Your roof and gutters are your property’s first line of defence against the elements. They protect your home or business from rain, wind, snow, and debris. However, like any part of a building, they require regular upkeep to stay functional. Professional roof and gutter cleaning is one of the most important yet overlooked services for maintaining both appearance and performance.

At APE Cleaning, we specialise in thorough, safe, and effective roof and gutter cleaning for residential and commercial properties. Whether you're dealing with moss-covered tiles, overflowing gutters, or general grime, our expert team can restore your roofline to top condition.

Why Roof and Gutter Cleaning Matters

Over time, your roof and guttering system can accumulate debris such as moss, leaves, algae, twigs, and even bird nests. This build-up can cause a range of problems that are costly and inconvenient if left unchecked.

1. Prevent Water Damage

Clogged gutters can’t channel rainwater properly. Instead, water overflows and runs down your walls, potentially leading to damp, mould, and foundation issues. Cleaning your gutters regularly helps prevent water-related damage to both exterior and interior spaces.

2. Protect Roof Integrity

Moss and algae trap moisture against your roof tiles or slates, accelerating wear and increasing the risk of cracking, tile displacement, or leaks. Our roof cleaning services remove these threats safely, prolonging the life of your roof.

3. Improve Aesthetics

A clean roof and clear gutters instantly improve your property’s appearance. Black streaks, mossy patches, and dirty gutters can make a home or building look neglected—even if everything else is pristine.

4. Avoid Expensive Repairs

Neglecting roof and gutter cleaning may lead to serious damage and high repair costs down the line. Regular maintenance is a small investment that saves you money over time.

What’s Included in Our Roof and Gutter Cleaning Service?

At APE Cleaning, we offer a comprehensive service that includes:

Roof Cleaning

We remove moss, algae, lichen, and debris from your roof using techniques tailored to your roof type. For delicate roofs, we use a soft washing method to avoid damage while still delivering a deep clean.

Gutter Clearance

Using high-reach vacuum systems and gutter scoops, we clear leaves, moss, twigs, and dirt from your gutter channels and downpipes—ensuring water flows freely again.

Biocide Treatment

Once the roof is cleaned, we apply a biocide solution to kill any remaining spores and prevent regrowth. This keeps your roof looking cleaner for longer and protects it from future infestations.

Inspection and Minor Repairs

While cleaning, we inspect your gutters and roof for early signs of damage. We can report and advise on any cracked tiles, displaced gutters, or other issues we spot.

Suitable for All Property Types

Our roof and gutter cleaning service is suitable for:

• Detached and semi-detached homes

• Terraced houses

• Bungalows

• Commercial buildings

• Flats and apartment blocks

• Schools and public buildings

• Industrial units

No matter the size or height of the building, we have the equipment and experience to clean it safely and effectively.

How Often Should You Clean Your Roof and Gutters?

For most UK homes, we recommend:

• Gutter cleaning: At least twice per year—typically in the spring and autumn, when leaf and moss build-up is at its highest.

• Roof cleaning: Every 2–5 years depending on local conditions, roof type, and how prone your area is to moss or algae.

However, if you live near trees or in a damp, shaded environment, you may need more frequent attention. Our team can assess your property and recommend a suitable schedule.
