Your roof is one of the most important – and expensive – parts of your property. When moss, algae and lichen are left untreated, they trap moisture, dislodge tiles and accelerate long-term deterioration.
At Skyhawk Exterior Cleaning, we provide professional roof cleaning services across Sussex and Surrey, specialising in precision manual moss removal, controlled low-pressure cleaning and specialist soft wash treatments. Our approach restores your roof’s appearance while protecting its structure and extending its lifespan.
Moss growth:
Holds moisture against tiles
Causes cracking and surface erosion
Blocks gutters and downpipes
Leads to damp, leaks and costly repairs
Our roof cleaning service is designed to extend the lifespan of your roof, improve kerb appeal and prevent unnecessary replacement costs.
High-pressure washing can permanently damage tiles, strip protective coatings and force water beneath the roof structure — leading to costly long-term issues.
However, controlled low-pressure washing can be safe and effective when used correctly and combined with proper preparation and treatment.
That’s why our process includes:
This approach delivers immediate visual improvement and long-lasting protection — without unnecessary risk
Every roof cleaning project begins with a thorough inspection, allowing us to assess the roof type, level of moss growth and access requirements before any work starts. We then carry out manual moss removal by hand, avoiding the use of pressure washing and protecting the integrity of your tiles.

Roof cleaning delivers some of the most dramatic before-and-after results of any exterior service.
Really good communications with Chris and his team. Prompt appointment and work carried out with care and efficiency. Our gutters hadn’t been cleaned & cleared for a few years but all came up looking good. Money well spent.
Skyhawk have done a fantastic job with our roof. Great communication, v reasonably priced and our roof now looks brand new! Highly recommend!
Due to weather conditions they couldn’t come on the booked day, so the boss himself came on a Sunday to make sure the job was done 👍
Excellent!! The team are really informative and took the time to explain everything building trust from the start. Great customer service and care. 10/10 from me.
Our roof looks brand new! The guys worked in very challenging conditions (rain and wind) to get it all done.
We provide pressure washing services throughout:
Crawley, Horsham, East Grinstead, Redhill, Reigate, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Brighton & surrounding Sussex and Surrey areas.
Our biocide treatment typically prevents moss regrowth for 3–5 years, depending on conditions.
No — when carried out correctly, roof cleaning should not damage your tiles.
We do not use aggressive high-pressure washing on roofs. Instead, we use precision manual moss removal, controlled low-pressure cleaning where appropriate, and specialist treatments tailored to your specific roof type.
Our methods are designed to protect tile integrity while safely removing moss, algae and organic growth. Every roof is assessed beforehand to ensure the safest and most suitable approach is used.
Roof cleaning can create debris, particularly during moss removal. However, we take extensive steps to manage and minimise mess throughout the process.
We use controlled methods to prevent unnecessary spread, clear gutters as part of the service, and carry out a full clean-up of the surrounding areas once the work is complete.
If any neighbouring properties are affected, we will inform them and ensure any debris on their side is properly cleared.
Our aim is to leave your property — and the surrounding area — clean, tidy and respected.
Yes, including concrete, clay and slate tiles (subject to inspection).
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance options to help keep your roof and exterior surfaces in good condition long-term.
Following an initial clean, we can provide periodic inspections and retreatments where necessary to prevent heavy moss and algae build-up from returning. This helps protect your property, maintain its appearance and avoid the need for more intensive cleaning in the future.
Maintenance recommendations will depend on your roof type, surrounding trees and environmental conditions, and we’re happy to advise on what’s most suitable for your property.
If there are any broken, cracked or missing tiles hidden beneath moss and debris, our cleaning process may reveal them. Roof cleaning does not cause underlying defects, but it can expose pre-existing issues that were previously concealed by moss growth.
If we identify any concerns, we will photograph and document them and provide clear feedback once the work is complete. Should repairs be required, we can recommend trusted local roofing contractors to carry out any necessary remedial work.
