Why Professional Roof Cleaning & Coating is Essential!
While often overlooked, maintaining a clean and protected roof is crucial for several reasons:
- Prevents Damage:
Moss and lichen retain moisture, which can lead to timber rot, cracked tiles (especially during frost cycles), and degradation of roofing materials. Algae can create slippery surfaces and contribute to water channelling issues.
- Extends Roof Lifespan:
By removing damaging organic growth and applying protective coatings, you reduce wear and tear, significantly extending the life of your existing roof.
- Enhances Curb Appeal:
A clean, vibrant roof instantly boosts your homes aesthetic appeal and can increase its market value. Dirty, moss-covered roofs can make a property look neglected.
- Improves Drainage:
Heavy moss can impede proper water flow into your gutters, leading to overflows, damp walls, and foundation issues.
- Saves Money Long-Term:
Proactive cleaning and coating are far less expensive than extensive roof repairs or a full roof replacement necessitated by neglect.

Customer Reviews
Fortress Cleaning did a fantastic job on our roof in Exeter. We were worried about damage from pressure washing, but their soft washing technique was incredibly gentle and removed all the stubborn moss and lichen. The team was professional, tidy, and finished the work exactly on schedule. Highly recommend for anyone looking to properly maintain their home.

We chose the Gold Package, and the difference is unbelievable! Not only is the roof spotless after the moss treatment, but the gutters and driveway look brand new too. It’s given our property in Torbay huge curb appeal. The protective coating they applied should keep it clean for years. Excellent service and worth every penny.
Mark & Diane P
Torbay
Reliable, locally focused, and great value. Fortress Cleaning provided a clear, upfront quote with no surprises, unlike some other firms we contacted. The team was clearly knowledgeable about different roof types and ensured everything was cleaned up afterward. It’s great to have such a high-quality service right here in Devon.

We used Fortress Cleaning for the large roof on our commercial unit. They were highly efficient, worked safely, and caused minimal disruption to our operations. Their commercial roof cleaning methods are excellent for removing heavy algae build-up. We will definitely be setting up an annual contract with them.
