Roof-Cleaners.co.uk is a free online quote service for homeowners, landlords and property managers looking for roof and exterior cleaning specialists. The service is provided by Local-Quotes.co.uk and powered by Leads Do Work, which helps connect customers with tradespeople throughout the UK.
Our aim is to make it easier to find local contractors for jobs such as roof cleaning, moss removal, gutter clearing, soffit and fascia cleaning, render washing and pressure washing. Rather than spending time contacting several companies separately, customers can submit one enquiry and may receive quotes from up to four specialists who cover their area.
Roof-Cleaners.co.uk does not carry out the cleaning work itself. We operate as a matching and referral service. The contractors who receive an enquiry are independent businesses responsible for discussing the job, inspecting the property where necessary and providing their own quotation.
Using the service is free for homeowners, and there is no obligation to accept any quote. Customers remain in control and can compare the proposed cleaning methods, prices, availability and experience of the contractors who contact them.
About Local-Quotes.co.uk
Local-Quotes.co.uk helps homeowners find tradespeople for a wide range of property improvement, repair and maintenance work. Roof-Cleaners.co.uk forms part of this wider service and focuses specifically on roof cleaning and related exterior cleaning jobs.
By using an established home improvement quote platform, we can help customers reach contractors who already work in their local area. This can save time, especially when a property owner is unsure who offers a particular service or where to begin looking.
Local-Quotes.co.uk provides the homeowner-facing quote service. Customers complete an online form, explain what work they need and provide their contact and location details. The enquiry can then be matched with relevant tradespeople, subject to contractor availability and local coverage.
Powered by Leads Do Work
Leads Do Work supplies the technology and contractor network that supports the service. It works with tradespeople and home improvement businesses across the UK, helping them receive enquiries from customers who are actively looking for quotations.
Contractors use the Leads Do Work platform to choose the services and locations they cover. When a suitable roof cleaning enquiry becomes available, relevant specialists may receive the opportunity to contact the customer and quote for the work.
This arrangement allows Roof-Cleaners.co.uk to focus on giving homeowners a simple way to request quotes, while Leads Do Work manages the systems used to distribute enquiries to participating contractors.
Helping You Find Local Roof Cleaning Specialists
Roofs and external surfaces naturally become dirty over time. Moss can spread across tiles, leaves and debris can block gutters, while algae may leave green, red or black staining on rendered walls. Properties close to trees, busy roads or shaded areas may need cleaning more often than homes in open, sunny locations.
Finding the right contractor is not always straightforward. Some businesses specialise in manual moss removal, while others offer soft washing, biocide treatments, gutter vacuuming or pressure washing. The most appropriate method will depend on the surface, its condition and the type of growth or staining present.
Our service helps simplify the search. Once you submit an enquiry, we use the information provided to identify contractors who offer the relevant service and operate in your area. Depending on availability, up to four specialists may contact you to ask further questions, request photographs or arrange a visit.
You can then compare their recommendations and decide which option best suits your property and budget.

Working with Independent Contractors
The tradespeople who receive enquiries through Roof-Cleaners.co.uk operate as independent contractors. They do not work directly for Roof-Cleaners.co.uk, Local-Quotes.co.uk or Leads Do Work.
Each contractor decides which services they offer, the locations they cover and how much they charge. They are also responsible for assessing the property, recommending a cleaning method and completing any work agreed with the customer.
We ask contractors for information about their business and the type of work they undertake. Checks may include confirming contact details, service areas and relevant business information. However, customers should always carry out their own checks before appointing anyone.
Before agreeing to the work, it is sensible to:
- Ask for a written quotation showing what is included
- Check whether access equipment and waste removal form part of the price
- Ask the contractor to explain the proposed cleaning method
- Confirm whether gutter clearing or treatment products are included
- Request evidence of suitable public liability insurance
- Look at recent customer reviews or examples of previous work
- Check whether the quotation includes VAT, where applicable
- Ask whether any guarantee applies to treatments or additional services
These checks can help you understand what you are paying for and reduce the risk of disagreements once the work begins.
Why the Correct Roof Cleaning Method Matters
There is no single cleaning method that suits every roof. A technique that works well on one property may cause problems on another, particularly where the roof covering is old, damaged or fragile.
For example, powerful pressure washing can damage some roof tiles, disturb mortar or push water beneath the roof covering when used incorrectly. Older tiles may also have a worn surface that needs a gentler approach.
Manual scraping is often used to remove thick moss growth without applying high water pressure. Contractors may then apply a biocide treatment to deal with remaining spores and staining. In other situations, soft washing or carefully controlled cleaning equipment may provide a suitable solution.
An experienced contractor should inspect or assess the roof before recommending a method. They should consider the roof material, age, pitch, condition and ease of access, as well as nearby plants, windows, conservatories and neighbouring properties.
Roof Cleaning Is Not the Same as Roof Repair
Cleaning can improve the appearance of a roof and remove organic growth, but it will not fix existing roofing defects. Broken tiles, failed flashing, damaged pointing and leaks require repair work rather than cleaning alone.
In some cases, moss may hide cracked or slipped tiles. A contractor might therefore notice defects once the cleaning begins. Before accepting a quote, ask what will happen if they find damaged areas and whether roof repairs would need to be priced separately.
A responsible cleaner should not claim that a treatment will repair structural faults or permanently prevent all future growth. Moss and algae may eventually return, although a suitable treatment and regular maintenance can help keep the roof cleaner for longer.
How the Free Quote Process Works
Submit Your Enquiry
Start by completing the online form and describing the cleaning work you need. You do not need to know the correct technical term or treatment. Simply explain what you can see, such as heavy moss on the tiles, overflowing gutters, dirty fascias or green staining on the render.
We Look for Suitable Contractors
Your postcode and job details help us identify participating contractors who offer the required service in your area. Matching depends on local availability, so the number of responses may vary.
Up to Four Specialists May Contact You
Your enquiry may be shared with up to four independent contractors. They can contact you directly to discuss the property, ask for photographs, arrange an inspection or provide a quotation.
Compare the Quotes
Each contractor prepares their own quote. Compare more than the final price and check the cleaning method, treatment products, access arrangements and services included.
Choose Whether to Proceed
You are under no obligation to hire anyone. You can accept the quotation you prefer, ask further questions or decide not to proceed with the work.
Why Use a Quote Comparison Service?
Roof cleaning prices can vary because every property is different. A small bungalow with easy access may cost less to clean than a tall house with a steep roof, restricted access and heavy moss growth.
The price may also depend on whether the contractor includes gutter clearing, a biocide treatment, scaffolding, a cherry picker or the removal of moss and debris. As a result, two quotations for the same property may not cover exactly the same work.
Receiving more than one quote gives you the opportunity to compare the available options. It can also help you identify questions to ask before choosing a contractor.
Our Role in the Process
Roof-Cleaners.co.uk provides an introduction between customers and independent contractors. We do not inspect properties, prepare quotations, supervise contractors or carry out the cleaning.
Any agreement for work is made directly between the customer and the chosen contractor. This includes the price, payment terms, start date, cleaning method and any guarantee offered.
Customers should make their own decision about whether a contractor is suitable. We recommend checking business details, insurance, reviews and written terms before making a payment or allowing work to begin.
