Roof Cleaning Services
At Building Extensions, we believe a clean roof does far more than improve appearances. It protects your property, prevents long term damage, and maintains the value of your home. Dirt, moss, algae, and debris can slowly weaken roofing materials and lead to leaks or costly repairs. That is why our roof cleaning service is designed to restore your roof safely, enhance its durability, and keep your home looking its best.
Property owners across the UK face the same challenge: roofs naturally collect moss and grime due to our weather conditions. You do not need a full roof replacement to refresh and protect your home. A professional clean from our team is a smart, cost saving solution that brings instant and long lasting results.
We handle everything from the initial inspection to the final cleanup, giving you complete peace of mind from start to finish.

Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
Harsh pressure washing can harm roof tiles that’s why we use the soft wash method. It’s safe, effective, and perfect for Glasgow’s varied roof materials like slate, clay, and concrete.
Our soft wash system uses low-pressure water and eco-friendly cleaning agents to break down moss, algae, and stains without damaging your tiles or pointing. To stop regrowth, we apply a biocide treatment that keeps your roof cleaner for longer often for up to 2–3 years. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
Roof Moss & Algae Removal
Moss and algae might seem harmless, but they’re silent roof killers. They absorb water, lift tiles, and cause leaks, especially during Glasgow’s cold, wet months.
Our moss removal team uses gentle hand tools and air blow systems to clear every inch safely. Then, we follow up with a biodegradable anti-fungal solution to keep your roof spotless and strong.
This process doesn’t just clean, it protects. You’ll notice fewer blockages, cleaner gutters, and a fresher look that lasts.
Roof Tile Cleaning & Restoration
Roof tiles lose their colour and strength over time, especially with constant Scottish rain. Our roof tile cleaning and restoration service revives old tiles, removing dirt, moss, and stains while restoring their natural tone.
We handle all roof types such as: clay, slate, concrete, and flat roofs. Using soft wash and manual care, we make each tile look new again without causing cracks or wear.
For older properties or heritage buildings in areas like West End or Dennistoun, we adjust our cleaning methods to respect your roof’s age and materials.
