About roof cleaning
From asphalt and shingles to metal, tile and slate, Christie's Exterior Cleaning Ltd cleans roofs across Central Scotland using a low-pressure soft wash. The method matters: a roof tile is porous and a high-pressure lance strips its surface, so we work at a pressure the tile can take and let an HSE-approved biocide do the rest. What comes back is the original colour of the roof — on more than one job the difference against the neighbouring property has been the thing customers comment on first. Where a few tiles have cracked or slipped, we can swap out the worst of them so the roof is watertight again before we leave.
Signs you need roof cleaning
Dark streaking down the slope, a roof that looks grey or green next to a neighbour's, algae spreading on shaded or north-facing pitches, and grit or debris collecting in the gutters below the roofline. If the roof is heavily carpeted in moss rather than dirty, that is a scrape job rather than a wash — see moss removal.
Our roof cleaning options
Christie's Exterior Cleaning soft washes asphalt, shingle, metal, tile and slate roofs, then treats them with an HSE-approved biocide for long-lasting protection. We also work on large properties, where a roof can take a couple of days rather than an afternoon, and can replace badly cracked or slipped tiles found during the clean. Roof cleaning is commonly booked alongside gutter clearing, since debris comes down into the gutters during the job. Call 0131 283 6467 for a fixed-rate quote.

What to expect
Christie's Exterior Cleaning assesses roof type, pitch, access and the extent of growth before quoting, and says honestly whether the roof needs a wash or a scrape. On the day, access is set up safely, the roof is soft washed section by section, and the HSE-approved biocide is applied afterwards. Gutter clearing can be included in the same visit where debris has come down from the roof, and everything is tidied before we leave.
