Roof Cleaning with Drone
Stockholm Drone Teknik AB offers roof cleaning with drone for villas, housing associations, properties and companies. With modern drone technology, we can clean roofs safely and efficiently without personnel having to walk on the roof and without always needing scaffolding or a lift.
The method is especially suitable for roofs with moss, algae, lichen and dirt, where traditional cleaning can be time-consuming, risky or costly. By working from the ground with a drone, we can treat roof surfaces in a controlled way and reduce disruption for residents, businesses and the surrounding area.
We adapt the method based on the condition of the roof, the material and the needs of the assignment. In many cases, softwash is used, a gentler treatment where cleaning solution is applied to the roof and left to work over time. On some surfaces, another method or controlled pressure may be relevant, but the goal is always to clean effectively without damaging the roof.
Why Roof Cleaning Is Important
Moss, algae, lichen and dirt can cause the roof to retain moisture longer than necessary. Over time, this can affect the appearance of the roof, water drainage and the general condition of the roof surface. A dirty roof can also make a property look older and more worn than it actually is.
Regular roof cleaning helps keep the roof clean, improve the overall impression of the property and reduce the risk of minor issues developing into more expensive maintenance in the future.
For homeowners, housing associations and property owners, roof cleaning is a practical measure to preserve both the function and value of the property.
Roof Cleaning with Drone Without Walking on the Roof
Traditional roof cleaning often involves working at height, scaffolding, lifts or people walking directly on the roof. With drones, the work can be carried out remotely and with better control over safety.
For the client, this means:
→ no personnel walking on the roof
→ less need for scaffolding or lift
→ faster execution
→ less disruption for residents or ongoing operations
→ safer working method for high, steep or hard-to-access roofs
→ possibility of before and after documentation
The drone makes it possible to reach roof surfaces that may otherwise be difficult or expensive to access with traditional methods.
Softwash or High Pressure – Which Method Is Best?
It is important to distinguish between high-pressure washing and softwash, because the wrong method can risk damaging the roof material.
Our Method
We choose the method based on the roof’s conditions. For many roofs, softwash is the most careful option. When needed, we can combine cleaning, treatment and documentation to provide a clear view of the roof’s condition before and after the work.
How Much Does Roof Cleaning with Drone Cost?
The price depends on the size of the roof, slope, material, access, amount of moss, algae or dirt, and the treatment required. Therefore, the final price is provided after assessing the roof.
Price Examples
The prices are indicative. The final price is provided after checking the roof area, access, slope, material and scope of the treatment.
Price after ROT applies only when the work meets Skatteverket’s requirements. The final price and possible ROT eligibility are confirmed in the quote.
ROT Deduction for Roof Cleaning with drone
The ROT deduction may in some cases be used for cleaning roofs, roof tiles, gutters and solar panels. Skatteverket states that such work may qualify for ROT when the conditions are met, for example when the work is carried out in or close to a home owned by the buyer.
It is important to handle this correctly:
→ ROT normally applies only to labour costs
→ materials, travel and other costs are normally not included in the ROT basis
→ the rules may vary depending on whether the property is a detached house, housing association apartment, owner-occupied apartment or common parts of a property
→ for housing association apartments and owner-occupied apartments, there are clear limitations for work on common areas, such as external roofs and facades
That is why we always check the conditions before including ROT in the quote. If the work meets the requirements, the ROT deduction can be handled directly on the invoice according to Skatteverket’s rules.
How Roof Cleaning with Drone Works
1. Request
You send the address, images or information about the roof. If there is visible moss, algae or lichen, it is helpful to attach photos.
2. Assessment
We review the roof size, slope, material, access and condition. If needed, a simple roof assessment is carried out before the price is provided.
3. Price Proposal
You receive a clear price based on the roof’s conditions and the scope of the treatment. Any possible ROT deduction is only included if the work meets the conditions.
4. Execution
The roof cleaning is carried out with a drone from the ground. The method is adapted to the roof’s condition and the most suitable treatment.
5. Documentation
If requested, we deliver before and after images showing the roof’s condition and the completed work.
Which Roofs Are Suitable for Drone Cleaning?
Roof cleaning with drone is suitable for many types of properties, especially when traditional methods are complicated, costly or risky.
Common objects:
→ villas
→ terraced houses
→ housing associations
→ commercial properties
→ industrial buildings
→ agricultural or auxiliary buildings
→ garages and larger roof surfaces
The method is especially useful for high, steep or hard-to-access roofs where unnecessary work at height should be avoided.
Benefits for Homeowners, Housing Associations and Companies
Homeowners
A cleaner roof without anyone having to walk on the roof surface. Especially suitable when moss, algae or dirt affects both appearance and maintenance.
Housing Associations
Efficient treatment of larger roof surfaces with less disruption for residents. For housing associations, it is important to review responsibility, scope and possible ROT eligibility before the work is carried out.
Property Owners and Companies
A flexible method for larger buildings, commercial properties and industrial environments where scaffolding or lifts may be costly or impractical.
Prevent Problems with Moss and Growth
Moss and other growth can cause the roof to retain moisture and look worn. If the problem remains for a long time, it can become harder and more expensive to treat.
With regular roof cleaning, property owners can gain better control over the condition of the roof and plan maintenance before damage or larger problems arise.
For many clients, the goal is not only to get a clean roof, but also to create a better basis for future maintenance decisions.
