Professional Roof Cleaning in Pollokshields
Is your roof in Pollokshields turning green? Moss, lichen and algae do more than spoil the look of your home. They hold water against the tiles, lift and crack them in frost, and wash down into your gutters and downpipes. B Varey & Son provides professional roof cleaning in Pollokshields that removes the growth safely and treats the roof so it stays clean for longer.
Pollokshields is famous for its large Victorian villas with natural slate roofs, alongside sandstone tenements to the east. As one of Glasgow’s greenest neighbourhoods, with huge mature trees and Maxwell Park nearby, Pollokshields roofs collect moss, lichen and leaf litter.
We are a family-run business based in Hamilton, with years of experience cleaning, treating and coating roofs across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
Roof Moss Removal in Pollokshields
Left untreated, moss on a roof in Pollokshields slowly causes damage. It traps moisture, which leads to frost damage and porous, crumbling tiles, and its roots work their way under tile edges. Clumps then fall into gutters, blocking them and causing overflows that stain walls and soak the fascias.
Professional moss removal stops this cycle, and a biocide treatment keeps new growth at bay for years.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
- Free roof inspection. We look at the condition of your tiles, ridges and gutters and give you a clear, fixed quote.
- Hand removal of moss. Thick moss is carefully scraped and brushed off by hand, working with the tiles so nothing is lifted or broken.
- Low-pressure soft wash. A gentle soft wash removes remaining dirt, algae and lichen without forcing water under the tiles.
- Biocide treatment. We apply a professional biocide that kills spores at the root and slows regrowth for years.
- Gutters cleared. All moss and debris is cleared from your gutters and taken away, leaving your property tidy.
- Optional roof coating. If your tiles are worn or faded, we can apply a protective roof coating to seal and refresh them.
Why We Never Pressure Wash Your Roof
Your roof is designed to shed rainwater, not withstand a pressure washer. Blasting tiles can strip their protective surface, crack slates and push water under the tiles. Our gentle method of hand removal, soft wash and biocide gets better long-term results without any of those risks.
Protect Your Roof With a Roof Coating
After cleaning, many Pollokshields homeowners choose to protect their tiles with a roof coating in Pollokshields. It seals weathered tiles, restores the colour and helps keep moss away for longer, for far less than the cost of a new roof.

Roof Cleaning FAQs: Pollokshields
Do you work on large villas in Pollokshields?
Yes. Large Victorian villas often have steep, high roofs with turrets and valleys. We use suitable access and clean by hand to protect the original slates.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Pollokshields?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how much moss there is and the access. Most homes in Pollokshields are cleaned in one or two days. We give every customer a free, fixed quote, with no obligation.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 3 to 5 years. Roofs under trees or facing north may need it more often. The biocide treatment we apply slows regrowth considerably.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. High-pressure washing can damage tiles and slates and force water into the roof. We remove moss by hand and use a low-pressure soft wash and biocide instead.
Will you clear my gutters too?
Yes. Clearing the gutters of moss and debris is included with every roof clean, and we take all the waste away.
Do you cover areas near Pollokshields?
Yes. As well as Pollokshields, we cover Pollokshields, Maxwell Park, Dumbreck, Kinning Park and Shields Road and the surrounding areas across Glasgow South.
