Roof Moss Removal to Stop Lifted Tiles and Blocked Gutters

Moss holds water against the tiles like a sponge. That keeps the roof damp, encourages frost damage and can lift tiles so rain is driven underneath. When it washes off, it ends up in the gutters and downpipes. They then block and overflow down the walls.

We clear the moss from the tiles, ridge and valleys. Then we empty the gutters and downpipes so the debris does not cause the next problem. Older and softer tiles, and natural slate, need gentler handling than modern concrete tiles. We are period building specialists, so Walter will explain the method he recommends for your roof before starting.

Because we are on the roof anyway, we check for slipped or cracked tiles, loose ridge tiles and worn flashing. We tell you what we find. Any repairs can be priced and done on the same visit if you want.

The cost depends on the size of the roof, how thick the moss is and the type of tile or slate. Access matters too, including whether scaffolding or a roof ladder is needed.

We remove roof moss for homes across Guildford, Woking, Leatherhead and Dorking. For a quote, send a few photos of the roof from the ground showing how much is covered. Include the address and whether the gutters are overflowing. Clearing the moss before the winter frosts helps stop it lifting tiles and letting rain in.
