They look harmless, but moss acts like a sponge, holding water against tiles, lifting them at the edges, and washing into gutters and downpipes where it causes blockages. Our roof cleaning service removes moss and built-up debris from tiles and slates, clears gutters and outlets, and leaves the site clean. Because roofers are doing the work, we also spot and report any slipped tiles, damaged ridges or flashing problems with photos, so a small issue doesn't become a leak. Roof cleaning is often combined with gutter work or done alongside other roofing jobs to make the most of access. ### Who this is for - Roofs with thick moss on tiles or ridges - Gutters that keep blocking and overflowing - Homeowners preparing to sell or let a property - Anyone wanting a roof health-check alongside a clean Warning signs ## What moss does to a roof Left alone, moss shortens the life of a roof covering and causes problems far beyond the tiles. ### Frost damage Water trapped by moss freezes and expands, cracking and flaking tiles over winter. ### Lifted tiles Moss growing under tile edges lifts them, letting wind-driven rain underneath. ### Blocked gutters Moss washes into gutters and downpipes, causing overflows that soak walls. ### Hidden defects A heavy moss layer hides slipped tiles and cracks until they leak. ### Common mistakes homeowners make - Using a high-pressure jet that damages tile surfaces - Cleaning the roof but leaving the gutters full of moss - Walking on tiles without proper access, cracking them - Ignoring defects revealed once the moss is gone Our Process ## Five clear steps, one fixed price. - STEP 1 ### Free survey & inspection We come out, inspect the roof properly and take before-photos and video so you can see exactly what we see. There is no call-out fee. - STEP 2 ### Diagnosis & fixed written quote We explain the cause in plain English, recommend what actually needs doing, and put a fixed price in writing. That price will not change for the agreed schedule of work. - STEP 3 ### Scaffold & work carried out Scaffolding goes up before any work begins. Jake's permanent four-man team, with experienced site specialists where needed, carry out the work and send progress videos throughout. - STEP 4 ### Checks & clean-up Every detail is checked before we come down. The site is cleared and tidied, including any debris on your neighbours' side, and the scaffold is dismantled straight after completion. - STEP 5 ### Completion, guarantee & payment You receive a written guarantee certificate for the work. Only then, on the day the job is complete, is payment due. Nothing is taken upfront.

More detail ## Roof cleaning in detail ### Moss removal We remove moss and debris from tiles, slates and ridges with care to avoid damaging the roof surface. Moss is cleared from between tiles and along the eaves where it gathers most. ### Gutter clearing Moss coming off the roof ends up in your gutters. We clear gutters, outlets and downpipes as part of the clean so the job is complete. ### Inspection while we're up there Once moss is cleared, we check for problems it may have been hiding and send you photos: - Slipped or cracked tiles - Loose ridge and hip tiles - Lifted or split flashings - Rot in fascias and soffits ### Flat roofs and extensions We also clear moss and debris from flat roofs, as with one customer whose 22-year-old extension roof was replaced and the surrounding roofs and gutters cleared in a single day. ### How our terms protect you Most roofing complaints come down to three things: prices that rise once work starts, deposits paid for work that never gets finished, and not knowing what was actually done. Our terms are built to remove all three. Fixed written price. After your free survey you receive a written quote for the agreed schedule of work. That figure will not change. If we find something unexpected once work is underway, we show you photo or video evidence and you choose whether to add it as an optional extra. Nothing is added without your say-so. 0% deposit. We don't take money upfront. Full payment is due on the day the project is completed, so the risk sits with us, not you. Evidence at every stage. You get before-photos and videos ahead of any work, and progress videos throughout. You'll see what's under your tiles, what we've replaced and how it was finished, even if you're at work all day. Written guarantee. Every job ends with a written guarantee certificate, and new pitched roofs and EPDM flat roofs carry a 25-year warranty. We're also covered by £1,000,000 public liability insurance. Scaffold only as long as needed. Where scaffolding is required, it goes up before work begins and comes down straight after completion, so it isn't left standing outside your home for weeks. ### Areas we cover for roof cleaning We carry out roof cleaning across Essex, Chingford, Chelmsford, Romford, Springfield, Brentwood, Hornchurch, Woodford, Great Baddow and North & West London.
