Why We Scrape Roofs Instead Of Pressure Wash

A pressure washer is a quick way to clean a roof. However, it can also damage your tiles.

  • Tiles do not get cracked or dislodged - High pressure can crack a tile and knock it out of place. Scraping cannot.

  • No water forced under the tiles - Blasting drives water beneath the laps, into the felt and battens underneath.

  • The moss comes out of the valleys too - Working across the roof by hand gets into the valleys and ridges where moss holds. A blast just skims the surface.

Before And After

Every roof below was scraped by hand, never pressure washed.

What Homeowners Say About The Finish

“I wasn’t expecting the roof to come up as well as it did”

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the roof to come up as well as it did. There was moss everywhere beforehand and now it looks so much better. Patrick was friendly, explained what they were doing and kept us updated throughout.

Vincent Graham · July 2026

“The finish is superb and our roof has never looked better”

We contacted several companies but Sky Scrapers stood out because they explained why pressure washing can damage roof tiles. Their knowledge gave us confidence and we’re so pleased we chose them. The finish is superb and our roof has never looked better.

Marshall Whiting · July 2026

“An excellent result without damaging the tiles”

We were extremely impressed with the service provided by Sky Scrapers. Communication was excellent, the quotation was clear and the work was completed with great care and attention to detail. The manual cleaning method produced an excellent result without damaging the tiles.

Why Homeowners Choose Sky Scrapers

What you get on every roof clean, as standard.

Broken tiles fixed free

Cracked, chipped or slipped tiles replaced or repaired while we are up there, up to ten of them, at no extra cost.

24 month biocide guarantee

If moss comes back within 24 months, send us a photo. If it needs it, we come back and re-treat it.

Free site visits

Most roofs are quoted in person. If yours needs seeing before we can price it properly, the visit costs nothing.

No scaffolding on most cleans

Nearly every roof clean is done off ladders, so there is no scaffolding to pay for. Repair jobs can be different.

Fully insured and local

A local family team working across Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties, fully insured for every job at height.

Nothing left behind

We clear up fully before we leave. You would never know we had been, other than the roof looking like new.

Our Process

A careful, methodical approach designed to protect your roof and your property.

  1. 01

    Your free written quote

    Tell us about your roof and we come back with a written price and the work spelled out. No obligation.

  2. 02

    Moss scraped off

    We work across the roof tile by tile, scraping the moss and debris off with hand tools rather than a pressure washer.

  3. 03

    Softwash treatment

    A low pressure softwash lifts the black organic staining that scraping alone leaves behind.

  4. 04

    Biocide and tidy up

    A professional biocide goes on to slow the regrowth, then everything that came off your roof gets cleared away.

More From Our Customers

“Bringing my roof back to its original colour”

Patrick did an amazing job bringing my roof back to its original colour. Some of my tiles where broken but that wasn’t a problem for Patrick, restored and repaired. Thank you

Adrian Nytko · July 2026

“No hidden extras when the invoice come through”

Cannot fault these at all. From initial phone call to work being carried out. Everything was clear from the get go, arrived on time and no hidden extras when the invoice come through. Highly recommended

Questions Homeowners Ask

Will cleaning damage my roof tiles?

That is the fear a pressure washer creates. It is a fair one, so we do not use one. The moss is scraped off by hand, tile by tile, so nothing is blasted and no water is forced under the laps.

Do you use a pressure washer at any point?

No. The moss and debris are scraped off by hand. The softwash that follows is a low pressure treatment, which is a different thing entirely from jetting a roof.

What does roof cleaning cost?

It depends on the size of the roof, the pitch and how much moss is on it, so there is no single number worth quoting. You get a written price with the work spelled out, free and with no obligation.

What if my roof turns out not to need cleaning?

We tell you straight and there is nothing to pay. We would rather say so than take the job.

Will the moss come back?

Moss grows back on any roof eventually. The professional biocide we apply at the end of the clean is there to slow that down, which is why it is part of every job rather than an extra.

What happens to all the moss that comes off?

It gets cleared away before we leave. Tidy set-up, tidy finish, every time.

What areas do you cover?

Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. If you are just outside, ask anyway.

Do you clean gutters and fascias too?

Yes. Gutters and fascias are one of our services. They are worth doing at the same time while the access is already set up.

Always Tidy When We Leave

“My main concern was the mess from all the moss”

My main concern was the mess from all the moss coming off the roof, but I needn’t have worried. The team cleaned the gutters, driveway, paths and garden thoroughly afterwards.

Clayton Simpson · August 2026

“My neighbours are all now asking me where I got it done”

Thoroughly recommend. From start to finish comms from Pat were great, arrived on time, did a fantastic job for a reasonable price and left the place spotless once they were completed. My neighbours are all now asking me where I got it done!
