Expert Cardiff Roof Cleaning
Tailored Pressure Washing & Softwashing Solutions
The Ace Approach: The Right Tool for Every Roof At Ace Roof Cleaning Cardiff, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Every roof in South Wales—from the century-old slates in Pontcanna to the modern concrete tiles in Llanishen—has a different story to tell. Our mission is to restore your roof’s beauty and structural integrity using the most effective method for its specific material and condition.
We specialize in both High-Performance Pressure Washing and Advanced Softwash Treatments. While 90% of the roofs we encounter in Cardiff are best served by our gentle Softwash process, we maintain industrial-grade pressure washing equipment for those tougher, more resilient surfaces that require a mechanical deep clean.
Our Step-by-Step Roof Cleaning Process
Initial Inspection & Property Protection Every project begins with a detailed assessment of your roof’s material, age, and structural integrity. We then secure the site, protecting your landscaping, garden furniture, and sensitive plants with protective sheeting to ensure your property remains pristine.
Strategic Moss Removal (Manual or Pressure) Depending on our initial assessment, we employ the most effective method to remove bulk organic growth. For delicate or older tiles, we use manual scraping with tools profiled to your specific tile shape. For structurally robust tiles with deep-seated grime, we utilize precision pressure washing to clear away heavy debris instantly. Both methods are performed with surgical care to ensure the roof is clear and ready for treatment.
Comprehensive Gutter Clearing A clean roof is useless if the drainage is blocked. We ensure that every scrap of debris, moss, and silt from the cleaning process is cleared from your guttering system and downpipes, ensuring your home is fully prepared for the Cardiff rain.
Advanced Chemical Softwash Application Regardless of the initial removal method, we treat the surface with a professional-grade, HSE-approved biocide. This vital step penetrates the porous surface of the tile to neutralize microscopic spores of moss, algae, and lichen, effectively “sanitizing” your roof to prevent rapid regrowth.
Final Rinse & Property Clean-up We perform a thorough low-pressure rinse to reveal the final result. Our team then conducts a full perimeter clean-up, washing down windows, walls, and walkways, leaving your home and garden spotless and your roof looking like new.

Our Two Primary Cleaning Methods
Professional Softwashing (Our 90% Solution)
For the vast majority of residential homes, Softwashing is our preferred method. This process relies on HSE-approved, biodegradable cleaning solutions rather than brute force.
-
How it works: We apply a specialized biocide that kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root.
-
Why we use it: It is incredibly gentle on older tiles and porous materials. It doesn’t just “clean” the surface; it sanitizes it, preventing regrowth for years.
-
The Result: A long-lasting, deep clean that preserves the manufacturer’s warranty on your tiles.
Precision Pressure Washing
Pressure washing remains a powerful and viable tool in our arsenal. When a roof is structurally sound and faces heavy, compacted debris or stubborn carbon staining, a controlled, high-pressure clean is often the most effective way to see immediate results.
-
How it works: Using professional-grade flat-surface cleaners and adjustable nozzles, we strip away years of grime, moss, and atmospheric pollution.
-
Why we use it: It provides an instant transformation and is often the best choice for specific types of non-porous or heavily soiled industrial roofing.
-
The Result: An immediate “wow factor” restoration that prepares the surface for future protective treatments.
