Roof Cleaning Edinburgh & West Lothian

Looking for expert roof cleaning in Edinburgh? You’re in the right place. At JM Exterior Cleaning, we specialise in safe, effective, and eco-conscious roof cleaning services tailored to residential and commercial properties across Edinburgh and the Lothians. With years of local experience, we understand the unique challenges Scottish weather brings — and we’re here to protect your home from the damage moss, algae, and grime can cause.

Why Roof Cleaning in Edinburgh Is Essential

In Edinburgh’s damp climate, moss, lichen, algae and organic debris thrive — especially on north-facing roofs or shaded areas under trees. While this build-up may seem cosmetic, it can cause serious issues over time, such as:

• Clogged gutters and drainage

• Broken or dislodged roof tiles

• Water ingress and internal damp

• Shortened roof lifespan

• Decreased property value and kerb appeal

Regular professional roof cleaning is a simple and cost-effective way to avoid expensive repairs, improve appearance, and protect your biggest asset: your home.
