Answer first

Roof jobs need narrower shortlists than patio or driveway work. The key questions are about access, debris handling, gutter protection, and whether the provider is actually roof-safe.

Decision factors

  • Roof pitch, access constraints, and debris-control plan
  • Whether treatment is manual, low-pressure, biocidal, or staged
  • How gutter cleanup and regrowth expectations are handled

Checklist

  • Ask what method is being used and why it suits the roof
  • Confirm how gutters, downpipes, and surrounding surfaces will be protected
  • Share roof photos and note whether access equipment is likely

When to hire a specialist

  • Hire a specialist when the roof needs manual removal, treatment, or careful access planning
  • Avoid generic pressure-only offers if the provider cannot explain roof-safe handling clearly
