Roof cleaning questions
Answers to common questions about roof cleaning in Southampton.
Common questions
Do you clean roofs yourselves?+
No — we're an independent referral service. Local installers who cover your area carry out any work, and you deal with them directly from the first phone call onward.
Is there a cost to use this site?+
No, it's free for homeowners. The service is funded by installers on the other side, some of whom pay a referral fee when a job is passed to them.
How much does roof cleaning typically cost?+
It varies with the size and pitch of the roof, access, and how much growth needs removing, so we can't give a figure upfront. Ask the installer for a written quote once they've had a look.
How do I know the installer is any good?+
We'd encourage you to ask directly about their experience, check their own insurance and any trade credentials, and look into them yourself before agreeing to anything — we introduce you, but the choice to proceed is yours.
What areas do you cover around Southampton?+
Southampton itself plus the surrounding towns and villages — see the areas page for the full list, from Eastleigh and Fareham to the smaller villages around the Hamble and Southampton Water.
Will I be contacted by more than one installer?+
Normally your enquiry goes to one local installer covering your area, not several competing for the job.
Do you cover gutter cleaning as well as roof cleaning?+
Yes — gutter cleaning, roof moss removal and conservatory roof cleaning are all covered. Mention what you need when you get in touch.
What's the difference between moss removal and a general roof clean?+
A general clean covers algae, lichen and grime as well as moss, while moss removal focuses specifically on scraping off and treating moss. In practice the two are often done together.
Do I have to accept the quote I'm given?+
No, there's no obligation to proceed. You're free to compare the quote against others before deciding what to do.
