Exterior Cleaning

Considered roof cleaning for a fresher exterior

Roof surfaces collect airborne dirt, leaf matter and organic growth that can gradually change the appearance of the whole property. Felix Property Care assesses the roof material, visible condition and access before recommending a suitable cleaning scope.

Roof condition comes before cleaning intensity

Roofs vary widely in material, age, coating, pitch and condition. A method that suits one surface may be unsuitable for another, so inspection and safe access are essential. We consider fragile sections, nearby solar equipment, drainage paths and surrounding property before confirming what can be cleaned.

Roof cleaning is different from gutter cleaning. Gutters deal with collected debris and drainage channels, while the roof surface itself requires a material-appropriate approach. The two services can be assessed together, and suitable pressure washing can refresh paths below after exterior work is complete.

Cleaning improves surface presentation but does not repair cracked tiles, loose sheets, failed coatings, leaks or structural issues. Existing faults must be disclosed, and any sign of unsafe access can limit or postpone the work. We favour a realistic result over aggressive treatment that could damage an ageing surface.

What the service can include

Every property is different, so the final inclusions are confirmed from your photos, access details and priorities. A typical roof cleaning visit can cover the following agreed tasks.

  • Assessment of the agreed visible roof area
  • A cleaning approach suited to accessible material and condition
  • Care around fixtures and adjacent exterior surfaces
  • Consideration of runoff and areas below the roofline
  • Removal of ordinary loose material generated by the work
  • Final visual review from safely accessible positions

How your booking works

A simple four-step process keeps expectations clear and helps us arrive prepared for the property.

Provide roofline photos

Send views from the ground showing pitch, height, access, extensions, solar panels, vegetation and the areas of concern.

Assess condition and safety

We consider material, age, visible damage, surrounding ground and whether specialist access or repairs are needed first.

Complete the agreed clean

Suitable areas are addressed in controlled sections using a method appropriate to the confirmed surface.

Review surrounding areas

Runoff paths and the immediate work zone are checked, and visible condition issues are noted where practical.

When to request a roof assessment

Changes in appearance do not always mean the same treatment is appropriate. An assessment is worthwhile when:

  • Organic staining is widespread across visible sections
  • Leaf debris is collecting in valleys or around roof features
  • The roofline looks tired before a sale or exterior refresh
  • Gutters and roof surfaces both need attention
  • You are unsure whether an older coating is suitable for cleaning

Move vehicles and outdoor furniture away from likely runoff or work zones, close windows and disclose leaks, repairs, loose material and solar equipment. Arrange gutter cleaning as part of the sequence where needed. Dirty hard surfaces below may then benefit from suitable pressure washing.

Questions people often ask

Can every roof be cleaned?

No. Material, condition, pitch, height and safe access determine whether cleaning is appropriate and what method can be used.

Will cleaning repair leaks?

No. Cleaning and repairs are different services. Known or suspected leaks should be investigated before roof cleaning proceeds.

Is high pressure always used?

No. The appropriate method depends on the roof surface and condition; aggressive pressure can be unsuitable for some materials.
