Commercial and Industrial Moss and Algae Removal

Don’t let moss damage or spoil the look of your commercial property

Professional roof cleaning services will help to reduce the risk of moss and algae growth on the surface of your commercial Roof. Algae and moss typically form on most roof types which causes permanent disfigurement with visible black streaks and stains. Furthermore, moss will hold onto water, and if it is in sufficient quantity, it can cause leaks and dampness and block guttering and downpipes. This is because when these organisms take hold, they can, over time, lead to water leaks, severe structural damage, and serious health problems for those that come into contact with it. Professional cleanings eliminate this hazard by removing all evidence of moss and algae growth. 

Commercial Roof Cleaning Service - Vertex Cleaning Solutions


Commercial roof cleaning is essential for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of commercial and industrial buildings. With commercial roof cleaning, you can extend the life of your roof and protect your assets from costly damage. 


Commercial and industrial buildings commonly have flat or gently sloping roofs due to the ease of access for maintenance and low cost. However, surprisingly some commercial roofs are not regularly cleaned as part of preventative maintenance, and this can prove a costly oversight. When compared to the risk of replacing damaged roofs due to poor maintenance, the cost of roof cleaning is meagre in relative terms


The many roofing materials used for commercial construction require different cleaning methods for the best results. But don't worry; Vertex Cleaning Solutions cater for all your commercial and industrial roof cleaning needs. We have all the necessary equipment to clean all industrial and commercial roof types.

How Often Do Commercial Roofs Need Cleaning?

Commercial roof cleaning maintenance should be carried out periodically as part planned preventative maintenance. As general rule we recommend this activity should be carried out at least annually and most sources agree with this; however, this schedule could be unrealistic for commercial and industrial property owners in the current financial climate. However, a professional commercial roof clean by Vertex will protect your commercial roof from moss and algae damage for at least two years and, in some cases, longer.


The Benefits of Commercial Roof Cleaning

There are many benefits to keeping your commercial roof clean, including:


  • Increased curb appeal: A clean roof adds to the overall appearance of your commercial building, making it more attractive to customers and employees.


  • Improved energy efficiency: Dirt, grime, and other types of buildup can interfere with your commercial or industrial roof's ability to reflect heat and light, which can increase your energy bills. A clean roof helps to reduce energy costs by improving its ability to reflect heat and light.


  • Extended roof life: A dirty roof can be more prone to leaks, which can cause water damage and other types of damage that can shorten the life of commercial roofs. Regular cleaning helps to prevent this damage and extends the life of your roof.


  • Improved air quality: Dirt and other contaminants on your roof can get into the air inside your commercial building, leading to poor air quality. A clean roof helps to improve indoor air quality, which is important for the health and well-being of employees and customers.


  • Increased property value: A clean roof helps to increase the value of your commercial or industrial property, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you decide to sell your building in the future.


How to Choose the Right Commercial Roof Cleaning Company

When it comes to choosing a commercial roof cleaning service, there are a few factors to consider. Here are some tips to help you choose the right company for your needs:


  • Experience: Look for a commercial roof cleaning company with a proven track record of providing high-quality commercial roof cleaning services.
  • Equipment: Choose a company that uses the latest safety equipment and commercial roof cleaning techniques to ensure that your roof is cleaned effectively and efficiently.
  • Safety: Make sure that the company you choose follows all safety regulations for working at height and has a good safety record.
  • Price: Compare prices from commercial roof cleaning companies to find one that offers competitive rates and excellent value for money.
  • Reputation: Look for a roof cleaning company with a positive reputation in the local community because this is a good indicator of the quality of their services. Check their reviews and case studies to see how experienced they are.

Commercial Roof Cladding Cleaning

Commercial roof cladding example

Cladding is one of the most common types of roofing materials used on commercial buildings, usually made from metal or plastic and can come in various colours. The purpose of cladding is to protect your building from the elements while adding aesthetic value to its appearance. In addition to looking bad, cladding that needs to be cleaned periodically can leak water into the interior space below during rainstorms or snowfalls because they've become porous due to years without proper maintenance. However, if appropriately maintained, the roof cleaning can lessen the impact of oxidation (rusting), which will prolong the serviceability of the roof.

Commercial Roof Cleaning Reduces the Likelihood of Roof Damage

Having a professional roof cleaning carried out for your commercial property means that any structural damage will be identified and addressed, thus preventing further harm to the property from a leaking roof. Proactive commercial roof cleaning will reduce repair costs and minimise expensive downtime. Commercial roof cleaning as part of planned preventative maintenance reduces the risk of having your roof replaced prematurely due to dirt build-up or damage caused by moss, algae and lichen. 

How Often Should Commercial Roofs be Cleaned?

Commercial roof cleaning maintenance should be carried out periodically as part planned preventative maintenance. As general rule we recommend this activity should be carried out at least annually and most sources agree with this; however, this schedule could be unrealistic for commercial and industrial property owners in the current financial climate. However, a professional commercial roof clean by Vertex will protect your commercial roof from moss and algae damage for at least two years and, in some cases, longer.

Commercial Roof Sheeting Steam Cleaning

For cleaning commercial roof sheeting, we often utilise a hot-pressure washing which is suitable for removing bird guano, lichen, moss and algae. This build of organic material can cause the roof coating to flake off due to the damage from the lichen and moss spores, which will break down the material over time if not cleaned. However, Vertex Cleaning Solutions can repair roof sheeting damage by applying specialist coatings and sealants to reinstate the roof's integrity.


Commercial Skylight Cleaning

Commercial skylight cleaning is a gratifying job because it can tangibly increase the amount of natural light in buildings, which is a positive factor in improving the working environment.


Skylights require periodic roof cleaning maintenance because polycarbonate and GRP sheets are prone to infestation from algae and lichen. These unsightly organic materials can give the impression that the building is not being maintained to a high standard. For commercial and industrial facilities managers, this is not a good look.


These roof cleaning services can be completed as part of a holistic exterior cleaning package that we can provide to reduce costs. Other cleaning maintenance types, such as commercial gutter cleaning, surface cleaning and cladding cleaning, can be provided as a low-cost package.


Hot and Cold Pressure Washing for Commercial Roof Cleaning

Vertex Cleaning Solutions can use commercial-grade high-pressure washers for cleaning roof surfaces depending on the conditions and material of the roof. We deploy hot and cold pressure washing techniques, which are effective at cleaning most surfaces.


Commercial Biocide Treatments for Roof Cleaning

A biocide is a chemical that kills moss, algae and lichen, often used in commercial cleaning to prevent the growth of these organisms on surfaces such as roofs and walls. Biocides effectively kill unwanted microorganisms without damaging human tissue or other materials in your building. 


We use biocide treatments to protect your roof surface from the damage caused by moss, lichen and algae. Applying the chemical is a robust measure to prevent the quick return of the organic material that builds up on industrial and commercial roofs. This service is provided as part of our commercial roof cleaning solutions.
