Roof cleaning in Swinton and Pendlebury
Swinton and Pendlebury are mostly 1930s semis, post-war homes and newer estates, with Victoria Park, Clifton Country Park and the Wardley and Moorside greenery all close by. Hipped and gable roofs in concrete tiles are the norm, and the north-facing slopes are usually the ones going green.
Concrete tiles are porous, so once moss gets a hold it roots into the surface. The tiles stay wet, frost damages them, and the gutters fill up with what washes off. Clean it early and the roof lasts years longer.
We remove the moss by steam or by hand, never a jet wash, clear the gutters and downpipes, and treat every slope with a professional biocide. Fixed price, photos of the finished job and a 2-year no-moss guarantee.
Roof cleaners in Swinton
Swinton and Pendlebury are mostly inter-war semis, post-war houses and newer estates, many with concrete tiles. There are older terraces with slate near Station Road and around Pendlebury.
Concrete tiles hold moss well because the surface is rough and porous. As roof cleaners we steam them, which gets into the texture of the tile without stripping it.
About Swinton and Pendlebury
Swinton and Pendlebury take in three wards, Swinton & Wardley, Swinton Park and Pendlebury & Clifton, which had around 16,650 households between them at the 2021 Census. Semis are the most common home, 58% of them in Swinton Park, where about two thirds of households own their home.
A lot of the housing went up between the wars, including estates of modest semis around Hazelhurst and Broadoak Park. Swinton & Wardley also has plenty of terraces, over a third of its homes.
Victoria Park opened in 1897 in the grounds of Swinton Old Hall and still has its Grade II listed bandstand. Clifton Country Park is 48 hectares of woods and lakes on the Irwell, with the remains of Wet Earth Colliery. Houses near either tend to have the shadiest, greenest roofs we see round here.
We clean roofs near Moorside High School, Co-op Academy Swinton, St Ambrose Barlow RC High School, Moorside Primary, St Peter's CofE Primary and St Mary's RC Primary, and all along the A580 East Lancashire Road, which opened in 1934.
The name means 'swine farmstead'. L. S. Lowry lived at 117 Station Road in Pendlebury from 1909 to 1948, and Agecroft Hall was taken down in 1925 and rebuilt in Richmond, Virginia.
Our Swinton roof cleaning process
- 1
Look first, then pick the method
We check the tiles before anything else. Slate and older clay get hand scraped, concrete tiles get low-pressure steam. Nobody stands on your roof and there is no jet wash.
- 2
Moss off and bagged
We work down the roof slope by slope, including the valleys, hips and ridges where moss sits thickest, and bag it as we go.
- 3
Gutters and downpipes cleared
Everything that comes off the roof ends up in the gutters, so we empty them and check every downpipe runs clear.
- 4
Biocide on the whole roof
A professional DDAC biocide is soft washed over every tile. It kills the spores that are left so the moss does not come back, and it is what our 2-year guarantee rests on.
- 5
Tidy up and photos
Paths, drives and drains are swept and washed down, the bags go in the van, and you get before and after photos.
Moss removal in Swinton
For moss removal in Swinton we find the worst of it is usually on north-facing slopes and on roofs near Victoria Park and Clifton Country Park, where the trees keep things damp.
We clear the moss, clean the gutters and downpipes, and treat the roof with biocide. If it comes back inside two years we re-treat it free.
Soft washing vs pressure washing
Why we will never put a jet wash on your tiles.
How we clean a roof
- Moss lifted by hand or with low-pressure steam
- Biocide kills the roots and spores, not just the surface
- Tiles, slates and ridges left intact
- Stays clean for years, guaranteed for two
- No water pushed under tiles or into the loft
Jet washing a roof
- High pressure blasts the surface off concrete and clay
- Takes the top off the moss and leaves the roots
- Cracks slates and lifts tiles
- Moss is usually back within a year or two
- Forces water up under the tiles and into the loft

What our customers say
“Found Hydro Cleanse on facebook after looking at his previous work I thought I would ask him to come and have a look at the house. Two other companies that quoted me wanted to charge for either scaffolding or a cherry picker to clean the roof because to the awkward angles. Peter has his own mobile scaffolding which made a massive difference the price. They cleaned the roof/gutters/conservatory all chemically treated and soft washed some rendering at the front which had come up amazing. Highly recommend will definitely be having them back to clean our solar panels and astroturf in the back garden.”
“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 👌”
“Most awesome roof cleaning job, Been 6 months now since it's been done, well into the winter and my roof still looks like it did when it was done, Amazing job very very much recommend! They get the job done with NO MESS & VERY PROFESSIONAL, NO CORNERS CUT, they even sent a drone up to show the job the completed job. I'm happy to personally reference and show the job he has done at mine, if you request the guy at hydro cleanse to get you in touch with me. THANKS AGAIN!”
Swinton roof cleaning FAQs
How much does roof cleaning in Swinton cost?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the tiles and how heavy the moss is. Send your postcode and a couple of photos for a fixed quote, usually the same day, with no hidden fees.
Can you clean a new-build roof?
Yes. New builds grow moss too, especially near trees and open ground. Treating a young roof early keeps it looking new for longer.
What happens to the moss once it is off the roof?
We bag it and take it away, clear the gutters, and sweep and wash down paths and drives before we leave.
Do I need to be in?
No. We only need access to the outside of the house. Most customers are at work while we clean, and we send photos when we finish.
Is the biocide safe for pets and plants?
Yes, once it has dried. We wet and cover delicate plants, apply it at low pressure onto the roof only, and ask you to keep pets inside while it goes on.
