Roof Clean
"Harry did a fantastic job cleaning our roof and gutters. The roof had a lot of moss on it and was making the whole house look old, but it looks so much better now. Great communication, turned up on time and left everything tidy afterwards. Would definitely recommend Pure Shine."

Roof & Gutter Clean
"Pure Shine gets a pure 10/10 from me. Harry came round to my house and was on the ball with giving me a quote for getting my roof cleaned and I was very pleased with the price. We arranged a date and right on time the team showed up and cracked on. I can't believe how good they got my property looking."

Roof Clean
A professional roof clean is not just about appearance. It is a smart investment in protecting your home.
Moss and lichen slowly destroy tile surfaces. Removing them adds years to your roof's life and delays costly replacements.
Blocked moss traps moisture under tiles, leading to leaks and damp. A clean roof channels water properly and protects your home.
We apply a specialist biocide that kills spores at the root and leaves a protective barrier preventing regrowth for years.
A clean, moss-free roof dramatically improves the look of your whole property. A key factor if you plan to sell.
We use a controlled low-pressure wash that is tough on moss and lichen but gentle on fragile tiles, avoiding any damage.
Our team uses professional safety equipment when working at height. We are fully insured, giving you complete peace of mind.
A simple, professional process from first contact to a fully restored and protected roof.

The questions Essex homeowners ask us most often. If yours is not here, just call or message, we are happy to help.
Most standard 3-bedroom semi-detached roofs in Essex fall between £600 and £800 for a full clean and biocide treatment. Larger detached houses, bungalows with extensions or very heavy moss coverage may be more. We always give a clear, fixed-price quote before any work starts. Never an hourly rate and never a surprise bill.
No. We use a controlled soft-wash / low-pressure method specifically designed for roof tiles. It lifts moss, algae and lichen without stripping the surface or knocking tiles loose. Traditional high-pressure jet washing can damage tiles, so we never use it on roofs.
A typical Essex semi takes half a day to a full day depending on the level of moss. Most jobs we start and finish in a single visit, so there is no ongoing disruption.
Our specialist biocide typically keeps roofs clear of moss and algae for 2 to 5 years depending on location, tree cover and weather exposure. We also offer a 2-year guarantee on the biocide treatment for total peace of mind.
Only if we need access to your back garden or a water tap. Otherwise, no. Many of our Essex customers are at work while we clean the roof. We send a clear arrival window and update you when we are on the way.
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance up to £5 million. Working at height on a roof should always be done by an insured professional. We are happy to provide our certificate on request.
We can normally survey and quote within 24 hours, and most jobs are booked in within 1 to 2 weeks. Got a deadline (for example, putting the house on the market)? Let us know and we will do our best to fit you in.
Light rain is fine for most roof work. If the weather is genuinely unsafe, we simply rebook free of charge. We would rather reschedule than do a rushed job.
