Hi, I would just like to record my experience with Paul Egan. He is the most likeable person I have met in a very long time and his work and his team is from the top drawer. The timetable from arrival on both days was precise. The standard of work was of the highest quality and I can recommend Paul and his team to all and anyone wishing for a top class cleaning service. Exceeded customers expectations.

Paul power-washed our house today and did an absolutely fantastic job β€” so professional, efficient, and thorough. He also did our neighbour’s house a while back, and it still looks amazing, which is why we knew we could trust him. Highly recommend his work if you’re looking for great results that last!

This is the second time I’ve had Paul at our house. He previously cleaned & treated our roof, this time he treated our exterior walls. Both times Paul did an amazing job, he is professional & very thorough. I would highly recommend the Cleaning Doctors.

Paul was fantastic to work with. True to word on timings, easy to communicate with. He did a fab job and gave us a heads up on something we need to fix on our roof, we'd have no idea about otherwise. I would definitely recommend his services and we will be using him again with certainty.

Absolutely thrilled with the job Paul did for us over the past couple of days. Roof was covered in moss and it's come up sparkling. Paul cleaned down our gutters and windows too. Paul was easily contactable, on time and so hardworking. Thanks so much for your work Paul. Highly recommended to all.

Real examples of our moss and algae removal expertise.

Our Process

The Softwash Solution

We treat the infection, not just the symptom.

Biocide Application

1. Biocide Application

We apply a specialist biocide to the affected area. This is not just a cleaner; it's a treatment that penetrates the surface to kill the root system of moss, algae, and lichen.

Deep Penetration: Reaches the roots
Sterilisation: Kills invisible spores
Self Cleaning Process

2. Natural Cleansing

Once treated, the dead organic matter will weather away naturally over time with wind and rain. The surface actively resists new growth for months or even years.

Long-Term: Results improve over time
Maintenance: Fewer cleans needed

Black Spot

Removes stubborn lichen.

Red Algae

Treats unsightly wall stains.

Why Remove Moss & Algae?

The benefits of our professional biological treatments.

Prevents Damage

Moss holds water against surfaces, which can freeze and cause cracks in roof tiles, brickwork, and render.

Long Lasting Results

Our biocide treatments kill spores at the microscopic level, keeping surfaces cleaner for far longer than pressure washing alone.

Safe Soft Washing

We use low-pressure application methods that are safe for delicate surfaces like K-Rend, older roofs, and heritage stone.

Red Algae Removal

We effectively treat and remove the stubborn red streaks (Trentepohlia) often found on light-coloured walls.

Improves Safety

Algae on paths and decking is incredibly slippery. Our treatment removes this hazard, making your garden safe.

Stops Regrowth

The residual effect of our biocides continues to work after application, preventing new spores from germinating for months.

Price Promise

The price quoted includes all labour, equipment, and biocide solutions – no hidden extras. Same promise whether your home is in Ballynahown or the far end of our area.

Fully Insured

We carry full public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind while we work on your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our moss and algae treatments.

Why does moss come back after pressure washing?
Pressure washing only removes the visible growth. The spores and roots remain deep in the porous surface and quickly regrow. Our biocide treatment kills the root system, ensuring a much longer-lasting clean.
Is the treatment safe for my pets?
Yes, once the treated surface is dry, it is completely safe for pets and children. We take precautions during application to keep everyone safe.
How long does the treatment take to work?
You will see immediate results as we clean the surface, but the biocide continues to work for weeks, lightening the surface and preventing regrowth. The "self-cleaning" effect on roofs can continue for months.
Will it damage my roof tiles?
No. We use a "Soft Wash" method which relies on the cleaning product rather than high pressure. This is the recommended method for cleaning roofs as it avoids damaging the delicate surface of the tiles.
How often should I get this done?
Every surface is different and requires varying levels of maintenance with location, vegetation and climate all being a contributing factor to rate of regrowth. Ask our specially trained applicators for tailored advice relating to your specific needs.
