Black Bear Exterior Cleaning in short

Black Bear Exterior Cleaning is a family-run exterior cleaner in Broseley, lifting roof moss by hand and finishing with professional biocide treatment rather than aggressive pressure washing. Driveways, render and gutters sit on the same van, and quotes are free with working hours stated as sunrise to sunset. BLACK BEAR EXTERIOR CLEANING LTD is an active company behind the name. Moss, algae and lichen are the stated targets, with the biocide chosen to protect tiles while clearing growth.

Customer reviews are spotless, with five stars from 34 Google reviews, and the site states a fully insured limited company. Our judgement is that Black Bear suits careful moss removal where tile protection matters most. The company record is young, dating from 2024, which counts against it for now, and no prices or trade accreditations are published. Free quotes keep the first step simple.
