Roof Cleaning — Chester-le-Street & DH2 – DH3
A proper roof clean is soft-scrape, biocide, and a follow-up spray — not a jet-wash that strips the tile coating and floods the underlay. Done right you gain back 10–15 years of tile life; done wrong you buy yourself a re-roof five years early. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.
- Hand-scrape moss removal — no high-pressure damage
- Biocide treatment plus 6-month re-spray
- Cracked tiles replaced as we spot them
- Gutter clear-out included
- Before/after photo report
Chester-le-Street context
Chester-le-Street's older stone properties usually have natural slate. The single most useful thing we can do on those roofs is keep valleys and parapet gutters genuinely clear — most 'leaks' here turn out to be overflow events. Regular access via A1(M) and A167.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Stone-faced terraces around the historic centre, plus newer estate housing through Great Lumley and Pelton.
Weather considerations
Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage.

Roof Cleaning in Chester-le-Street — FAQs
Does jet-washing ruin roof tiles?+
Yes — it strips the sand-and-cement coating on concrete tiles and lifts slate edges. We only use soft-method cleans.
How long before the moss comes back?+
12–24 months with the biocide follow-up. Without it, 6–8 months in shaded slopes.
Do you cover all of Chester-le-Street?+
Yes — DH2 – DH3 in full, plus Birtley, Washington, Houghton. Same crew, same day-rate.
