Moss Removal & Cleaning In Harwich
Moss on a Harwich roof is more than an eyesore. It holds moisture against the tiles, lifts their edges and washes down into the gutters, which then overflow onto paths and walls. On older clay tile and slate roofs in the Old Town, the wrong cleaning method can do more harm than the moss itself.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Hand moss removal
Moss scraped off by hand without eroding the tile surface.
Biocide treatment
A deep-acting biocide kills spores and slows regrowth.
Gutter clear-out
Gutters and downpipes cleared of moss and debris.
Cleaning Harwich roofs without damage
Moss tends to build up on north-facing slopes and in sheltered corners, behind chimneys and along the low edges of a roof where water lingers. We take it off by hand with scrapers and soft brushes, working down the roof so we never force water up under the tiles. Pressure washing is out: it strips the surface from old clay tiles and concrete alike and can drive water inside. Once the roof is clear we clean the gutters, then apply a biocide that kills any remaining spores and slows regrowth.

Cleaning is a good moment to look at ridges, verges and chimney lead, which take a beating on the peninsula. Any loose or cracked tiles we spot are photographed and noted. On a listed Old Town roof we work especially gently around fragile slates.
