Softwashing roof cleaning offers a very thorough, deep clean. It won’t damage or dislodge roof tiles, or degrade even delicate stonework. It’s safe and effective.
Softwashing roof cleaning services, an alternative to pressure washing
Roofs can become very unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen, an dhtis is when roof cleaning servies are required. Roofs are also frequently discoloured and stained by a prevalent bacteria called geocapsa magma. Roofing associations and manufacturers do not recommend high pressure cleaning to clean roofs, and Softwashing UK are proud to offer rood cleaning services that are an alternative to pressure washing. High pressure cleaning may remove moss from the roof, but the aggressive jets of water may remove and damage tiles and other roof fittings, risk flooding a loft, and there is a good chance that the moss will grow back. Cleaning with the manufacturer recommended detergent is suggested. This is what we do at Softwashing UK. Softwash roof cleaning is by far the most effective way to clear moss or other infectants from the roof, whenever they are at risk of becoming a major problem.
First we will inspect your roof and identify any areas in need of repair. We will remove the excess mossy growth and lichen using special extendable trowels and hoes, and water fed poles. All our staff are trained, qualified, and insured, to work at height. Having removed up to 90% of the visible growth first we will then apply our softwash detergent blends to kill of the lingering spores and bacteria. We eliminate gloecapsa magma completely. Our blends of disinfectants will purge the roof of organic colonising growths by seeping into the moss root system and killing the spores, leaving the roof not only clean, but you’ll notice the improvements as time passes. We will also clean guttering and and shine your fascias while cleaning a roof.
Softwashing UK will clean, rescue, and restore your roof, with no chance of damage- and the results will last for months and years to come.
We also offer designated industrial roof cleaning services.

Roof surfaces across the UK are exposed to the elements daily, making them vulnerable to staining and discolouration caused by algae, moss, lichen, and general grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional roof cleaning using specialist soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to harsh pressure washing.
Specialised Soft Wash Technology
Unlike high-pressure cleaning, which can damage roofing materials such as tiles or shingles, our low-pressure soft wash system uses biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate deep into the roof surface. This method safely kills algae, moss, and organic growth at the root without causing damage.
Longer-Lasting Results
Our soft washing doesn’t just make your roof look clean — it prevents the return of organic growth by eliminating spores and bacteria. This means your roof stays cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent treatments.
Moss, Lichen & Algae Control
We don’t just clean — we treat. Our softwash solution includes a biocidal treatment that destroys moss, algae, and lichen at the source, ensuring your roof remains clear and protected from recurring growth.
Gentle on Surfaces, Tough on Grime
High-pressure washing can severely damage roofing materials by stripping protective coatings or loosening tiles. Our soft wash method is gentle enough to protect fragile or aging roofs while being powerful enough to tackle years of staining and biological contamination.
