Ensure the long-term success and efficiency of your solar energy investment with our professional pre-solar roof preparation services. Operating across Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, and West Suffolk, our family-run team works alongside housing associations, solar installation companies, and private homeowners to clear roofs before installation. Utilizing safe, low-pressure steam or meticulous scraping methods from our own 21-metre tracked cherry picker, we eliminate destructive moss and clear gutters, providing a flawless surface for your new solar array.
Installing expensive solar panels over a roof covered in moss, lichen, and debris is a recipe for future structural and operational failures. Once solar panels are fixed into place, accessing the tiles beneath them becomes virtually impossible without paying for a costly, full system decommissioning. Moss trapped under the racking system retains moisture, damages tile integrity, and can lead to severe water ingress, while unmanaged organic growth can shade panels and reduce energy yields. Pro Clean Xtreme positions itself as the regional specialist in pre-solar roof preparation, delivering the compliant, deep-cleansing service that contractors need to ensure solar systems are laid onto a sound, spotless foundation.
Removing all moss and biological growth now prevents the need to dismantle, unbolt, and reinstall your solar array in the future to fix hidden tile decay or severe leaks beneath the panels.
We provide solar installation companies with full, project-specific RAMS and public liability documentation prior to arrival, ensuring your site compliance is flawless and your installation schedule stays on track.
Pre-cleaning removes any established moss spores that could creep out from beneath the panels, climb over the glass, and cause heavy micro-shading, keeping your solar generation operating at peak output.
Our team never sets foot on your roof tiles. By utilizing our own 21-metre tracked access platform, we thoroughly de-moss and treat the installation zone without causing the hairline tile fractures that compromise a roof.
Meticulously preparing your roof surfaces before the solar brackets are fitted protects your property asset and guarantees maximum solar efficiency.

Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive regarding our exterior cleaning and access hire services. If you have a specific query not covered below, please feel free to get in touch with our team.
Once solar panels are mounted, the tiles beneath them are permanently covered, making future moss removal or tile repairs impossible without removing the entire solar array. Cleaning beforehand removes all moisture-retaining moss, ensures the structural integrity of the tiles, and prevents moss from growing outward and shading your panels.
Yes, frequently. We are fully set up for commercial subcontracting. We understand the tight deadlines and compliance requirements of commercial procurement, which is why we provide comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) and insurance documentation before arriving on-site.
Depending on the condition of the tiles and the preference of the installer, we use either manual, specialized scraping tools with profile-matched blades or our advanced low-pressure steam cleaning systems. Both methods are completely non-destructive and rely on heat or manual care rather than aggressive pressure.
We coordinate closely with your chosen solar installation company or scaffolding provider. Because we operate our own highly maneuverable 21-metre tracked cherry picker, we can often complete the pre-solar clean right before the main scaffolding is erected or work safely around their planned access layout.
Yes, absolutely. Roof scraping and steam cleaning naturally dislodge large volumes of moss and silt. As part of our strict process, we temporarily block downpipes to protect your drainage, clear all internal gutter debris completely, and leave the entire guttering system flowing flawlessly before the solar team arrives.
