We contacted the service about a roofing issue at our home and he came out the very next day to take a look. Even though the job was small, he was willing to take it on without hesitation. The work was handled professionally and in a timely manner. It’s not always easy to find someone who responds quickly and is willing to help with smaller projects. Highly recommended!

Roof cleaning in High Wycombe: moss off, tiles checked, gutters cleared
Roof cleaning in High Wycombe for roofs green with moss: we clear the moss and lichen, clean the tiles, replace any we find broken and clear the gutters after. Ring 01494 292776 for a free quote.
Moss loves a Chiltern roof. North-facing slopes under the beech trees of the valleys stay damp all winter, and moss grows thick across the tiles, lifts their edges and holds water against them. Frost then cracks the tiles, and the moss washes down and blocks the gutters.
Our own photos show the job: a red tiled roof being cleaned with a pressure washer lance, the moss and dirt coming off course by course. We scrape the heavy moss first, clean the tiles, then clear everything that has come down out of the gutters and downpipes.
Because a roofer does the cleaning, any cracked or slipped tiles found under the moss are shown to you and replaced, so you get back a roof that sheds water the way it was built to.
What is included
- Heavy moss scraped off by hand
- Tiles cleaned course by course
- Ridge, hips and valleys cleared
- Cracked and slipped tiles replaced
- Gutters and downpipes cleared after

Signs you need this

Roof cleaning: your questions answered
How much does roof cleaning cost in High Wycombe?
Moss removal and a clean with the gutters cleared runs about £400 to £900 on a semi around High Wycombe, more on a detached house or a steep roof.
Is moss bad for a roof?
Yes. It holds water against the tiles, frost then cracks them, and the moss blocks the gutters when it washes down.
Do you replace broken tiles while you are up there?
Yes. Any cracked or slipped tiles we find are shown to you and replaced.
How often does a roof need cleaning?
A roof under trees or facing north needs a clean every few years. An open, south-facing roof goes much longer.
Do you clear the gutters as part of it?
Yes. Everything that comes off the roof ends up in the gutters, so we clear them and the downpipes as part of the job.

Really good team of guys had my roof repair in one day
Safetech Roofing completed a number of repairs to the roof and loft space in my house, as well as the installation of an internal support element for a partially removed chimney stack. The work was done to a very high standard and at the agreed quotation, which was good value. A council building control officer then inspected and passed the structural element of the works. When some queries were raised by building control, Safetech went above and beyond to help resolve them. The suggestions made by Safetech and their team all the way through were extremely knowledgeable and practical. They also actively discouraged me from carrying out unnecessary expensive work, and instead suggested a lower cost, simpler solution, which the building control officer then agreed with. Additionally, the scaffolding had to be left in place far, far longer than expected - this was due to delays on my side and Pat generously didn’t charge extra for this
I recently had a complete new re-roof done by Safe Tech Roofing, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, their professionalism was spot on. They explained everything clearly, provided a fair and detailed quote, and stuck to the agreed timescale. The team worked incredibly hard, kept the site clean and organised, and showed real attention to detail throughout the entire job. The quality of workmanship is excellent, the new roof looks fantastic and gives me complete peace of mind knowing it’s been done properly. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. Reliable, skilled, and trustworthy, I would highly recommend Safe Tech Roofing to anyone needing roofing work done. Top company. Top job.

I engaged Safetech Roofing to undertake the re-pointing and removal/replacement of the lead flashing around my chimney which was leaking. Since the work has been completed the leak has been fixed. Pat and his team were reliable, professional and were able to fit me in at short notice. I’m very pleased with the work they’ve carried out and would highly recommend.
