Most roofing problems can be resolved with targeted repairs rather than a full replacement. If your roof is over 50 years old, has widespread deterioration across multiple areas, or repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost, we may advise replacement. However, we always provide honest, impartial advice and will never recommend more work than is genuinely needed.

Most home insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs, but the specific terms vary between policies. We work with all major home insurers and can provide a detailed written damage report, photographs, and repair estimates to support your claim. We can also liaise directly with loss adjusters on your behalf.

A standard residential roof clean typically takes 4–8 hours depending on the size of the roof and the extent of moss and algae growth. Larger properties or roofs with very heavy growth may require a full day. We will give you an accurate time estimate when quoting.

No. High-pressure washing can damage natural slate by widening hairline cracks, dislodging nail fixings, and disturbing the surface texture. For slate roofs, we always use low-pressure soft wash techniques combined with specialist biocidal treatments, which are both safer and more effective.

A professionally applied biocide treatment after roof cleaning typically inhibits moss and algae regrowth for 5–10 years in Liverpool's climate. The exact duration depends on the roof's orientation, surrounding trees, and local rainfall patterns. North-facing slopes in sheltered positions may need retreating sooner than exposed south-facing roofs.

Pricing depends on roof size, access, and the extent of moss or algae growth. A standard semi-detached typically costs £250–£500 for a full clean with biocide treatment. Soft washing, steam cleaning, and specialist slate or tile cleaning are priced at the same range — we always recommend the safest method for your specific roof type. Minor roof repairs start from £150. We provide free, detailed written quotes before any work begins.

For larger projects, we can discuss staged payment options. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we will do our best to find a payment arrangement that works for you.
