Moss Removal & Cleaning In Dovercourt

Moss thrives on Dovercourt roofs that stay damp, especially on shaded slopes of the inland bungalows. It traps water, lifts tiles and blocks gutters. Removing it carefully, and slowing its return, protects the roof as well as smartening it up. It also makes any hidden damage much easier to spot.

Local Knowledge

How we clean roofs in Dovercourt

Bungalow roofs with concrete tiles are where we see the heaviest growth, often thick enough to bridge the gaps between tiles. Older villas near the seafront collect it in the valleys and behind chimneys. We scrape and brush it off by hand, working with the lap of the tiles so water is never driven upwards. No pressure washer touches the roof, since that erodes tile surfaces and can flood the loft. We clear the moss out of the gutters, then spray a biocide to kill what remains and keep regrowth down.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Spotting faults during a clean

With the moss gone, cracked tiles and loose ridges become easy to see. We note anything that needs attention and show you photos, so there are no surprises. Each clean comes with a free written quote beforehand. Many owners pair a clean with a gutter check, since the two problems usually go hand in hand on these roofs.
