Roof cleaning in Whitby: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You’re responsible for maintaining your roof, and that includes any cleaning. Some insurers recommend preventative maintenance, especially if moss has led to water damage before.

For renters:

Roof upkeep is usually your landlord’s job. If you notice moss build-up or leaks, report it to them or your letting agent. If it’s affecting your conservatory or an extension you’ve added, check your tenancy agreement and keep a record of all communications.

Emergency roof cleaning in Whitby

Some jobs just can’t wait. Look out for:

• Blocked downpipes or overflowing gutters due to moss
