Extra protection
Do you want to enjoy your cleaned tile roof for an extra long time? By having your roof impregnated, you not only protect it from the weather but also reduce your energy bills.

This is because it allows the specialist to work more efficiently and will cost less fuel. The total cost of cleaning and impregnation comes out to approximately between £2,800 and £3,500.
What does the price structure of roof cleaning look like?
The prices for having your roof cleaned are structured as follows:
As you can see, the biggest costs incurred are labour costs. This is something you can primarily influence by your choice of specialist. We recommend that you request several quotes and compare them. That way, you can choose the best price for your project.
What choices determine the price of roof cleaning?
Choice 1: Type of roof
The first factor that affects the price is the type of roof on your home. Having roof tiles, EPDM and bitumen cleaned usually costs between £6 and £8. These are often hard surfaces that can easily be tackled with a pressure washer without damage. A thatched roof needs a more sophisticated approach than a ceramic tile roof. This is because the thatch can be easily damaged and will have to be treated carefully by a roof cleaner.
Choice 2: Coating
To protect your cleaned roof from weather and moss for longer, it is wise to have it coated. Besides the protection offered by coating, you can also choose to give the coating a certain colour. Having your tiled roof coated costs £10 to £15 per square metre.
Choice 3: Impregnation
In addition to coating your roof, you can also choose to impregnate your roof and/or facade. When impregnating the roof, specialists will first clean the roof. A colourless liquid is then applied, which is water-repellent and reduces the adhesion of dirt. This prevents moisture damage and keeps your roof clean and beautiful for longer.
Choice 4: Facade maintenance
If you have your roof cleaned, perhaps your facade is also in need of cleaning. If you have your roof and facade cleaning done at once, you can save on the total cost. Besides, it will make your entire property look good again.
