About This Service
Why Surrey Roofs Grow Moss
Moss loves a shaded, damp, north-facing roof under tree cover, and porous concrete tiles give it plenty to grip. In one of England's most wooded counties, that describes a lot of Surrey roofs. Left alone, moss blocks gutters, holds water against the tiles, and lifts them as it freezes and thaws.
We remove it the careful way: manual scraping and brushing, then a biocidal treatment to slow regrowth. What we avoid is aggressive pressure-washing, which the industry itself warns can crack and dislodge tiles, especially with heavy foot traffic on the roof.
What It Involves
How We Remove Roof Moss
Tile-safe removal that deals with the moss and the mess it leaves in your gutters.
Manual RemovalMoss scraped and brushed off by hand, the tile-safe method, rather than blasted with a high-pressure jet.
Biocide TreatmentA biocidal wash after scraping to slow regrowth, because removal alone doesn't stop it coming back.
Gutter ClearingThe dislodged moss cleared from gutters and downpipes, where it would otherwise cause a blockage.
Roof InspectionWhile we're up there we check for the tiles moss has already lifted or damaged, and flag repairs.
PreventionWhere it helps, zinc or copper strips to slow regrowth on shaded, north-facing slopes.
Debris ProtectionSheets down to catch the fall, and drains and planting protected from the run-off.
Good To Know
Careful Removal, Not A Power Blast
The trade body for roofing warns that violent power-washing, especially with unnecessary foot traffic on the roof, can crack or break tiles. That's why we remove moss by hand and treat it with a biocide, rather than blasting it and hoping the tiles survive.
Moss also tells a story. If it's growing thickly, the roof is staying damp, so while we're up there we check for tiles it has already lifted or cracked, and for blocked gutters. Removing the moss and ignoring the cause just means doing it again next year.

Moss Removal Questions, Answered
Not the way we do it. Manual removal is tile-safe. It's aggressive pressure-washing that risks cracking and dislodging tiles, which the roofing trade body itself warns against, so we scrape and brush by hand and treat with a biocide instead.
It can, especially on shaded, north-facing roofs under trees, which is much of Surrey. A biocide after removal slows regrowth, and zinc or copper strips help on the worst slopes, but no treatment makes a roof permanently moss-free.
Moss thrives where a roof stays shaded and damp, under tree cover, on north-facing slopes and on porous concrete tiles. In heavily wooded Surrey that's common, which is why we see so much of it.
It can be. Moss blocks gutters and outlets, holds moisture against the tiles, and can lift tiles as it freezes and thaws. Where it's just light surface growth on a sound roof it's less urgent, and we'll tell you honestly which it is.
Yes. Thick moss keeps a roof damp, so we check for tiles it has already lifted or cracked and for blocked gutters, and flag any repairs rather than just clearing the green and leaving.
