Our roof steam cleaning machine is a professional grade tool that uses heat to remove all moss, lichen, algae, mould and grim from all roofing services. A steam cleaner does use pressure but the main difference between steaming and jet washing is heat vs force.
Does Steam Cleaning Roof Tiles Cause Damage?
If you’re asking the question ‘does steam cleaning roof tiles cause damage’, than the answer is no – if used correctly. Unlike high pressure jet washing, steam cleaning roof tiles is relatively safe and just as effective. Steam is used instead of large quantities of water. It’s usually the best method of cleaning when safety and time are important factors.
A steam cleaner has a high-temperature boiler which heats water to beyond boiling point. This creates steam, which the cleaner then fires at very high pressure onto the surface you want to be cleaned. The combination of heat and pressure is what loosens dirt and cleans. Steam cleaning is done at a very high temperature. The steam acts as a natural sanitiser, and kills off bacteria, germs, and organic materialIn many cases, the surface will be dry in a matter of minutes.
Roof Steam Cleaning Cost
A steam cleaner is the most expensive roof cleaning machine to operate, both in terms of when it’s switched on, and to maintain it over a long period. Therefore, a steam roof cleaning quote is normally a little higher than our soft wash pricing. A small mid-terrace house or semi-detached bungalow can be as low as £500 and completed in a single day. Whereas a larger detached house can be much higher and take several days to be finished to a professional standard.

Our approach utilises careful manual brushing, general manpower, knowledge and a chemical treatment. The outcome is both visually pleasing and very practical from preventive perspective regarding roofing damage.
Best Time of Year to Remove Moss from Roof Tiles
The best time of year to remove moss from roof tiles on your residential home depends on necessity. Summer is the easiest time to clean a roof from our perspective, but often Winter is the most necessary time. Bad weather makes a moss problem become a wider problem – overflowing gutters, flying onto the ground, loose tiles, leaks, internal damp etc.
