Hetton Roof Cleaning
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 A182, through Easington Lane and Eppleton.
- 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
Hetton context
Hetton's older terraces share a common problem: original ridge mortar from the 1970s or 1980s is now well past its useful life and freezes apart most winters. Planned ridge replacement is far cheaper than the repeat repair cycle. Regular access via A182 and B1404.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Compact ex-colliery terraces and 1970s estate housing on the surrounding fringes.

Roof Cleaning in Hetton — 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 Hetton?+
Yes — DH5 in full, plus Houghton, Peterlee, Murton. Same crew, same day-rate.
