Manual scraping. No tile damage.
Every tile inspected before we start. Scraping technique adjusted to the tile type. No shortcuts.
From Headingley back-to-backs to Alwoodley detached — why Leeds needs a tailored approach.
Leeds has one of the most diverse housing stocks in Yorkshire. In LS6 you’ll find Victorian back-to-backs with original Welsh slate roofs sitting next to Edwardian terraces with clay plain tiles. Cross the city to Roundhay and there are large semis with complex multi-hip rooflines. Out in Alwoodley and Adel, detached properties often have steep pitches and multiple dormers. A one-size-fits-all pressure wash doesn’t work across this range — the technique has to match the tile.
I inspect every roof before starting, identify the tile type and condition, and adjust my approach accordingly. Stone flags get treated differently to modern interlocking concrete. You get before and after photos documenting everything. And the biocide treatment means results last — typically 2–4 years before moss begins returning, longer on south-facing pitches.
