Areas we cover
Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal across Urmston and nearby
Urmston grew from a village into a commuter town once the railway opened in 1873, and the red-brick Victorian and Edwardian terraces, semis and villas put up in the decades that followed still stand in many parts of the town. Most were roofed in blue slate, with brick chimney stacks and lead flashing that have now seen well over a century of weather.
We are based at 9a Station Road in Urmston, so Flixton, Davyhulme, Stretford and Sale are all a short drive.

FAQ
Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal: common questions
Will cleaning damage my roof?
Not when it is done by hand. We do not use high-pressure washers on tiles or slates.
How long before the moss comes back?
It depends on shade and trees nearby. A biocide treatment slows it down, but no treatment stops moss for good.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the roof, the access and what we find. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation.
