Professional Residential Roof Cleaning & Safe Soft Washing in Devon
Protect your home and increase its value with our non-destructive roof cleaning process. We safely eliminate moss, algae, and lichen using low-pressure treatments that guarantee lasting results.
The Damage Caused by Moss and Algae
Many homeowners view moss as merely unsightly, but it is a serious threat to the structural integrity of your roof. Moss, algae, and lichen act like sponges, retaining vast amounts of moisture directly against your tiles. This leads to several issues:
Tile Damage: In winter, the retained water freezes, expands, and causes tiles to crack or lift.
Timber Rot: Moss can eventually cause water ingress, leading to rot in the underlying wooden battens and rafters.
Clogged Gutters: Moss falling off the roof blocks gutters, leading to overflows and damp issues around your property’s foundations.
Our service eliminates these risks at the source, turning your roof into a fortress of protection against the elements.
Our Safe and Guaranteed Soft Washing Process
At Fortress Cleaning, safety is our priority. We exclusively use the Soft Washing method for all residential roof cleaning. Unlike destructive high-pressure jet washing that can strip the protective granular surface off tiles and force water underneath them, Soft Washing is gentle and highly effective.
Our process involves:
Manual Moss Removal: We carefully scrape the heavy moss growth from the roof surface by hand.
Biocide Treatment: We apply a professional-grade, low-pressure biocide solution that soaks into the tiles, killing the remaining algae spores and lichen roots completely.
Lasting Protection: This biocide remains active, preventing regrowth for typically 3 to 5 years, ensuring a long-lasting, clean result that preserves the life and value of your roof.

Our roof in Torbay was covered in moss and staining, ruining the look of our house. Fortress Cleaning’s treatment gave us incredible results. It’s not just clean; the application they used means the roof looks fresh and bright, and we’re confident it will stay that way. The curb appeal has drastically improved. Thank you!

We opted for a package that included roof cleaning and gutter clearing. The value was excellent, and the work was incredibly thorough. They ensured every bit of debris was removed and left the site spotless. If you need reliable moss removal and exterior cleaning around Newton Abbot, look no further.

Fantastic job done on our roof in Exmouth. The Soft Washing was gentle yet highly effective, and the roof looks amazing. It was a pleasure dealing with the whole team. I have already recommended Fortress Cleaning to two of my neighbours who were also impressed by the quality of the finish.
