How Our Banstead Roof Cleaning Process Works

We believe in doing things properly. Unlike some contractors who rely on aggressive jet washing—which can strip the protective granular surface off concrete tiles and force water under your felt—we use a careful, phased approach to clean your roof safely.Step 1: Thorough Roof Assessment: Before we begin, our team carries out a full inspection of your roof to identify any loose tiles, damaged pointing, or underlying issues.Step 2: Manual Moss Scraping: We carefully use specialist profiling tools tailored to the exact shape of your clay or concrete tiles. This allows us to manually scrape away the bulk of the moss without applying dangerous pressure to the roof surface.Step 3: Professional Grade Biocide Treatment: Once the heavy moss is removed, we apply a high-quality biocide treatment. This targeted chemical wash safely kills any remaining organic growth, algae, and microscopic spores, preventing rapid regrowth and keeping your roof cleaner for years to come.Step 4: Gutter Clearing: Moss removal can be messy work. As part of our service, we completely clear out your gutters and downpipes, ensuring your entire roofline drainage system is flowing freely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Cleaning

Is power washing safe for my roof?We strongly advise against high-pressure washing. It can strip the protective layer from your tiles, shorten their lifespan, and force water underneath your roofing felt. Our manual scraping and biocide treatment method is much safer and highly recommended by professional roofers and manufacturers alike.How long does the biocide treatment take to work?While the manual removal yields instant visual results, the biocide gets to work immediately on microscopic spores. Over the following days and weeks, natural weathering will safely wash away the dead algae and lichen, leaving your roof looking progressively cleaner.Will moss cause my roof to leak?Yes, if left untreated. Moss absorbs water, which adds significant weight to your roof structure. In freezing temperatures, this water expands, causing tiles to crack or shift, ultimately leading to water ingress and internal leaks.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Moss Removal

Answers to common questions regarding our professional moss removal, biocide treatments, and roof cleaning services provided by Kevington Roofing and Building LTD across Swanley, Sevenoaks, Kent, and Croydon & South London.

Will moss removal damage my roof tiles?

+

When done correctly, no. We avoid high-pressure jet washing which can be too aggressive. By using manual scraping and a soft-wash biocide treatment, we protect the integrity of your tiles while still getting rid of the moss and algae.

How long does it take for a roof to look clean after a biocide treatment?

+

The manual scrape gives you an immediate improvement. The biocide treatment is a "slow-acting" cleaner. It starts working right away to kill spores, and over the next few months, the weather helps wash away the remaining lichen and stains, leaving the tiles looking cleaner and brighter over time.

How often should I have my roof cleaned in Swanley?

+

It depends on your surroundings. If your house is shaded by large trees or is in a particularly damp area of Kent, you might need a check-up every few years. Generally, a professional biocide treatment can keep moss at bay for several years. Regular gutter cleaning also helps keep the roof environment dry.
