Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal
Is your roof looking a bit green? Moss buildup isn't just unsightly; it can hold moisture against your tiles and block your gutters. We offer a professional roof cleaning service that gently removes moss and algae, restoring the look of your roof and helping to extend its lifespan without damaging the tiles.

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 Norfolk, 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 Roof, 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!).

If you are tired of worrying about the state of your tiles, give the team in the pink vans a call. We will pop round, assess the roof, and give you a clear, honest quote to get it looking like new again.

We needed a tile replacing, the lady answered the phone so professionally and politely and was friendly throughout our conversation. She booked the appointment and told me what would happen, the tile was replaced and several others by Luke who was very friendly and professional, very pleased with the service and we would thoroughly recommend Prestige Roofs.

After many years of suffering roof drainage/water leaks from a sunlounge joined onto a house ( & numerous contractors) we appear to have had it solved by Prestige Roof Ltd. They came up with proposals for an innovative roof/drainage system & talked us through all the stages with the help of AI generated images. The result? An excellent job completed with 2 Velux roof lights by a team of roofers,plasterers & decorator ,people who knew their jobs & even cleared up afterwards! And all with a 10 year guarantee. On completion we were presented with photos taken prior to the task & then photos of the completed project. Thank you again Prestige Roof Ltd. We would certainly recommend you to people seeking a company to solve any roof problems.

Prestige Roofing did an outstanding job with the spray foam removal. The team was professional, punctual, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently, left everything clean and tidy, and the quality of their work was excellent. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Prestige Roofing to anyone needing spray foam removal. Excellent service from start to finish!

Fast and efficient service, this must have been a one off? from quote to completion, including scaffolding 3 days. Inspection and quote on Wednesday, scaffold arrived Thursday and job started and finished on Friday. This was for new roof membrane, new battens cleaned and replaced tiles, as well as a complete new flat roof rubber covering and lagged loft as well for good measure. Left early Friday evening and apart from the skip of rubbish I would not have know they had been, all clean and tidy as promised. A big thank you to James and his crew for an excellent 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.
