When your roof starts looking tired and moss-covered, it's time to take action. We specialise in professional roof cleaning throughout Sunderland, helping homeowners and businesses restore their properties to pristine condition. Our comprehensive roof cleaning services remove moss, algae, dirt, and debris while extending your roof's lifespan by up to 25 years.
Over 70% of UK homes experience moss or lichen growth on roofs by the time they are 10 years old. What starts as minor green growth quickly becomes a major problem if left untreated. Moss, algae, and lichen can degrade roofing materials over time, leading to expensive repairs or premature replacement.
Regular cleaning doesn't just maintain appearances. A clean roof can increase property value by up to 5%, according to real estate professionals. More importantly, clean roof tiles help maintain your home's energy efficiency. When moss and debris accumulate on roof surfaces, they trap moisture and reduce the roof's ability to reflect heat properly.
We provide expert roof cleaning services throughout Sunderland and surrounding areas:
Most homeowners benefit from professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years. We clean all roof types commonly found in Sunderland, including:
Our domestic service includes moss prevention treatments, gutter cleaning, and detailed inspection of roof condition. We provide before and after photos showing the transformation achieved through professional cleaning.
Business properties require different approaches due to size, accessibility, and materials used. We handle:
Commercial roof cleaning maintains professional appearances while protecting significant property investments. A full roof replacement in the UK can cost £5,000 to £12,000 or more, while professional roof cleaning typically costs £300 to £800.
We also provide cleaning services for unique situations:
Once your roof is clean, sealing helps preserve that investment. Sealed roof surfaces repel water more effectively, preventing moisture from penetrating into tiles and underlying materials. This protection is particularly valuable in coastal areas like Roker and Seaburn, where salt air and harsh weather conditions can accelerate roof deterioration.
Quality roof sealing typically adds 5-10 years to your roof's lifespan, making it a cost-effective investment following professional cleaning. The sealed surface also makes future cleaning easier and more effective, as dirt and organic growth have less chance to take hold.
We use high-quality roof sealers specifically designed for UK weather conditions. The process involves:
Different roof materials require different sealing approaches. Concrete tiles benefit from penetrating sealers that soak into the material, while slate roofs may require surface sealers that create a protective film. We select the most appropriate sealing method based on your roof type and condition.
Properties throughout Sunderland face unique challenges from industrial pollution, coastal weather, and urban environment factors. Professional sealing provides:
The sealing process also helps prevent tile porosity issues that can lead to water absorption and freeze-thaw damage. This protection is especially important for older properties in established areas like Ashbrooke and Hendon.
Roof spraying and painting offers the most dramatic visual improvement possible for tired-looking roofs. Our professional painting services can make a 20-year-old roof look brand new, significantly boosting your property's appearance and value.
The process involves applying specially formulated roof paint that bonds with cleaned roof surfaces to create a durable, weather-resistant finish. This treatment is particularly effective for concrete and clay tiles that have lost their original colour due to weathering and age.
Our roof painting service follows strict quality standards:
We use only premium roof paints designed specifically for UK conditions. These paints offer superior adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance compared to standard exterior paints.
Choose from a wide range of colours to complement your property's style:
All our roof paints include UV protection to prevent fading and colour degradation. The finish options include standard matt, satin, and semi-gloss depending on your preference and roof material.
Professional roof painting provides multiple protective benefits:
The painted surface also makes future maintenance easier, as dirt and organic matter have less chance to penetrate and establish themselves on the roof surface.
Roof painting works best on:
Properties in areas like Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, and Hetton-le-Hole often benefit significantly from roof painting due to exposure to industrial pollution and urban environmental factors.
Professional roof painting typically costs 30-50% less than complete roof replacement while delivering similar visual impact. For properties where the roof structure remains sound but appearance has deteriorated, painting offers exceptional value for money.
The combination of cleaning, sealing, and painting can extend a roof's life by 15-20 years while maintaining excellent appearance throughout that period. This approach is particularly popular for commercial properties where professional appearance is crucial but replacement costs are prohibitive.
Regular roof cleaning helps prevent tile displacement, clogged gutters, and underlying water damage that may not be visible until it's too late. Clean roof surfaces allow proper water drainage, reducing the risk of leaks and structural problems.
When moss growth becomes established, it can lift roof tiles and create entry points for water. Professional cleaning removes this risk while identifying potential problems before they become expensive repairs.
Regular roof cleaning helps maintain the energy efficiency of your home as dirt and organic buildup can reduce reflective properties, making your attic hotter in summer. Clean roof surfaces perform better in all weather conditions, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.
Excessive moisture retention from dirty roofs can lead to damp problems inside your property. Clean roof surfaces promote better air circulation and reduce humidity levels that contribute to mould and condensation issues.

Our DOFF steam cleaning equipment represents the latest technology in gentle roof restoration, using superheated water to achieve exceptional results without mechanical damage to delicate roof surfaces.
