I run a double glazing company and it’s great that I have found a company I feel comfortable to put forward to my customers for a roof and gutter treatment before we do a conservatory to stop all the moss falling down on it . But just to be able to recommend a company to keep our new windows clean after we have installed them knowing that the correct chemicals will be used with great care . I am looking forward to seeing what else they can do for us . We would highly recommend the alfresco group

Should I Be Concerned About My Plants & Landscaping
Short answer: YES.
Roof, render and wall cleaning always carries an inherent risk to your landscaping and plant life. We can’t guarantee that some of your landscaping will not be affected by the cleaning process (and you should seriously question any exterior building cleaning contractor who does make such a guarantee…). What we do guarantee is that we’ll take every precaution to protect your plant life. We also guarantee that if something negative does happen after your cleaning service we will be there for you to help you get it rectified. In order to mitigate as much risk as possible, we use a variety of strategies to protect landscaping and plant life:
These precautions protect your plant as much as possible. In the unlikely event that you do notice any issues after service, such as wilting or browning leaves, wilting flowers, etc., please give us a call. We promise to take care of you!

How much does it cost to have my roof cleaned ?
Each roof cleaning job is different, and many factors are taken into consideration when developing a quote. Pitch of the roof, square footage, degree of black stains, is moss and/or lichen present, perimeter landscaping, accessibility, water point & pressure, etc.
Only a correct inspection can fully determine the work required and with us it’s a FREE quotation with no pressure from pushy salesmen.
Do you offer partial cleaning on just the bad areas?
Yes, we can. Alfresco Group understands that certain cleaning needs may apply, such as touching up only the front visible roof to increase the curb appeal for a home for sale. But it is highly recommended to avoid a partial cleaning and treatment. The un-treated sections most likely already have bacteria and algae spores you cannot see. These spores will travel to the treated roof sections and expedite contamination and re-growth. Therefore we do not offer the 5 year “spot free” limited warranty on partial cleanings and treatments.
Incidentally our 5 year “spot free” limited warranty is transferable if a home is sold.
What are my payment options?
We request payment made in full upon completion of work. We accept bank payment, Visa, and Master Card.
Are you trained, certified and insured?
Yes, Alfresco group employees have completed certification training through SoftWash Systems, attended SoftWash hands on seminars and attend yearly SoftWash training events to stay current on all techniques, methods and SoftWash application methods.
Alfresco Group carries a £1 Million Commercial Liability Policy for your added protection and peace of mind.
Do you clean other things like playground structures, fencing and driveways?
Yes. Our SoftWash process provides fantastic results on vinyl siding, hardy siding, painted surfaces, playgrounds, pool decks, pavements, canopy tents and just about all other exterior surfaces. SoftWash cleans and brightens without the abrasive damage of a pressure-washer!
So please give us a call to discuss other exterior surfaces.
Is it guaranteed to get my roof clean?
Yes. Our SoftWash Systems proven process and proprietary solutions are guaranteed to successfully remove the ugly black streaks from your roof the day of cleaning and treatment. Our Alfresco Group SoftWash process provides a 100% kill ration on bacteria, algae, moss and lichen! Our 3 in 1 method cleans the roof of black streaks, provides a 100% kill ratio of all bacteria, moss and lichen to include roots, and inhibits the return of all growth.
We are so confident in out process and methods that we provide a “Spot Free” 5 year limited warranty with every complete roof cleaning!
Will you need to walk on my roof?
95% of the time all of our roof cleaning and treatment work can be done from the gutter line using ladders, or even from the ground!
Will the cleaning solution damage my plants, pets or family?
Specific plant and property protection training has been completed and protective measures are part of our everyday operating procedures! People, plants and pets remain safe! All of our solutions are eco-friendly and bio-degradable. We ask that pets and their families stay in doors until the job is complete. Certainly we understand people need to come and go. This is accomplished with just a little coordination in the work area. Pets are free to go outside once the job is complete and the work site is cleaned up.
Our crew is trained to do everything within our power to protect plant and property! We pre-wet all nearby plants and vegetation as a precaution, then continue as needed during the cleaning and treatment just to be extra protective to your plant beds. We take plant protection one step further and apply a proprietary plant wash containing plant nutrients, a chemical neutraliser and apply to all nearby plants and vegetation as an added precaution once the job is complete! This plant wash and rinse is specially formulated to mitigate any potential concerns. Some customers say this is the first time in a long time their plants have been fertiliser, watered and treated so well!
Alfresco Group SoftWash takes every foreseeable precaution to insure that your landscaping and personnel property are protected and remain in the same condition or better than when we arrived at your site.
How much pressure do you use on my roof and siding?
First, we will never use a pressure washer or high pressure on your roof or siding. Our professional grade system is designed to operate and deliver the application of cleaning solutions at 45 -50 psi. That’s about the strength of your garden hose or a hard rain fall. Our solutions do the work, gently and as recommended by roofing manufacturers.
Alfresco Group SoftWash can clean your roof, siding, fencing and other exterior surfaces safely.
How do you clean a roof, siding, fencing and other exterior surfaces?
Alfresco Group SoftWash technicians have been trained to use the premier SoftWash Systems cleaning and treatment process involving the use of professional grade, low-pressure applications of the proprietary SoftWash Systems cleaning solution. Each exterior surface to be treated is analysed to determine the best course of treatment.
We will not use a pressure washer around your property!
Can bacteria, algae, moss or lichen cause roof damage?
Yes! Un-treated roofs may lose up to 50% of the expected roof shingle life cycle. The black streaks (bacteria) are eating the limestone in the shingle and causing erosion. Roof bacteria, moss, lichen and algae all cause granular loss from shingles. The bacteria weaken the shingle, the fiber root systems moss and lichen cause discoloration, and can cause small cracks in shingles. The resulting damage will lesson the life cycle of the roof. Granular loss also reduces reflection of the suns UV rays and protection from the elements.
The earlier your roof is cleaned and treated the better!
Alfresco SoftWash can remove the bacteria, algae, moss or lichen from your roof which extends the life of your roof!
Transfer 5 Year Spot Free Warranty?
A spot free warranty for roofs which lasts for 5 years and can be transferred to a new owner if you sell your home.
