Avoid Bad Irreversible Roof Damage that is Expensive & Emotionally Damaging. Don’t Fall for Rogue Traders and their Unreasonably Low Jet Wash Prices
Here’s 7 reasons why unnecessary high pressure jet washing shouldn’t be used instead of soft wash roof cleaning:
- In many cases it voids your roof tile manufacturers warranty. Any pressure over 1,200psi can cause irreparable damage to some roofs because of their construction or current condition (psi is ‘pressure per square inch’ and measures a unit of stress)
- Damages roof underlayment if their is pre-existing damage to roof. This creates more opportunity for leaks to happen (Another reason why window cleaners and other non roofers shouldn’t be hired to complete a roof clean)
- Loosens waterproofing flashings if machine used incorrectly. Loose flashings will allow water to leak in causing water degradation and damp.
- Diminishes tile surfaces by creating an etched tile. This means there are deeper crevices in the tile, making it easier for algae to grow, which will hasten the need for a another roof clean in the future!
- Creates mess on the day of the clean. We always clean up after our work but some tradesman can not be trusted to minimise and then remove all mess from a jet spray.
- Can sometimes change the general colour of the roof. High pressure jet wash on some roofs will lead to duller, often white roof tiles months or years after the clean. This is rarely the ‘freshen up’ experience our customers are hoping for
- Last but not least, pressure washing is often the sole method used by non-roofing experts. Window cleaners, gutter cleaners and have-a-go-roof-cleaners have spotted an opportunity to make a quick buck – or so they think. The reality is that roof cleaning mistakes are costly to the tradesman. It’s better to know how to avoid these mistakes but also be skilled enough to rectify unfortunate worst case scenarios. At British Roof Cleaning we know how to carry out all roofing activities should the universe be conspiring against us!

Tile manufacturers like Marley have succinctly answered the question of pressure washing by simply saying no. Not all roofs are made using Marley tiles though. Sites like ‘Roof Coating Scam‘ are very black and white on the issue of pressure washing. The word ‘never’ is used many times. We believe that a minority of roofs are suitable for pressure washing but most aren’t.
Sometimes a pressure wash is essential. For example, if you wish to paint your roof to upgrade or change the colour, a pressure wash must be completed first immediately before applying the new coating. The good news is the most proven coating products will add a fresh layers of protection to the tiles
