Restore the Look of Your Home
If you look up at your roof, do you see clean, sharp tiles, or is it covered in a carpet of green moss and lichen? Across the East of England, our damp climate and proximity to the coast create the perfect conditions for moss to thrive. While it might look "rustic" on a cottage, heavy moss growth is actually bad news for your roof.
At Prestige Group, we offer a professional roof cleaning service that restores the natural beauty of your tiles. We strip away years of grime and organic buildup, leaving your home looking instantly brighter and well-cared for. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost the kerb appeal of your property.
More Than Just Cosmetic
Moss is not just an eyesore. It can cause genuine damage to the structure of your roof if left unchecked.
-
Frost Damage: Moss acts like a sponge. It soaks up rainwater and holds it against the surface of the tile. When the temperature drops below freezing, that water expands. This can cause the tiles to crack, flake (spalling), and eventually fail.
-
Blocked Gutters: As moss grows, clumps of it break off and roll down into your guttering. This causes blockages, overflowing water, and potential damp issues on your walls.
-
Tile Displacement: Thick moss can grow between the gaps in tiles, lifting them up and allowing driving rain to get underneath.
The Right Way to Clean a Roof
There is a right way and a wrong way to clean a roof. You might have seen companies offering to "jet wash" your roof. As third-generation roofers, we strongly advise against this. High-pressure water can strip the protective granular coating off your tiles, damage the mortar bedding, and even flood your loft.
We use the Manual Scrape and Biocide method. It is safer, gentler, and more effective in the long run.
-
Manual Removal: We use specialist scraping tools profiled to the exact shape of your tiles. We manually remove the bulk of the moss and debris without using high pressure or harsh abrasives.
-
Gutter Clearance: Once the roof is scraped, we empty and clean your gutters to ensure all the falling moss is removed and your rainwater system is flowing freely.
-
Biocide Treatment: This is the magic step. We apply a professional-grade biocide treatment to the roof. This kills any remaining moss spores, lichen, and algae deep within the pores of the tile.
Long-Lasting Results
The beauty of the biocide treatment is that it keeps working after we have left. Over the following weeks and months, the natural weather cycle will wash away the dead organic matter, revealing the original colour of your tiles.
More importantly, the treatment creates a hostile environment for new moss. It prevents regrowth for years, meaning your roof stays cleaner for much longer than if it had just been pressure washed.
Safe and Tidy
Working on roofs can be dangerous, but our team is fully trained and insured. We use proper access equipment to work safely without damaging your property.
We also know that roof cleaning can be a messy job. That is why we cover your garden, pathways and flowerbeds with tarpaulins before we start. We pride ourselves on being tidy. We will bag up all the moss and take it away with us, leaving your garden just as we found it (only with a much cleaner looking house standing in it!).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had Prestige Roofs carry out a chimney repointing on my house and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The lads were very friendly, professional and polite from start to finish. They explained what needed doing, got the job done efficiently, and left everything tidy afterwards. The workmanship looks excellent and the chimney is now solid and secure again. It’s great to find a team that takes pride in their work and treats customers with respect. I’d definitely recommend Prestige Roofs to anyone needing roofing work done. Brilliant job!

I recently suffered from a leak in my bedroom and was really worried about the condition of my roof. I contacted Prestige Roof Ltd to carry out a full roof MOT on my property, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I got in touch with them, the whole experience was professional and reassuring. The team came out promptly and carried out a very thorough inspection of the roof. They took the time to clearly explain what they were looking at and showed me the areas that had deteriorated. They also explained what a damaged or failing roof looks like, which really helped me understand the problem rather than just being told I needed repairs. After the inspection, they provided me with a fully detailed report along with a clear quotation, which was very helpful and transparent. The office staff were absolutely lovely to deal with—friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The workers who attended the property were fantastic as well. They were polite, respectful, and worked very professionally throughout the visit. Luke, the owner of Prestige Roof Ltd, clearly knows his trade. He took the time to talk everything through with me and made sure I understood what needed to be done. He was very kind, honest, and genuinely made me feel like he cared about helping me solve the problem rather than just doing a job. Overall, I had a brilliant experience with Prestige Roof Ltd. The service was professional, honest, and very thorough from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs roofing advice, an inspection, or repairs. It’s not easy finding trustworthy tradespeople these days, but this company really stands out.

My father-in-law was very impressed with the speed, cleanliness and efficiency of the replacement of the roofing felt at his property. He was kept fully informed at every stage of the process. A minor adjustment was required after a particularly hard deluge of rain, but this has resolved the problem.

I initially received a flyer threw the door and then around a week later I saw two off there vans doing roofing works on the property on my street , I contacted them for a moss removal they gave me a fixed price which was fair . The office got in contact with a date . Today they finished and safe to say they don’t just walk the walk they talk the talk . Thanks to the team in the office and also the team on the roofs .

A request for a roof MOT led to the need for renewal of everything under the tiles. Very prompt arrangements went forward and within a week the team was on site. Very efficient and friendly bunch, leaving no mess behind and on time. Helpful in the office also a bonus. A good experience.

What a wonderful company, extremely efficient and kept my mother informed all the way through, as she had to have her whole roof replaced. The work was carried out quickly with 12 men on site to get the job done. They were very thorough, taking pictures as they worked, to show her everything. The men were very polite and they cleaned up very well after the job was done. Thank you Luke for all your help. Thoroughly recommend this company!
