Expert Moss Removal and Roof Cleaning in Warlingham

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we prioritise the structural integrity of your property. We never use high-pressure jet washing for roof cleaning, as this aggressive method can strip the protective granular surface of your tiles and force water underneath the laps. Instead, we use a meticulous, manual approach.1. Comprehensive Roof InspectionBefore any cleaning begins, we conduct a thorough visual assessment, often utilising our drone roof surveys to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas. This helps us identify any hidden damage, such as a slipped slate or failing leadwork, before we step foot on the roof.2. Manual Roof ScrapingOur expert operatives carefully access your roof and use specialist, profiled scraping tools that perfectly match the shape of your tiles. This manual roof scraping removes the bulk of the moss safely and effectively without damaging the tile surface or the underlying breathable membranes.3. Biocidal Wash and Algae TreatmentOnce the roof is physically cleared, we apply a high-grade biocidal wash. This targeted algae treatment works over time, killing off remaining microscopic lichen and moss spores. It continues to clean and protect your roof for months after application, preventing rapid regrowth.4. Gutter Cleaning and Site ClearanceFinally, we clear all dislodged moss from your gutters and completely tidy the surrounding ground area. You are left with a clean property exterior, a protected roof, and free-flowing gutters.

Is high-pressure washing safe for my roof?No, we strongly advise against it. Jet washing can force water under the tiles, soak your roof felt, and strip away the protective surface of the tiles. We exclusively use manual roof scraping and soft biocidal treatments for superior, safe results.How long does the biocidal treatment take to work?The biocidal wash begins working immediately to kill off active spores. However, the self-cleansing action takes place over several weeks and months. As it rains, the dead lichen and algae will naturally wash away, continually brightening and cleaning your roof.Will you fix broken tiles while cleaning the roof?Yes. Because we are fully qualified roofers with over 25 years of experience, we can carry out any necessary repairs while on site. If our inspection uncovers that a broken tile replacement or ridge tile re-bedding is required, we will provide a transparent quote and handle the repairs safely.
