— About This Service
B.Short Roofing provides careful, no-nonsense roof cleaning across Brentwood and surrounding Essex towns. We use low-pressure or manual methods suitable for slates, concrete and clay tiles, plus biocidal treatments to slow moss and algae return. Every clean includes gutter clearing and a roof inspection to spot slipped tiles, leadwork issues or gutter faults. Free, honest quotes from a Checkatrade-approved roofer with 20 years' experience.
— Our Process
We inspect the roof from ground and ladder, assess tile type and access, then give a clear, no-obligation quote and recommended method.
Using low-pressure jetting, soft brushing or manual scraping where needed, we remove moss, algae and debris and clear gutters and outlets.
We apply a biocidal treatment to slow regrowth, provide a written report of any defects found and advise on repairs or maintenance required.
— Benefits
Removing moss and debris stops frost damage and blocked gutters, reducing tile breakage and delaying expensive reroofs.
Based in Brentwood with 20 years' roofing experience and Checkatrade approval, Ben Short brings practical, tradesman-led solutions.
What we clean and why it matters
We remove moss, lichen, algae and accumulated debris that trap moisture and cause slipped or cracked tiles. Our method is tailored to the roof: soft brushing and low-pressure rinsing for concrete and clay tiles, careful manual scraping for fragile slates, and specialist treatment for valley and lead areas. Clearing gutters and downpipes is included so water can run freely and you avoid internal damp or soffit rot.
Safe, insured and local
We work from secure platforms and ladders or, where required, use rope access to protect tiles and gutters. All work is covered by public liability insurance and comes with a guarantee.

— FAQ
Not when done correctly. We use low-pressure rinsing, soft brushes or manual removal on delicate slates to avoid lifting or breaking tiles. If tiles are already fragile or loose we note this in the inspection and recommend repairs before aggressive cleaning.
