"This would be expensive as you would need a scaffold as it would be to dangerous to get a jet wash up there. . Even then I wouldn’t recommend it. Have a word with a cleaning service and they will advise you if it can be done"

"Factors That Affect Cost:

1. Roof Size: Larger roofs will require more time and effort to clean, increasing the price.


2. Roof Type: Different roofing materials (shingles, tiles, metal, etc.) may require different pressure washing techniques or equipment, which could affect the cost.


3. Roof Condition: If your roof has extensive staining, moss, or algae buildup, additional treatments or cleaning solutions may be required, which could increase the overall cost.


4. Location: Prices can also vary based on your location due to labor rates and local market conditions."
