Roof Cleaning & Inspections in Elgin

Cleaning & Inspections for Elgin homes
Elgin sits inland but still gets the full force of north-east winds and heavy winter rain. Blocked gutters, moss build-up and worn valleys are common reasons people call us. Moss holds moisture against the covering and blocks gutters as it washes down. We clear it properly, clear the gutters afterwards and tell you about anything else we notice while we are up there.
Elgin has a mix of traditional sandstone properties with slate roofs, post-war housing and newer developments with concrete tiles. When a roof reaches the end of its life, we handle the full re-roofing — covering, felt and timbers — and talk you through what it involves before anything is agreed.
What we cover
- Roof inspections
- Gutter clearing
- Moss removal and roof cleaning
- Roof coatings, where suitable
Signs to look out for
- Heavy moss on slates or tiles
- Blocked or overflowing gutters
- You are buying a property or want peace of mind
- It has been a long time since the roof was looked at
- You can see slipped slates or damage from the ground
How we work
We look over the roof, point out anything that needs attention and advise on the cleaning or maintenance that suits it. Not every roof benefits from cleaning or coating, so we will tell you honestly what yours needs — including if the answer is nothing right now. That honesty is what you want from a cleaning and inspections company: advice first, work only where it helps.
What affects the cost
- The size and pitch of the roof
- How much moss or debris needs removed
- Whether gutters need cleared as well
- Access around the property
