Professional Roof Cleaning in Shawlands
A clean roof makes a huge difference to the look of a home, and to how long the roof lasts. Our roof cleaning service in Shawlands removes years of moss and lichen, treats the surface to slow regrowth and leaves your gutters clear.
Shawlands is known for its red and blond sandstone tenements and terraces, with many natural slate roofs, along with some villas and newer flats. Tall buildings, narrow back courts and the trees of Queens Park and Pollok Park mean many roofs and roof slopes see little direct sun.
As a local family firm based in Hamilton, we have cleaned roofs right across Glasgow\’s south side and South Lanarkshire, and we are proud of our tidy, careful approach.
Roof Moss Removal in Shawlands
Moss acts like a sponge. It holds rainwater against your tiles, and in a Scottish winter that water freezes and expands, cracking tiles and pushing them out of place. As moss spreads into the joints between tiles, it can lift them and let water reach the felt and timbers underneath.
Loose moss also washes into gutters and downpipes, causing overflows, damp walls and blocked drains. Removing it early is far cheaper than repairing the damage later.
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
High-pressure jet washing is one of the most common causes of roof damage we see. It erodes the surface of tiles, making them more porous and quicker to grow moss again, and can force water into the roof space. At B Varey & Son we only use hand removal and low-pressure soft washing, so your roof in Shawlands is cleaned safely.
Protect Your Roof With a Roof Coating
After cleaning, many Shawlands homeowners choose to protect their tiles with a roof coating in Shawlands. 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: Shawlands
Can you clean roofs on tenements in Shawlands?
Yes. Tenement roofs need the right access and planning. We can work with owners and factors to clean and treat the roof and clear the gutters and rhones.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Shawlands?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how much moss there is and the access. Most homes in Shawlands 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 Shawlands?
Yes. As well as Shawlands, we cover Shawlands, Strathbungo, Crossmyloof, Queens Park and Pollokshaws and the surrounding areas across Glasgow South.
