Roof cleaning in Assen
After the winter, the scene is familiar: green moss growth between the roof tiles, dark streaks along the ridge, and algae buildup on the shaded side. We see this return every spring at many homes in Assen. We would be happy to stop by to assess the actual condition of your roof.

Do you recognize these signs on your roof?
A roof often looks okay from the ground, but the signs that maintenance is needed are usually there sooner than you think. Many homeowners in Assen notice one or more of the following:
- Green or black deposits of moss and algae on the roof tiles
- Dark streaks under the ridge tile or along the roof edge
- Roof tiles that feel brittle, show cracks, or have become visibly porous
- Damp patches on the ceiling, in the attic, or around the chimney
- Higher heating costs due to a decrease in the insulation value of the roof
- Solar panels that yield less than before
- A roof that looks unkempt, dull, or unevenly colored from across the street.
Do you recognize one or more of these points? Then it is time for a professional roof cleaning. Waiting almost always costs money. Moss retains moisture. That moisture expands during frost, microscopically tearing the tile open, and with every freezing period, that crack grows larger. What starts as a green haze sometimes ends in a leak or a tile lying loose on the batten. The sooner you intervene, the smaller the repair will be. We advise not based on our own wallets, but on what your roof needs.
Roof coating with Nowocoat: protection that lasts for years
A clean roof looks fresh, but the tiles themselves have become porous after decades. Cleaning does not solve this. With a roof coating, you build up a new, water-repellent protective layer that gives moss much less of a chance and often extends the lifespan of your roof by ten to fifteen years.
We work exclusively with Nowocoat, for us the Ferrari of roof coatings. Strong adhesion, high UV resistance, and colorfastness that lasts for years. Cheaper coatings look fine for the first year, but often yellow or peel after just four or five years. We do not want to risk our work to that. We always apply two full coats: the first penetrates the pores of the tile and cures completely, followed by the second coat for coverage and color. You can choose from classic anthracite, red, or more modern shades.
Not every roof is suitable. In the case of asbestos, severe damage, or a roof that is actually due for replacement, we will tell you honestly. With sound roof tiles, like many homes in Marsdijk and Peelo from the 1970s and 1980s, Nowocoat makes the difference between having to return every few years or having peace of mind for years.
How much do roof cleaning and roof coating cost in Assen?
Roof cleaning in Assen costs an average of €10 per m², and roof coating €20 per m², both excluding VAT. Assen is a green city, and we see this reflected on the roofs: in neighborhoods with many trees, moss has free rein, especially on the north side. Coating is only possible if the roof tiles are in sufficiently good condition. We assess this honestly during the free roof inspection, so you never pay for a treatment your roof does not need.
This is how we clean and coat your roof
Roof cleaning is skilled work. Not only because of the technique, but above all because of safety. We always work with fall protection and according to our VCA standards. You never have to go onto the roof yourself.
Inspection from the ground and the roof
Before we begin, we inspect the roof from the ground as well as from above. We assess the condition of the tiles, ridge tiles, leadwork, and gutters. We report any broken or shifted tiles immediately, so you know exactly where you stand.
1
Cleaning with boiling water under pressure
We clean with boiling water under carefully controlled pressure. No chemicals, no waiting times. The combination of heat and the right pressure kills moss, algae, and fungi instantly and rinses them away in one movement. We adjust the pressure to the type of pan.
2
Minor repairs and gutters
During the cleaning, we immediately take care of any minor repairs. We also always clean the gutter, which is full of loosened dirt after cleaning. Afterwards, we allow the roof to dry completely before proceeding to the coating, if applicable.

Roof coating with Nowocoat (optional)
Would you like to benefit from the result for longer? Then we will apply a roof coating after drying. We work exclusively with Nowocoat and always in two full coats. Not every roof is suitable for this; we are honest about that.

Why your roof is in good hands with us
Complete roof treatment
Cleaning, moss removal, coating, and gutter cleaning—we do it all in one visit. No separate appointments and no extra call-out charges. Combine it with facade cleaning and you tackle all your exterior maintenance at once.
Clear agreements, every time
We will tell you in advance what we are going to do, how long it will take, and if there are any special circumstances. Do we find broken pans? Then you will be informed immediately. No surprises on the invoice.
We only coat with Nowocoat
There is a significant difference in quality in the roof coating market. Cheap coatings often yellow or peel after just a few years. That is why we work with Nowocoat: a high-quality European coating that we fully endorse. Is coating not the best solution? Then we recommend honest renovation. You don't have to go up on the roof yourself; we take care of that.
Seasonal advice
Not every time is suitable for roof cleaning. We prefer to schedule in the spring or early autumn, when the temperature is suitable for coating. Are you making an appointment in January? Then we will reserve a spot for you so that it is your turn in the spring.

Frequently asked questions about roof cleaning in Assen
Yes. In addition to tiled roofs for private individuals, we provide roof cleaning for flat roofs at businesses and Owners' Associations. For bitumen or EPDM roofs, we use a different approach than for ceramic or concrete roof tiles. We always assess the condition of the roofing beforehand. More about our business approach on the business page.
Certainly. On the north and east sides, and on areas shaded by trees, moss grows back faster. We mention this during the inspection and advise whether an extra coating layer or a shorter maintenance cycle would be beneficial. Honest advice, not a sales pitch.
We do that often. For combined orders, we schedule both services on the same working days, which saves on travel costs and turnaround time. Many customers in Assen choose to have facade cleaning and roof cleaning carried out together. See also facade cleaning Assen.
Spring and early autumn are ideal. The temperature must be above five degrees for applying the coating.
Roofing work is not safe in freezing weather, for your roof and for our safety.
We strongly advise against this. Not because of the technology, but because of the risk of falling. Working on a wet, sloping roof is dangerous without professional fall protection. Leave this to professionals.
