Roof Cleaning — Houghton & DH4 – DH5
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 A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-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

Roof Cleaning in Houghton — 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 Houghton?+
Yes — DH4 – DH5 in full, plus Sunderland, Hetton, Chester-le-Street. Same crew, same day-rate.
