Roof Moss Removal By Pressure Washing On Low Pressure, Then Soft Washing.
This was a roof cleaning job carried out for a local business owner in Cambridge that we've done a lot of work for in the past.
They were told that the roof on this office building needed replacing because of all the moss and growth covering a large percentage of the whole roof.
Having had their own maintenance team check the roof battens and felt underlay from in inside the building, they weren't convinced that, that was necessary, as from inside the building the it all looked in excellent condition, with no leaks, no rot and no damage. They felt all that was needed was the moss to be removed, and for any damaged or cracked tiles to be replaced, which they would carry out themselves using their own maintenance team and their own cherry picker.
Having cleaned a few roofs for this business owner in the past, and being very happy with the results, they called us in to remove the moss and growth from the roof and treat it.
While the end result wasn't perfect, and and least 10% of the tiles needed replacing, you can see from the end results, it was a drastic improvement, and the roof is now completely clean, enabling their maintenance team to see exactly what tiles need replacing.
Once they've completed that work, the whole roof will be in excellent working condition, costing them a fraction of what it would cost to re-tile the whole roof, and saving them thousands.

I can't imagine how your arms felt after holding that pressured wand on this job. Looks great!
Thank you Ubette 2012, it's hard when you first start doing this, but your body soon gets used to it, thanks for the great feedback 🙂
It is so satisfying to see so much moss out of that roof. Love it good job. Greetings from Florida USA
I was going to say the same thing. That's a lot of work holding that heavy wand.
Ik! I was about to comment on the arm pain too
Looks brand new. Every side looked bad just that one looked worse! 👍👍👍👍
This is one hell of a transformation! The roof looks just amazing now. Please give this man an award!
😀 that would be nice, a huge thank you from me Lakshmi. Top lady 🙂
Thick enough to find ancient buried Viking Warriors! Nice Job!
🤣like it, cheers bud 👍
Part of me loves the moss on the roof. It makes me think of nature and forest cottages. Then you do such a great job removing it all and reveal a beautiful tile roof like this, and I change my mind. Great job!!!
😁, I know what you mean Tatianna, and I agree. Thanks for the great feedback, you're very kind 🙂
Indeed, there are some newer roofing materials and building techniques that are moss-friendly that are meant to catch that "natural" aesthetic and tap into the benefits of having a living organism on top of your house (from what I hear it serves as an excellent insulator and is great for roof irrigation that reduces the need for gutters for starters) but currently it's expensive and difficult to install on most residential buildings.
I agree, the moss did add a certain Hobbiton-esque charm. What a shame it also damages the roof! I can't imagine having those tiles break and fall on one's gead would be pleasant.
It's cool to know there is a moss-friendly alternative, even if it's not very practical right now!
I felt the same..but the end result and those lovely tiles changed my mind.
Not only have you done an excellent job, but you saved that beautiful roof - the tiles are gorgeous!
Thank you so much 😊. What a lovely thing to say 🙂
You definitely do amazing work and really show that you take pride in what you are doing. I can imagine you feeling great when you see the end result of a job well done.
Thank you so much Heather, I really appreciate your kind words 😊
That was so impressive Nick and you earned every single penny they paid you for that job. All those years in the building game certainly helped in assessing a job I don’t think many would have had the confidence to take on and goes to show that pressure is ok on tiles, if you know what you are doing. 1st class 👍👏🏻
Hi Graham, mate thank you, that really means a lot, nice one buddy 👍👍
Better than watching a rocket ship into space most satisfying a great honest job, well done.
Wow, thanks, what a great comment, cheers 🙂👍
What a beautiful tile roof with variegated reds and oranges, browns and purples, yellows and light naturals, all hidden under that green moss, like a great old oil painting waiting to be cleaned of soot and grime. You've really made that house a stunning head turner!! Owners must be delighted beyond words!! Great work!! Imagine the horrible mistake if they replaced the roof, especially with cheap shingles. They would have destroyed a masterpiece!!
Thanks very much, what a lovely comment, you're very kind 🙂
My arms would’ve been ready too fall off after this job 🤣🤣 the clients must be super stoked on how it looks after your hard work 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks dude, appreciate the great comment, cheers 🙂
Great job, other people may have used a scraper which I think takes a lot longer, harder work and can scratch the tiles, I prefer your way.
Well done, glad it was cleaned and not replaced as this keeps its character for years to come and saved a lot of time and money.
Thanks a lot John, I really appreciate the great feedback, top man 👍
Nick, that was so satisfying to watch. Roof tile colours are beautiful. Fabulous character unveiled after washing that blanket of moss off. Customer must have been delighted. I liked the minute of real time footage also. Shows how little pressure you applied.
Top notch video, always enjoyable. Cheers bud!!
