Professional Roof Cleaning Products for All Roof Types - Moss, Algae and Dirt Removal


Roof cleaners form the first critical step in any professional roof maintenance, refurbishment or coating system. Designed to dissolve and dislodge stubborn biological growth, dirt, and industrial fallout, these powerful formulas restore roof surfaces quickly and safely. Products in this range work across all roof types - from tiles, slates and bitumen to rubber membranes and asbestos cement. The right cleaning product ensures surfaces are free of contamination and ready for long-term protection, especially where adhesion of coatings and primers is essential.

Application methods vary to suit the task. Some products require no rinsing and continue working after application, ideal for sensitive roof structures or limited access sites. Others respond well to low-pressure spraying, allowing faster coverage of large or awkward surfaces. Roof cleaners are suitable for use in housing estates, public buildings, industrial units, and commercial estates, offering reliable performance with reduced disruption. These products are especially useful for preparing roofs before applying solar-reflective paints, liquid waterproofing systems, or anti-moss topcoats. Depending on roof condition, one-off or seasonal use is recommended - particularly in damp climates or tree-covered locations. Technical support is available to help specify the right cleaner for each surface, weather condition, or follow-on coating.

Roof Cleaner FAQs


Can I use a roof cleaner on asbestos cement sheets?

Yes, but choose a non-aggressive cleaner compatible with asbestos. Avoid pressure washing. Always follow safety guidelines and containment measures.

Are these cleaners safe for plants and gutters?

Rinse surrounding vegetation with clean water before and after application. Protect gutters and run-off areas to prevent damage or contamination.

How long should I leave the product before applying a roof coating?

It depends on the product used - some require 24–48 hours. Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free from residues before coating.

Do I need specialist PPE when using roof cleaners?

Yes. At minimum, wear gloves, eye protection, and non-slip footwear. Use fall arrest systems when working at height.

Are these products effective against black mould or mildew?

Yes. Many contain biocides effective against a wide range of fungal and microbial growths, including black mildew stains.

Can I use roof cleaners as a preventative treatment?

Yes. Biocidal washes continue to work after application, helping delay the return of moss and algae in damp areas.
