Professional Roof Moss Removal and Cleaning in Loughton

Our approach to roof cleaning in Loughton is built around safety, thoroughness, and protecting your property. Unlike some companies, we never use high-pressure jet washing on roofs, as it strips the protective granular surface from tiles and forces water under the roof space.Step 1: Thorough Manual ScrapingOur fully insured, directly employed roofing specialists safely access your roof using appropriate scaffolding or access equipment. We manually scrape away thick moss and debris using custom-profiled tools designed specifically for your tile shape (such as Marley, Redland, or traditional slate).Step 2: Gentle Soft WashingOnce the heavy moss is cleared, we apply a gentle soft wash to remove lingering dirt and prepare the surface for treatment. This restores the natural colour of your tiles without causing surface degradation.Step 3: Professional Biocide TreatmentWe finish the process by applying an industry-approved biocide treatment. This targeted chemical application penetrates the porous surface of the tiles, killing off microscopic lichen and algae spores. Over the following weeks, the weather naturally rinses the dead spores away, leaving you with a pristine roof that resists regrowth for years.

Why do you avoid jet washing roofs?High-pressure washing is highly destructive to roofing materials. It blasts away the protective sandy coating on concrete tiles, accelerates wear and tear, and forces water underneath the tiles, which can flood your loft space and damage your underlay. Soft washing is far safer and much more effective in the long run.How long does the biocide treatment take to work?While the heavy moss is removed instantly during our manual scraping phase, the biocide treatment works over time. You will notice the roof continuing to lighten and clean itself over a period of 6 to 12 weeks as the weather naturally washes away the dead organic matter.Are you insured to work on my property?Yes. As a reputable, registered UK roofing company, we hold comprehensive public liability insurance, ensuring you and your property are fully protected throughout the duration of the clean.