Hiya mate, my apologies for my delayed response, been super busy with roof clean after roof clean, and been struggling to keep up with everything. Thanks for your awesome comments and feedback bud, you're a top bloke, nice one 👍
Such a beautiful , multicolored roof hiding under all that mess. Great job!
Greetings from Tennessee, USA. I’ve done a bit of pressure washing and am still mesmerized by the transition, from old and tired to new and shiny. It’s obvious that you have done a lot of this as the results speak for themselves. As I was watching, I thought how interesting it would be if your drone was stationary above the roof for a brief while so we could see a time lapse of the transformation from above. I know that’s a lot of hovering but it would be an interesting perspective. Great job. Great video. Thank you.
A beautiful roof under that moss. Glad you worked on it. Oh good, I'm learning a new skill. Can start seeing broken and cracked tiles after you've done cleaning.
Thanks Robert, your comment's much appreciated mate
Another cracking job Nick. The customer must have been over the moon with that clean. And Another very informative video. Fantastic work. Keep it up my friend.
Hi Robert, thanks a lot bud, yeah he was chuffed to bits, so much so he booked me in for another roof clean across the other side of the site - lovely 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning happy days Nick. Long may it continue for you.
I can see the broken bits once all that moss was clear but it hardly seems to need to be fully replaced. That's like tossing out dirty clothes and buying new ones.
Awesome job, as always! Looks much, much better. 👍👍
Totally agree bud, I think the roofers were trying it on to make as much money out of them as they could, but this business owner's no push over and was having none of it. Thanks for the great compliment mate, it's much appreciated 👍
I love the beauty of clay shingles ~ so nice to see this roof restored to its former glory.
Thanks very much John 👍
Can't imagine how pleased the homeowners must have been, again a tremendously great job Nick! Did you have to clean up all the debris as well?
Hi Sandi, many thanks, the business owner who owns all the land, and the building was super impressed and pleased with the results. Yes, all the moss on the floor was swept up into piles and disposed of in the bushes surrounding the building, with the owners permission of course 🙂👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning good mulch...it will break down to compost
@@meatavoreNana absolutely 👍
What a beautiful roof! Those tiles are wonderful now they are clean again. Great job.
Aw thanks Mishka, so kind of you, cheers.
Blimey Nick! I thought you had expanded your services to the Amazon Rainforest at the start of the video. What a transformation mate. As always, a top job 👍
Sorry Steve, thought i'd replied to this 🤦🏻♂️. Nice one mate, always appreciate your feedback bud 🙂👍
What an amazing job ~ I can't believe all that moss was removed !!! Great job !!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good to see you again Nick. Spectacular job cleaning and saving the customer a boatload of quid! Your snoopervisor reminds you that busy hands are happy hands. 😉👍
Hi LuAnn, great to hear from you too, i'd taken a bit of a step back from it all recently, feeling the strain a bit from doing jobs like this, one after the other with no breaks in between. Lovely to hear my snoopervisor is pleased, always a good thing
Wow! I love your extend-o-wand with the adjustable head so that nothing is blown up and under the shingles/tiles/slates. Genius.
VERY GREAT JOB! GOOD TO KNOW THERE ARE STILL GREAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ON THIS EARTH! YOU SAVED THE OWNERS A LOT OF MONEY! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK AT HELPING OTHERS IN NEED!
What a lovely comment, thanks very much Kathy 😊
That was a mammoth job, well done. The roof looked great, a beautiful rustic roof with oranges and yellows - really nice. Would be a great pity to replace those tiles. I hope you had some time off to allow your arms and shoulders to recover.
Hey Ched, cheers mate. No rest for the wicked at the moment mate, nothing but roof clean after roof clean. Having a whole month off at Christmas and can't wait, can't complain about being busy, just a shame it takes such a toll on the body. Thanks again Ched, top man 👍
Even with the damaged tiles, that roof is beautiful!! Here in America, we don't have tiles like that on our roofs and our driveways and patios are normally boring concrete, not the gorgeous bricks and stones that you have there, unless you're rich. If I ever get to build my own home, I'm going to pattern it after what you have there. I love watching these videos of your homes there. Beautiful. And you did an amazing job on that roof. I can't imagine how tired your arms get doing that. It takes a special kind of person. Awesome Job!
Ok you win! Coolest pressure wash video I've seen hands down
Wow, thanks dude, what an awesome compliment 🤩👍
My arms hurt just watching this. Satisfying to watch. It's going to be much easier to mend now.
Cheers Standardbred Adventures, appreciate the great feedback 👍
Wow! Nice job to kick off “roof season” mate. In at the deep end again I see! Hope the shoulders aren’t screaming too much 🙏🏻
Hey Neil, nice one mate. I wanted to apologise bud, been meaning to get back to you for a while, just been snowed under with challenging roof cleans. I've got a few days of next week bud, so I was gonna try and catch up with you then if that's alright. Thanks again mate 👍
Amazing transformation! There were actually a roof underneath all that moss?! Who knew! lol
Great job, and hard on the shoulders and arms I would imagine!
