Moss Removal & Cleaning In Tiptree

Trees on Tiptree Heath and in gardens around the town drop leaves and spores across nearby roofs, and concrete tiles give moss an easy surface to grip. Left alone, a thick layer holds rainwater against the roof, sheds clumps into the gutters and can lift tiles when it freezes.

Local Knowledge

Moss on Tiptree roofs

Moss is most common on the north-facing slopes of concrete tile roofs, and Tiptree has a great many of those on its post-war houses and bungalows. Homes backing onto the heath or with big trees nearby tend to suffer most, and the gutters are often choked by the time we arrive. We remove the moss by hand, using scrapers and brushes, working with the tiles rather than against them. Pressure washing is not something we do, as it can strip the surface of the tile and drive water under the laps. Once the roof is clear, a biocide treatment slows regrowth, and we finish by clearing the gutters and downpipes.

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

Looking after the roof afterwards

Cleaning is a good chance to spot cracked tiles or loose ridges before they cause leaks, so we check as we work and tell you what we find. On older clay tile cottages we take extra care, as those tiles can be brittle. You get a free written quote before any work begins.
