Roof condition comes before cleaning
A Bearsden roof-cleaning enquiry should include what you know about the covering, any repairs and the areas that concern you. A clear photograph of moss is useful, but so is an explanation of a leak, loose tile or recently repaired section.
The aim is to establish whether cleaning is appropriate and which practical questions need answering first. David’s compressed-air approach does not remove the need to consider the condition of the roof.
What to tell us about the covering
If you know whether the roof is slate, clay or concrete tile, include that information. Share any manufacturer’s care guidance or previous repair details. If you are unsure, send photographs from ground level instead of attempting a close inspection at height.
A sensitive, fragile or damaged covering may need advice from a roofer before cleaning is considered. The method guide explains why equipment labels alone are not enough to choose an approach.
Moss removal and appearance
Removing build-up does not make an older covering new. Surface age, weathering and staining can remain visible. Ask which changes are expected immediately and whether a professional treatment is proposed afterwards.
The biocide treatment guide distinguishes that later stage from the mechanical removal of moss. Any guarantee needs complete written terms, rather than an informal promise.
Access and follow-up
Include the front and rear elevations, side access and any structure below the roof. Tell us about the specific sections you want assessed and whether neighbouring access would be involved.
After work, use photographs from a safe ground-level position to record the condition and follow the agreed aftercare. Our aftercare guide gives a practical starting point.
