiles or slates.
How long before the moss comes back?
It depends on shade and trees nearby. A biocide treatment slows it down, but no treatment stops moss for good.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the roof, the access and what we find. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation.
