Bury is a proud market town in the heart of Greater Manchester, known for its black pudding market, the Transport Museum and the Millgate. It also has a rich stock of Victorian terraces, semis and period homes, and like much of the North West the damp, overcast weather is ideal for moss, algae and lichen on the roofs.
Left untreated, moss is far more than a cosmetic problem. It holds moisture against the tiles and speeds up frost damage through Bury's cold winters, lichen works into tiny cracks in the tile surface, and the debris it sheds blocks gutters and causes damp.
We never use high-pressure jet washing on roofs. We assess each roof and choose the safest effective method, steam cleaning or careful hand scraping, then apply a high-strength DDAC 50% biocide that kills the remaining spores and stops regrowth for two years. Whether you are in the town centre, up around Ramsbottom or out towards Radcliffe and Whitefield, we will travel to you.
For the full method, guarantee and pricing details see our roof cleaning service page. Driveway looking tired too? See driveway and patio cleaning, and for business premises our commercial cleaning.
Why we never use high pressure on roof tiles.
Depending on the roof, we use hand scraping tools or low-pressure steam to lift heavy moss without damaging tiles or forcing water under the roofline. Nobody walks on your roof.
Moss and debris fall during the clean, so every gutter and downpipe is cleared and flushed before we leave.
The most important step. A professional-grade biocide soaks into the tiles, kills the remaining spores and stops regrowth. Roof cleans come with our 2-year no-moss guarantee.
Paths, drives and drains are cleaned, the moss is bagged and taken away, and you get before and after photos of the job.
Bury sits at the foot of the Pennines, so it gets steady rainfall and moisture-laden air off the moors. Add shaded north-facing slopes and mature trees near Burrs Country Park and the Irwell Valley, and even newer roofs can carry heavy moss within five to ten years.
We regularly clean roofs around Bury Market and the residential streets out towards Jericho, Elton and Tottington, through Walmersley and Chesham and into the quieter streets around Brandlesholme. Compact terraces, larger semis and period homes all get the method that suits them.
We provide roof cleaning across the whole of Bury. If your area is not listed, get in touch, we almost certainly cover it.

“Had my k rend walls and garage cleaned and could not be happier with the results. All come up like new and the stone copings look great again. Professional service and highly recommended.”
“I am so pleased with the work carried out by Hydro Cleanse to remove moss growth on the roof of our house. The house has a large extension to the side and rear. The steam cleaning is done without any need to stand on the roof. It is done from a scaffold tower and extendable pole. Both lads were hard working and competent throughout. I am sure more work will come their way by the results from this project. Highly Recommended 👌”
“Was very concerned about chosing the best trader to clean my Mums roof. My daughter spotted Hydro Cleanse online and I did all the relevant checks. I definitely shouldn't have worried as Peter was absolutely marvelous! He explained the procedure in detail and put my mind at rest. The work carried out was spot on! Thorough, efficient and very hard working guys. They cleaned up afterwards and did an amazing job for a very fair price. Much appreciated 👏. Thanks guys! Highly recommend 👌”
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how heavy the moss is and which method suits the tiles. Send a couple of photos and your postcode for a free, fixed quote, usually the same day, with no hidden fees.
It depends on the tile type and how much moss there is. Steam cleaning suits most modern concrete and clay tiles, and hand scraping is better for older or more fragile tiles. Both are safe and effective, and we recommend whichever is right for your roof.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the outside of your property and an outdoor tap if the roof is being steam cleaned, we can do the work while you are out. We always agree the arrangements with you beforehand.
We take care to protect the garden. Sensitive plants are pre-wetted and rinsed before and after application, and the biocide is safe once dry. Keep pets indoors while it is being applied and until it has fully dried.
