Moss Removal & Cleaning In Holland-on-Sea

Moss isn't the biggest threat to Holland-on-Sea roofs, as the wind tends to keep exposed slopes cleaner than inland. But on north-facing slopes, sheltered bungalow roofs and behind dormers, it still builds up. Left alone, it holds moisture against concrete tiles and sheds clumps into gutters, which then overflow onto fascias and walls.

Local Knowledge

Where moss gathers on Holland-on-Sea roofs

The low pitch on many bungalows and chalet bungalows here means rainwater runs off slowly, giving moss time to settle in the grooves of concrete tiles. Shaded slopes and the area behind dormers stay damp longest. We remove moss by hand with scrapers and brushes, working down the roof so we don't lift or crack tiles. We avoid pressure washing, which can force water under tiles and strip the surface of concrete tiles. Once the roof is clear, we apply a biocide treatment to kill remaining spores and slow regrowth, then clean out the gutters and downpipes so the debris doesn't block them.

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

Checking the roof while we're up there

Moss can hide problems, so we look over ridges, verges and fixings while we clean, which is useful on a coastal roof where mortar and metal wear faster. If we spot something, we'll photograph it and include it on your free written quote, but you're never obliged to have extra work done.
