Moss Removal & Cleaning In Northstowe

Northstowe's young roofs rarely need more than a light clean. The older homes in Longstanton, Oakington, Willingham and Over are another matter. Concrete tiles on post-war houses collect moss quickly on shaded slopes, and thick growth soaks up rain, lifts tiles at the laps and washes into gutters.

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Roof cleaning around Northstowe

Most of our moss work in CB24 is on post-war houses and bungalows with concrete interlocking tiles, particularly north-facing slopes and roofs shaded by trees. We take the moss off by hand with scrapers and soft brushes, working downwards so nothing is pushed under the tiles. We avoid pressure washing because it erodes the tile surface and can force water into the loft. Afterwards we apply a biocide to slow regrowth and clear the debris from gutters and downpipes, so the moss doesn't simply end up blocking the drainage instead.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01223 398097 or book online.

Worth knowing before a clean

On a new Northstowe home, a little green on the north side is normal and harmless, so we'll tell you honestly if cleaning isn't needed. On older slate or clay roofs we work gently, as these can crack under weight. If we spot loose ridges or slipped tiles, we'll show you. Quotes are free and written.

Probably not yet. A little moss on a north-facing slope is harmless on a new roof. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a clean. Older village roofs are a different story.
Pressure washing strips the surface from concrete tiles and can drive water under the laps. Hand removal with a biocide treatment is gentler. Call 01223 398097 for a free quote.
