Roof Moss Removal & Gutter Cleaning

It might look harmless, but moss on your roof is more than just an unsightly green patch. Over time, it holds onto rainwater, making your tiles heavier and constantly damp. This extra moisture can slowly erode your roof tiles, especially in winter when it freezes and expands, causing cracks. Bits of moss also break off and slide into your gutters, leading to blockages. When gutters are blocked, water can't drain away properly and ends up overflowing, potentially damaging your walls, fascia boards, and even your home's foundations. Getting rid of it helps keep your property protected and looking its best.

Our team takes a careful, professional approach to moss removal. We usually start by manually scraping off the bulk of the moss using specialist tools designed not to harm your roof tiles. We work from secure ladders or scaffolding, making sure every step is safe and thorough. After removing the main build-up, we apply a high-quality, eco-friendly treatment that kills any remaining moss spores. This treatment helps prevent regrowth for a good while. We also make sure to clean out your gutters afterwards – it's all part of the service, leaving your roof and entire property clean and clear.

This is a really common and fair question! The answer is no, not when it's done right by experienced professionals. We never use high-pressure jet washing on your roof, as that can force water under tiles, strip away protective coatings, and cause serious damage. Instead, our team uses gentle, manual methods for moss removal, combined with targeted treatments. Our goal is always to protect your existing roof structure while making it spotless. We treat your roof with the same care we would our own.

There isn't a strict rule for how often your roof needs cleaning, as it really depends on your property's location and the surrounding area. If you're under lots of trees or in a damp spot, moss might come back quicker. Generally, we recommend a regular check-up every few years. Keeping on top of it with routine maintenance helps prevent significant build-up, stops minor issues turning into big problems, and keeps your roof performing at its best for longer. Think of it like a regular service for your car – a little care often saves a lot of hassle later.

When we clean your roof, we always make sure to look after your entire roofline. Moss and dirt often end up in your gutters during the cleaning process, so clearing those out is an essential part of the job. Our team ensures your gutters are free of blockages and draining correctly. We also pay attention to your fascia and soffit boards, making sure they're not neglected. It's about providing a complete service that enhances the look and protection of your whole property, not just the roof itself.
