Roof Cleaning Services in East Grinstead
f your roof in East Grinstead is covered in moss, algae, or lichen, you’re not alone — the damp local climate makes it a common issue. At Skyhawk Exterior Cleaning, we provide safe alternatives to traditional high-pressure washing, offering methods that protect your roof while delivering lasting results.
We offer two options depending on your roof type:
-
Manual Moss Removal & Biocide Treatment – Moss is gently scraped away using specialist tools on telescopic poles, followed by a biocide application that kills spores at the root to help prevent regrowth.
-
Low-Pressure Washing & Biocide Treatment – Using carbon fibre poles, flat-surface cleaners, and targeted nozzles, this method delivers instant results while remaining far safer than jet washing. A biocide treatment is then applied for long-term protection.
We’re more than just a cleaning company — with a background in roofing, we know how to work safely and effectively on every roof type. That means no shortcuts, no damage, and no hidden risks — just professional roof cleaning you can rely on.
Why a Clean Roof Matters
Moss might seem harmless, but it holds on to moisture and can damage your roof over time. Left untreated, it can:
-
Crack or lift roof tiles
-
Block gutters and downpipes
-
Soak into underlay and cause damp
-
Lead to expensive repairs
Cleaning your roof is more than just making it look good — it protects your home and helps it last longer.
Our Process: Moss Removal Without the Damage
Step 1 – Scraping by Hand or Low Pressure Washing
We can offer two safe and effective options for cleaning your roof:
-
Manual Scraping – Using specialist blades on long telescopic poles, we carefully remove moss, dirt, and debris by hand. This method is recommended for older or more delicate roofs to protect the tiles and underlay.
-
Low-Pressure Washing – Using our carbon fibre poles, roof flat-surface cleaner, and a turbo nozzle for more intricate areas, this method delivers instant results while remaining far safer than walking on the roof with a traditional pressure lance. By cleaning from the ground or scaffold, we minimise the risk of water intrusion under tiles and avoid unnecessary damage.
Both methods are designed to protect your roof while delivering great results — we’ll always recommend the most suitable approach for your property.
Step 2 – Biocide Treatment
After scraping, we apply Bac50 biocide (or another HSE-approved treatment), which kills remaining spores and prevents moss from growing back. Over time, your roof continues to brighten naturally, with no further work needed.
This method is far safer and longer-lasting than pressure washing, which can loosen tiles and even cause leaks.

Just had "Skyhawk Exterior Cleaning" company clean out the gutters on my house. The workers were friendly and polite, and extremely efficient. Work was completed quickly and with no fuss. 30 October 2025, 17:36hours

I posted an ad on Check a Trade for gutter cleaning, and skyhawk were the first and cheapest to get in touch. From then on they have been easy to contact, and respond quickly to messages. They came exactly when they said they would, and gave us a text to let us know they were 20 mins away. Job was done quickly and efficiently. Five stars, would definitely recommend!

Excellent work, really pleased with the finished result. Moss has been removed and roof tiles cleaned - quite a contrast from before. Work was carried out efficiently and I was kept informed as to what they were doing. Everything was cleaned up after the work. A great job.

From the first communication, through to quote and job on the day, Chris, Craig and their team were absolutely fantastic. They did a great job on the full exterior clean of gutters, fascia, railings, walls and roof. The house is a new colour!
