Roof and exterior cleaning in Kelso
Kelso is one of the most attractive market towns in the Borders, with a distinctive mix of Georgian architecture around The Square, traditional stone cottages, and modern housing on the outskirts. Exterior cleaning here needs to respect the character of the building while dealing with the practical effects of moss, algae, and weathering.
What we offer in Kelso
Roof moss removal, stone cleaning, and render care are common needs in Kelso and the surrounding villages. Properties near the Tweed and Teviot confluence can be particularly prone to damp and algae. The town's mix of dressed sandstone, rubble stone, and modern render means a one-size-fits-all approach is never appropriate.

Roof cleaning in Kelso
Moss, lichen, and algae accumulate on roofs across Kelso, particularly on north-facing slopes and properties sheltered by trees. Our roof cleaning service starts with a ground-level assessment of the roof covering, pitch, access, and level of growth. We then recommend the safest method for the material, whether that is careful manual removal, soft washing, or biocide treatment. Gutter clearing of fallen debris is included as standard.

Rendered walls across Kelso develop green algae staining, particularly on shaded and north-facing elevations. K Rend, roughcast, monocouche, and traditional sand-and-cement renders each need a surface-appropriate cleaning method. We use soft washing with specialist biocide solutions that clean the render safely and kill organic growth at the root, producing results that last significantly longer than pressure washing alone.

Block paving, concrete, tarmac, and resin driveways across Kelso all accumulate moss, algae, and surface staining over time. A green or slippery driveway is both a safety hazard and a poor first impression. Our driveway cleaning service assesses the material, joint condition, and drainage before applying the right cleaning method. We can also advise on re-sanding block paving joints and sealing options.

Patios become slippery and unusable when algae, moss, and black spot take hold. We clean natural stone, concrete slabs, porcelain, and Indian sandstone patios using methods suited to each material. Gutter cleaning is often combined with roof cleaning, because moss debris from the roof is the main cause of gutter blockages. We clear all gutters, hoppers, and downpipes and check for damage or leaks during the process.
