Signs Your Roof Needs Cleaning
Visible Moss and Algae Growth
If you notice moss, algae, or lichen on your roof, it’s a sign that it’s time for a cleaning.
This is usually the reason people come to us in the first place.
Discolouration of Roofing Tiles
Discolouration is often caused by the buildup of dirt, algae, or moss.
If your roof tiles look darkened or stained, a thorough cleaning can restore their original colour and brightness.
Blocked Gutters and Downpipes
When debris and moss from the roof start falling into your gutters, it not only blocks them but also indicates that your roof has accumulated too much dirt.
This can lead to water ingress into your property, damp problems and potentially dangerous issues.
The Benefits Roof Cleaning:
✓ Prolonging Roof Lifespan
A professionally cleaned roof can last much longer than one that’s left to the mercy of the elements. By removing dirt, moss, and algae, you prevent degradation of the roofing materials, ensuring your roof remains durable for years to come.
✓ Improving Aesthetic Appeal
A clean roof instantly boosts the appearance of your home. Whether you’re looking to sell your property or simply want to take pride in its appearance, a spotless roof makes a big difference. A cleaned roof will often look brand new once we’re finished.
✓ Enhancing Energy Efficiency
Believe it or not, a clean roof can also improve your home’s energy efficiency. When debris and moss build up, it creates insulation layers that trap heat, making your home hotter in summer. By keeping your roof clean, you allow your home to regulate temperatures more effectively, reducing energy costs.

Roof Cleaning FAQ
How long does a roof cleaning service take?
The duration of roof cleaning depends on the size and condition of the roof.
Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.
Larger roofs or those with extensive moss and algae buildup may take longer.
Is roof cleaning safe for all types of roofs?
Yes, roof cleaning can be safely performed on all types of roofs as long as the correct method is used.
Soft washing is recommended for delicate materials like clay tiles, while sturdier roofs may benefit from pressure washing.
In some cases, scraping is required. Boicide is also used to destroy lichen, moss and vegetation.
What if my roof is damaged during cleaning?
Boston Jetwash is experienced in avoiding causing damage, however, for peace of mind, we are fully insured.
Before we conduct a roof clean, we carry out a thorough assessment to make you aware of any issues like broken or loose tiles, seal or flashing issues, and anything else that could cause concern.
We believe in being honest and genuine, to the point where we would walk away from a job if we felt it would be damaging in any way to the property.
How Should I Prepare for Your Roof Cleaning?
Safety first:
Before any roof cleaning begins, it’s essential to take safety precautions. This might include clearing the surrounding area, moving garden furniture, or securing any loose items around your home.
Securing nearby outbuildings and plants:
Roof cleaning can lead to runoff from chemicals or debris. To avoid damage, ensure that nearby plants, outdoor furniture, and other items are protected or moved.
Let Boston Jetwash do the work:
We will provide information on our first visit that will identify anything that needs moving.
If you can move items yourself before we visit it does make our job easier but we’re happy to quote for the service if you let us know.
What is the cost of roof cleaning in Lincolnshire?
How We Structure Our Pricing:
The cost of roof cleaning depends on various factors, such as the size of the roof, the extent of moss or algae growth, and the type of cleaning required.
Average Costs for Different Roof Types:
For an average property in Lincolnshire, roof cleaning starts at £250. With prices tiered to the roof size and overall condition.
We offer free quotes to ensure you’re 100% happy before we start the work.
Can I get a discount?
Yes!
We offer discounts for multiple services. It can be very cost-effective to book gutter cleaning, a patio clean or pavement cleans at the same time as we clean your roof.
How often is roof cleaning required?
In most cases, roof cleaning every two to three years is sufficient.
However, if your roof is prone to moss, algae, or lichen growth, you may need more frequent cleaning.
Boston Jetwash uses biocide treatment which can last up to about five years, ensuring your roof will look great for a really long time. This also means you are getting the most out of your roof cleaning spend.
Can I clean the roof myself?
Attempting to clean your roof yourself can be dangerous and ineffective.
Many property owners accidentally damage their roofs or miss problem areas.
If in doubt, get a free quote from us.
Will my roof need regular inspections?
It’s generally wise to get your roof inspected every year or two, especially for older properties.
However, our thorough cleaning service should keep your roof moss and lichen-free for at least 2 to 3 years, possibly a lot longer.
Can roof cleaning improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes, a clean roof allows your home to maintain better temperature control.
Moss and algae can trap heat in summer, making your home warmer, which could lead to higher energy costs. A clean roof helps your home stay cooler.
Someone came and cleaned a small patch of our roof!
Unfortunately, there are a lot of unreputable “businesses” who come and clean a small patch of your roof and then usually offer a sky-high quote to finish the job.
No reputable or experienced roof care professional would engage in these practices.
We advise that you ensure these people are off your property and do not return!

Is Roof Cleaning Essential in Lincolnshire?
The Impact of Weather on Roofs
Lincolnshire is known for its rainy and often cool climate. With extremes in both summer and winter.
Over time, the weather causes dirt, debris, and moisture to accumulate on rooftops, which can accelerate wear and tear.
Without proper maintenance, this buildup leads to leaks, damaged roof tiles, and potential structural problems. Roof cleaning helps to remove these contaminants and keep your roof in top condition.
Unsightly Moss, Lichen, and Algae Growth
The damp conditions in Lincolnshire also provide a breeding ground for moss, lichen, and algae.
These organisms, if left untreated, can eat away at roof tiles and create cracks. Not only do they compromise the roof’s structure, but they also cause unsightly black streaks that reduce your home’s ‘curb appeal’.
Preventing Structural Damage
Roof cleaning is about more than just removing visible dirt. It’s about preventing long-term damage to your roof and the underlying structure.
When moss and algae grow unchecked, they trap moisture, leading to the wood underneath the roof becoming soft or rotting. Regular cleaning is an essential part of preventing costly repairs down the line.
