The PureGem Standard
With over 20 years of experience, PureGem understands that different exterior surfaces require different cleaning techniques.
From delicate rendered walls to roof tiles and commercial cladding, we assess each surface and select an appropriate method to remove dirt, algae, moss and staining without relying on unnecessarily aggressive pressure.

Great experience with PureGem who cleaned our roof today. A family company who did a fantastic job. Luke and his sons were friendly and polite (even helped me lift a heavy parcel into the house which arrived whilst they were here!). Luke turned up when he said he would for both the quote and the work. Our 35 year old roof looks nearly as good as new. We’d recommend to friends & family.Posted on Google![]()

Luke and his team did a great job cleaning our roof and gutters on our house. They completed the job quickly and professionally while having to work in terrible weather without complaint. We will definitely use them again. Highly recommended!Posted on Google![]()

Great service from PureGem, Freezing weather and still came to clean our roof. After cleaning the house looks so different. Honestly thought our house had grey slates, nope after cleaning they are terracotta which has totally changed the look of the house. Can’t recommend them enough. Professional and Friendly.Posted on Google![]()

Luke and his team transformed a large, neglected, moss covered roof to one which looked like we'd had the whole roof replaced. Excellent job, completed to the highest standard, would recommend to anyone.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
