Residential & commercial
We clean red-brick terraces, 1970s estates, new-build developments and rental properties across Bridgwater, removing moss, algae and lichen with safe, non-damaging methods. Whether you want to restore the look of your roof, stop blocked gutters and damp, or lift kerb appeal before selling, full care and clean-up come included.
For landlords, letting agents, care homes, schools and business premises in and around Bridgwater. Every job is risk-assessed and fully insured up to £10 million, with before-and-after photos and minimal disruption.
Local roofs
Bridgwater sits low on the Levels beside the Parrett, so the air stays damp for much of the year. Black algae streaking on concrete tiles is very common, alongside thick moss on shaded slopes. Brick terraces near the centre often have older clay or slate roofs.
Sitting low on the Somerset Levels, Bridgwater gets more than its share of damp air, and algae streaking is extremely common on the town's concrete tiles. A softwash treatment lifts that staining, while thicker moss on shaded slopes is better handled with a controlled low-pressure wash. We work on houses, rental properties and commercial premises alike.
We also clean roofs in the villages around Bridgwater, including North Petherton, Puriton, Cannington, Woolavington.
Our methods
No single method suits every Bridgwater roof. We look at the tile type, age and level of growth, then explain whether a low-pressure clean, softwash or biocide treatment is best.
Our preferred method when suitable
When your tiles are suitable we use a flat surface cleaner rather than a lance, so the water pressure is spread evenly and gently. The only thing that touches your tiles is water, and the improvement is instant.
Best for light algae and staining
A low-pressure chemical treatment that kills organic growth and lightens staining. Ideal for lightly soiled or more delicate roofs, or as follow-up maintenance after a full clean.
Available on request
Moss is physically scraped off by hand and a biocide is then applied to kill the remaining spores. It is often seen as the safest option, but in our experience metal tools can crack or dislodge brittle and weathered tiles.
What's included
What we remove
Moss
The most common problem on UK tiled roofs. It thrives on damp, shaded, north-facing slopes, holds water like a sponge, causes frost damage, loosens tiles and blocks gutters as it falls.
Algae
Dark green or black streaks and stains, most often on concrete tiles and slate. It rarely damages tiles directly but ruins the look of a home and usually leads to moss if it is left.
Lichen
Hard crusty white, grey or orange patches. More stubborn than moss or algae, it grows slowly on older roofs and can etch into the tile surface if left untreated.
Grime & pollution
Dust, soot, bird droppings and traffic pollution build up on roadside and town properties, dulling the colour of the roof and speeding up staining.

Questions
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof and how much moss there is. Our minimum charge is £600. Trace your roof on our satellite map to see a rough estimate in about 60 seconds, then we confirm a fixed price before booking.
Yes — as well as Bridgwater itself we regularly clean roofs in North Petherton, Puriton, Cannington, Woolavington and the surrounding area.
Because of the damp Levels air, a biocide treatment is especially worthwhile in Bridgwater — expect roughly 2 to 4 years before growth starts to return.
