Roof 360°
Over time roofs collect moss, algae and debris.
Many roofs don’t need replacing. In many cases they simply need the right restoration approach.
At Exterior360 Ltd, we restore roofs using safe professional methods that protect the tiles and the structure of the roof.
We offer two main methods depending on the property and the homeowner’s preference:
- Dry scrape roof restoration with biocide treatment
- Low-pressure roof steam cleaning
Our aim is simple — restore the roof properly while protecting the tiles and the property.
We regularly carry out roof restoration across Essex including Maldon, Burnham-on-Crouch, Mersea Island, Tiptree, Witham, Chelmsford, Colchester, South Woodham Ferrers, Wickford, Brentwood, Basildon and Southend, along with many surrounding villages.
Dry Roof Restoration
Dry Scrape + Biocide Treatment
This is a method we are using more and more often, especially where homeowners want the roof to keep a natural appearance.
Moss is carefully dry scraped by hand using specialist tools shaped to match the roof tiles.
Because we work from a spider lift, we can see the roof clearly and remove moss properly.
As we work, debris is blown away so we can clearly see the tiles and inspect our work.
Once complete, we apply a professional biocide treatment which kills remaining spores and slows moss regrowth.
Safe Roof Steam Cleaning
Some homeowners prefer their roof to look as clean as possible immediately. In these cases we use controlled roof steam cleaning.
Steam cleaning uses low pressure and heat rather than aggressive pressure washing.
Our system normally operates between 60–80 bar, far lower than traditional pressure washing. The system can reach around 150°C, although we usually operate around 100°C, which provides excellent cleaning while maintaining good visibility.
Our Steam Cleaning Equipment
Our system is mounted on a custom-built trailer designed specifically for roof steam cleaning.
The trailer carries everything needed for the job, so we simply pull up, connect to your water supply and begin work.
Because the equipment remains on the trailer, there are no machines scattered across your lawn or driveway.
The system allows two operators to work continuously, helping the work move along efficiently.
Solar Panel Cleaning
If your roof has solar panels, they are cleaned carefully by hand.
Working from the spider lift allows us to clean around the frames and remove bird mess or dirt properly.
Solar panels are included within the roof price rather than charged separately.
We can also install solar panel bird proofing if required.
Safe Access - Why We Use Spider Lifts
At Exterior 360° Ltd we never walk across roofs.
Walking on tiles can weaken them and increase the risk of damage.
Instead we use a spider lift, which allows us to work safely and see the roof properly.
When roofs are cleaned from gutter height or scaffolding it is often impossible to see the three or four rows of tiles just below the ridge.
From the ground they can look clean, but when viewed properly they often still contain moss.
Working from a spider lift allows us to see the tiles face-to-face, ensuring nothing is missed.

Roof Repairs
During the survey we inspect the roof carefully.
Minor repairs such as replacing individual tiles can often be carried out during the restoration.
If larger repairs are needed we will explain the options clearly before any work begins.
Roof Improvements & Protection
Homeowners can also protect their roof after restoration.
Options include:
- Copper ridge moss protection
- Dry ridge systems
- Solar panel bird proofing

These systems help extend the life of the roof and reduce future moss growth.
Building Exterior Restoration`
Exterior360 Ltd also restores other exterior surfaces including:

Some surfaces are cleaned using soft washing, which avoids pressure entirely.
We also provide exterior painting and spray coatings where required.

Resiblock Superior also comes with a manufacturer guarantee against oil stains.

Roof Advice & Common Questions
How much does roof moss removal cost?
Roof moss removal costs vary depending on roof size, pitch, access and the amount of moss present. Many homeowners can receive a guide estimate before a full inspection is carried out.
Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?
When the correct methods are used, roof cleaning should not damage tiles. Professional restoration focuses on protecting the roof while removing moss and debris safely.
Is moss bad for roof tiles?
Yes. Moss holds moisture against roof tiles, which can lead to deterioration over time if left untreated.
How do professionals remove moss from roofs?
Professional roof restoration usually involves carefully removing moss, inspecting tiles and cleaning the roof using controlled equipment suited to the roof condition.
How long does roof moss removal last?
Results often last several years depending on the surrounding environment and roof conditions.
Do you inspect the roof while cleaning it?
Yes. During restoration work the roof is inspected for damaged or loose tiles and other potential issues.
Do you need scaffolding for roof cleaning?
Some companies use scaffolding, while others use access platforms or spider lifts to work safely at roof level.
Will moss removal create a mess in the garden?
Some debris may fall during the removal process, but surrounding areas are always cleared once the work is complete.
How long does roof restoration take?
Many residential roofs can be restored within one day depending on size, access and moss levels.
Can moss cause roof damage?
Yes. Moss holds moisture and can gradually weaken the surface of roof tiles if left untreated.
What is the safest way to remove moss from a roof?
The safest approach is professional removal using controlled equipment and safe access systems.
Will moss grow back after cleaning?
Moss can eventually return over time, especially in shaded areas, but prevention systems can help slow regrowth.