Thanks Wrench Monkey, really appreciate that bud. For me it's my shoulder joints, can get really saw sometimes, probably getting a bit old for this game now 😉
The difference in the before and after is as different as night and day. Exceptional job, I'm amazed.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much Richard 😀
What a beautiful roof you revealed back to them!😍 I love the variation of tile colors!
Looks amazing! Extremely hard job, takes a toll on your body. You must love to do this kind of work. Thanks for sharing. Makes me appreciate other people's types of work.
So satisfying to watch, I'd say you get a great buzz at the end and see for yourself just how good it looks.....
Compared to scraping I'd say this way is much quicker and also removes near all.
This looks amazing, very hard work for you , great to see someone work hard 😓 results for all of us to see brilliant
Thank you so much 😀
lovely, now Nick has the arms of He-Man
🤣 If only, She-ra maybe 😉
Paol, ...... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wondered how moss was cleaned from a roof and now I know. Fabulous results
That's a great looking roof you saved, bet the owners were very grateful.
Wowzers, that was a brilliant video to watch, I must admit I felt like I needed a lie down just watching the amount of work you did , well done and thanks for another great video, sending hugs to you and the family😀😘
😁Aw thanks Angie, bless you, always love to hear what you think when I do these types of jobs. Lovely, lovely lady 🤗
Outstanding job Nick, my arms and shoulders are aching just from watching!
Thank you Nick, great watch, you're hard working, honest and I enjoy your videos.
What a transformation. Absolutely top-notch work yet again! thank you for the upload.
Great job! I'm sure the owners are grateful for the saving$.
Went from looking like it needed a new roof. To looking like it has a new roof. Great job.
Amazing job! That clean up afterwards must of been a soul destroyer after all that graft! Have you ever tried laying some kind of membrane/protection on the ground to catch majority of the debris making the clean up that little bit faster/easier? Take my hat off to you on this one! 👌👍🤝
Thanks very much Daniel. I will always lay tarpaulin down if the if the debris falls onto gravel, but don't bother if it lands on a hard surface, as it's very easy to sweep up, bag up, and rinse down at the end of the job 👍, thanks again 🙂
Great job - cover the AC unit :)
How many hours did this take all the way through ground clean up?
Blimey Nick you are a grafter m8, that was one of the best filmed I've seen for a long time! Absolutely well done for doing such an epic job! Cheers M
Nice one buddy, really appreciate that mate, top man
I think the roof is just beautiful. Difference colors here and there ---it is great.
Great video ! Amazing transformation 👌🏻 I can only assume it was a big cleanup on the ground after 😂😂
Cheers buddy 🙂👍, clean up wasn't that bad mate, just swept it into piles and shovelled it into the bushes next to the building, with permission of course, then rinsed it down, job's a good'n
Wow! Beautiful when cleaned.
Fantastic job, handling that power washer requires strength and a plan, it was such a fantastic transformation
Восхищаюсь вашей работой! Какая разительная разница! В восторге) лайк! 👍👍👍👌❤️

Oddly satisfying to watch this cleanup..! Adore that apparatus to pressure wash the roof..! I need one of those..! LOL We only need the roof of the garage done..! Not as steep an angle, only one story high..!
WOWZA!!! What a fabulous job you did. That roof is so beautiful now. ❤️ 🥇 🏆 🎖 I’m also loving the music. My foot has been tapping since this video started. I’d love to clean my house to it 👍
Glad you liked it!! Thanks very much for the great comment Lisa 🤩
I had moss growing on my roof facing south because of a Tamarack tree that shaded it..we had to take the tree down because it was old and dangerous..I didn't do anything to the moss..it wasn' t half as bad as this house and during that summer , the sun dried it and it shrivelled up and the rain washed it down and out the gutter downspouts.You did a great job here..I was lucky.
This guys a legend at cleaning 👍🏻👌🏼👏🏼
What a great transformation!!!
Thanks very much Linda 😊
When my husband passed, I had to get the house ready to sell (couldn't afford it alone). I hired someone to come in to paint and repair the siding and the large wooden deck in back. I asked the guy in charge if he had any idea how much a new roof would cost... He looked at it and said that it didn't really need replaced, but could be cleaned to remove the moss and dirt. He said he could do it for just a couple hundred dollars! It came out great! He also fixed the sagging "overhang" over the front door and installed a couple of simple wooden pillars to support it so it wouldn't sag again! No charge except for the cost of new shingles for it and the cost of the wooden pillars! There are nice tradesmen out there and they helped save my bacon on the "beautification" of the place! The house never looked better!
May that kind person find a peaceful life with much Prosperity for saving you from being ripped off.
Greetings, Moogie, from South Asia.
