Roof & Gutter Cleaning
If your gutters are overflowing, you've got moss dropping onto paths, or you simply want your roofline looking smart again, we can help.
PSE Roofing provides professional roof cleaning and gutter clearing for homes and businesses across Tunbridge Wells, West Kent, Sussex, Surrey and South East London.
We focus on safe methods (no risky "blast it with pressure" approach on delicate roofs), and we'll also keep an eye out for cracked tiles, failing pointing and other issues while we're up there.
Why roof and gutter cleaning matters
Blocked gutters and heavy moss growth can cause problems that are far more expensive than preventative maintenance:
- Stop overflows and damp: overflowing gutters can soak brickwork, damage render and lead to damp patches internally.
- Reduce roof wear: moss holds moisture and can accelerate weathering, especially on north-facing slopes.
- Improve kerb appeal: a clean roofline makes a property look well cared for.
- Spot issues early: broken tiles, split joints and loose brackets are easier to fix before they become leaks.
Our roof & gutter cleaning services
Choose a simple gutter clear or a full clean and treatment package:
- Gutter clearing: removal of leaves, moss and debris so water flows freely.
- Downpipe unblocking: clearing and flushing to make sure water is draining away properly.
- Gutter, fascia & soffit washing: optional external wash-down for a smarter finish.
- Manual moss removal: careful scraping/collection from tile surfaces where appropriate.
- Softwash / biocide treatment: helps kill spores and slow regrowth for longer-lasting results.

Example job
We recently cleared blocked gutters and treated moss growth on a family home where the downpipes were backing up during heavy rain. After clearing the system, flushing the downpipes and applying a treatment, the gutters flowed properly again and the roofline looked noticeably cleaner.

FAQs
Do you pressure wash roofs?
We typically avoid high-pressure washing on delicate roofs because it can dislodge tiles, force water under laps and damage protective finishes. We usually recommend manual removal and/or softwash treatment where appropriate.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most properties benefit from an annual clean. If you have overhanging trees or heavy moss fall, every 6 months is often best.
Can you clean just the gutters (no roof cleaning)?
Yes. Many customers book a gutter clear as a standalone service, with an optional wash-down of gutter exteriors, fascias and soffits.
Do you unblock downpipes?
Yes. We clear blockages and flush downpipes to help ensure rainwater drains away properly.
Do you cover areas outside Tunbridge Wells?
Yes. We provide roof moss removal and gutter cleaning across West Kent, Sussex, Surrey and South East London.
