With over 25 years of experience in exterior cleaning and roof maintenance, our team can advise on the most suitable cleaning method for your property, whether that be steam cleaning, manual moss removal or a combination of both.
Why Choose Steam Roof Cleaning?
Unlike traditional pressure washing, steam cleaning uses heat rather than excessive force to break down and remove biological growth from roof surfaces.
This allows us to achieve outstanding cleaning results whilst reducing the risks often associated with high-pressure cleaning methods.
Steam cleaning is particularly effective at removing:
• Moss
• Algae
• Lichen
• Black staining
• Atmospheric pollution
• Surface dirt and grime
The result is a cleaner, brighter roof with immediate visual improvement and a professional finish.
Many customers choose steam cleaning because it provides the visual benefits of pressure washing whilst remaining significantly gentler on the roof surface.
Steam Cleaning vs Manual Moss Removal vs Pressure Washing
Not all roof cleaning methods are the same. At Drone Exterior Solutions Ltd, we offer both steam roof cleaning and manual moss removal because every roof is different.
The table below explains the key differences between the three most common roof cleaning methods.
| Feature | Steam Cleaning | Manual Moss Removal | Pressure Washing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Immediate visual results | Excellent | Moderate | Excellent |
| Moss removal | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent |
| Algae & lichen removal | Excellent | Good | Excellent |
| Low pressure process | Yes | Yes | No |
| Gentle on roof surfaces | Yes | Yes | Can be if carried out correctly |
| Suitable for older roofs | Yes | Yes | Depends on roof condition |
| Removes staining immediately | Yes | No | Yes |
| Reduced roof access required | Often | No | Depends on method |
| Water consumption | Low | Very Low | High |
Steam cleaning offers the best balance between immediate visual results and a gentle cleaning process. The super-heated water effectively removes moss, algae, lichen and staining whilst operating at significantly lower pressure than traditional pressure washing systems.
Manual moss removal remains an excellent option for roofs with heavy moss growth or where customers prefer a completely non-pressure cleaning method. Once the moss has been removed, a professional treatment can be applied to help inhibit future growth.
Traditional pressure washing can provide fast results but is not suitable for every roof and should only be carried out by experienced professionals using the correct equipment and techniques.
Our Steam Roof Cleaning Process
Every roof cleaning project begins with a detailed assessment of the roof condition and surrounding areas.
Step 1 – Roof Inspection
We inspect the roof for slipped tiles, damaged pointing, defective flashing and any maintenance issues that may require attention before cleaning begins.
Step 2 – Site Preparation
Gutters, downpipes and surrounding areas are prepared and protected where necessary.
Step 3 – Steam Cleaning
Using our specialist steam cleaning system, moss, algae, lichen and surface contamination are carefully removed from the roof.
Step 4 – Gutter Clearance
All accessible gutters are cleared of moss and debris generated during the cleaning process.
Step 5 – Final Inspection
Once complete, the roof is inspected and photographs can be provided showing the transformation.
Benefits of Professional Steam Roof Cleaning
Steam roof cleaning is becoming one of the most popular roof restoration methods throughout the UK due to its ability to deliver outstanding results whilst remaining gentle on roof surfaces.
Benefits of professional steam roof cleaning include:
Extends The Appearance Of Your Roof
Moss, algae and lichen can make even a well-maintained property appear neglected. Steam cleaning restores the natural appearance of roof tiles, improving kerb appeal and helping your property look well cared for.
Removes Moss, Algae & Lichen
Biological growth can retain moisture and accelerate the deterioration of roof surfaces over time. Steam cleaning effectively removes these contaminants and leaves the roof looking clean and refreshed.
Low Pressure Cleaning Method
Unlike traditional pressure washing, steam cleaning relies on heat rather than excessive force, making it a safer option for many roof types.
Immediate Visual Results
One of the biggest advantages of steam cleaning is the instant transformation. Customers can see a dramatic improvement in the appearance of their roof on the day the work is completed.
