Flashing Cleaning
Cleaning the exposed metal joins on a roof, without touching the sealing.
What it is
Flashing is the metal detail that seals the joins on a roof — around chimneys, valleys and where a roof meets a wall. Dirt, moss and debris collect along those edges. This service cleans the accessible parts and the area around them. It is not roofing work and does not repair or reseal anything.
What is usually included
Scope is agreed between you and the cleaner, so treat this as the shape of the job rather than a contract. Anything you need that is not here belongs in your request notes.
- Cleaning of accessible exposed flashing
- Removing loose dirt, moss and debris from the joins
- Attention to visible build-up along edges
- Cleaning the surrounding accessible surfaces

- A look over the areas that were cleaned

What happens after you send the request
You describe the job
Your ZIP code, the property details, the day you want and anything specific. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
It reaches cleaners near you
Only professionals whose service area covers your ZIP, who offer this type of cleaning, and whose ID has been approved by our team.
One of them replies
The first available cleaner takes the request and a conversation opens, where you can ask about scope, timing and price.
You accept or decline
Look at their profile and rating, then decide. If you decline, the request goes back out to another cleaner automatically.
You pay the cleaner directly
Requesting costs you nothing. The price is what you and the cleaner agree, and it is paid to them, not to Verliks.
Worth having ready
Describe where the flashing is and how it can be reached: chimney, valley, or where a roof meets a wall, and at what height. If you have noticed a leak or lifted metal, say so — that points to a roofer rather than to cleaning, and it is better to find out before booking.
Questions about flashing cleaning
Will this stop a leak?
No, and it should not be treated as a fix. Cleaning removes dirt and debris. A leak means the flashing or its sealing needs a roofer, and cleaning it may make the problem easier to see but will not solve it.
Is sealing or resealing included?
No. This is cleaning of accessible areas only — no repair, no sealant, no replacement.
How much does this cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on the property, its condition, the scope, your location and the professional. The cleaner who takes your request discusses it with you in the conversation, before anything is booked.
Can I ask for a specific cleaner?
Yes. You can send a request straight to a professional whose profile you have seen, and it goes to them rather than into the general matching. If they are not available, the request falls back to cleaners near you.
Does every cleaner offer this service?
No. Each professional lists the types of cleaning they take on, and requests are only matched to cleaners who offer this one and who cover your area.
Can I add extra work to the request?
Describe it in the notes when you send the request. The cleaner confirms in the conversation what they include and whether the extra work is something they can do.
