Living in Ireland means embracing the rain, the wind, and the green… especially the green moss that loves to creep across our rooftops! While the emerald hues look great on the landscape, moss on roof tiles is an entirely different story. Left unchecked, it can wreak havoc, leading to cracked tiles, blocked gutters, and costly repairs. That’s why regular roof and gutter cleaning is not just recommended, it’s essential.

Why Moss is More Than Just an Eyesore

Moss isn’t just something unsightly clinging to your roof slates. It’s porous, which means it absorbs water like a sponge. This added weight and moisture can loosen tiles and even cause leaks, which is bad news in a climate where it feels like it’s raining 300 days a year. Combine this with clogged gutters, and suddenly, water is no longer being channelled away from your home… It’s seeping into it.

But don’t panic because there is a solution, with roof and gutter cleaning by us at UEH!

The Secret to a Clean, Dry Roof

The secret? It’s professional roof and gutter cleaning done the right way. At UEH, we don’t just blast away the grime. Our expert team uses the Irish government-approved Benz Softwash system to gently but effectively remove moss, algae and dirt from your roof and gutters without damaging tiles or pointing.

Once your roof is clean, we apply the biocide treatment to prevent moss from returning, because the only thing worse than moss on your roof is moss that keeps coming back.

Don’t Forget Your Gutters!

When we say roof cleaning, we mean the full works, from clearing every last bit of moss and grime to ensuring your gutters are flowing freely again. After all, what’s the point in cleaning your roof if all that muck ends up clogging your gutters?

So while we don’t offer gutter cleaning as a separate service, we do include it as part of our roof cleaning process. It’s the final tidy-up that keeps rainwater flowing where it should, away from your foundations and walls.

And because clean gutters mean less chance of damp or mould creeping into your home, you can rest easy knowing your property is protected, inside and out.

Commercial Roof And Gutter Cleaning And How First Impressions Count

While we’re best known for residential work, we also offer commercial roof cleaning services across Ireland. Whether it’s a retail unit, office block or industrial site, moss on roof surfaces and grimy gutters are bad for business. Our exterior pressure washing teams work safely and efficiently to make sure your commercial premises are looking sharp, protected, and professional.

Because nothing says “trust us” like a building that’s clean from top to bottom.

Softwashing vs Exterior Pressure Washing – What Your Roof Really Needs

Unlike traditional exterior pressure washing, which uses high-powered jets that can damage roof tiles and render, our softwashing system is gentle, precise and far more effective in the long run. Using the Benz Softwash system, an Irish government-approved biocide treatment, we eliminate moss, algae and red algae right down to the roots. Exterior pressure washing may blast away surface dirt when it comes to roof and gutter cleaning, but it doesn’t kill the spores, meaning growth quickly returns. Our method ensures a longer-lasting, safer clean for your home.

Because we’re UEH Ireland Limited, the only ProPERLA Platinum Approved Applicator in the country, we can also apply protective coatings that keep surfaces cleaner for longer. For peace of mind, ProPERLA comes with a 10-year warranty for all colour coatings on roofs and walls, a 10-year warranty for clear coatings on roofs, and a 20-year warranty on clear coatings for walls. Learn more about what ProPERLA is and why we use it.

The Takeaway? Prevention is Better Than Repair

The truth is, Ireland’s climate isn’t going to get any drier. But with regular roof and gutter cleaning, you can fight back against moss, prevent damage, and keep your property looking its best.

So, whether you’re a homeowner with slippery paths and mossy tiles or a business owner in need of commercial roof cleaning, why not give us a call? Contact us today, and we’ll get up there so you don’t have to.

Let’s keep that moss where it belongs – in the woods, not on your roof.
