Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Woodham
Shaded by pines and oaks, many Woodham roofs carry thick moss and lichen. We scrape, wash or steam them using the right method for your clay or concrete tiles, then empty the gutters of everything that comes down.
A roof covered in moss looks older than it is and, given time, starts to suffer. Moss soaks up rain and keeps the tiles wet, roots work their way into the gaps between them, and in frosty weather that trapped water expands. Large clumps eventually slide off into the gutters and block them. Our roof cleaning in Woodham removes that growth carefully and leaves the tiles clean, with the method decided by the roof rather than by habit.
Moss removal starts with hand tools: tile scrapers made to measure for the profile of your roof so they lift moss without chipping edges or disturbing the laps. Once the bulk has gone, the surface is cleaned with either a gentle low-pressure wash or roof steam, depending on the tile and how much algae and lichen remain. Steam is especially useful on older clay tiles that need a gentle touch. If you want the finish to last, we can follow up with a biocide that holds back fresh moss, algae and lichen for longer. Before we leave, every gutter is cleared of moss and debris and the downpipes are checked.
Few places in this corner of Surrey are as shaded as Woodham. Tall Scots pines, oaks and birches surround a great many homes, and some properties sit almost entirely within tree cover. Roof slopes beneath that canopy rarely get direct sun for long, so they stay damp after rain and through the colder months. Fallen needles also lodge in the gaps between tiles, holding moisture and giving moss a ready-made foothold. The result is the thick, cushion-like growth seen on many local roofs.
The roofs themselves are often large and steeply pitched, a hallmark of the interwar detached houses that make up much of the area. Many have handmade or machine-made clay plain tiles, which are attractive but relatively soft and easily damaged by heavy-handed cleaning. Others were re-roofed with concrete tiles, which are tougher but have a rougher surface that moss clings to. Lichen is common on both and needs a patient approach to shift.
Dormers, valleys and catslide roofs add to the work, as moss gathers where slopes meet and where water runs slowest. Our roof cleaning covers all of Woodham, both the KT15 side and the adjoining part of GU21, and we also work in the surrounding villages. For houses under trees, pairing moss removal with a gutter clear on the same day gives the best result.
Our approach balances a thorough clean with protecting tiles that may be nearly a century old.
We identify whether the roof is clay or concrete, look at the depth of moss and lichen, note any slipped or cracked tiles and agree the best cleaning method with you.
Using scrapers made to match your tile profile, we work down each slope removing moss cushions and clearing growth from valleys, around dormers and along the ridge line.
The remaining algae, lichen and grime are cleaned off with roof steam or a low-pressure wash, chosen so older clay tiles are treated gently and nothing is forced under the laps.
If requested, biocide goes on to hold back regrowth, the gutters and downpipes are cleared of fallen moss, and drives, gravel and borders are left neat before we go.

Not every roof should be cleaned the same way. Here is how we match the technique to what is on your Woodham home:
We will explain our recommendation before starting, so you know exactly what is being done to your roof and why.
Roof cleaning prices vary widely because roofs do, and larger Woodham houses can have several slopes and outbuildings. We consider:
Clear pictures of each slope, taken from the garden or the road, let us return a fixed quote quickly, frequently within the day.
Yes, when the right method is used. Older clay tiles are softer than concrete, so we avoid high pressure completely. Moss is removed by hand with scrapers shaped to the tile, and the surface is cleaned with steam, which lifts algae and lichen gently without eroding the clay.
Regrowth is faster under heavy tree cover, but it is not immediate. A biocide applied straight after cleaning makes a noticeable difference to how quickly growth reappears. Keeping gutters clear and, where possible, trimming back overhanging branches also helps the roof dry out between showers.
Yes. Garages, coach houses and garden buildings on larger Woodham plots often carry just as much moss as the main house. Add a picture or two of each outbuilding when you get in touch and the quote will cover the whole property, so everything is cleaned and the gutters cleared in one visit.
We take great care to avoid it. Where we need to be on the roof we spread our weight and step on the strongest part of the tiles. Any tiles that were already cracked or slipped are photographed and pointed out to you.
Steam uses heat rather than force to loosen algae, lichen and dirt. That makes it ideal for older or more delicate tiles, where high pressure could wear away the surface or drive water under the laps. Low-pressure washing still suits many sound concrete roofs.
Always. Moss removal sends a lot of debris downwards, and in Woodham that usually joins a layer of pine needles already sitting in the gutters. Every run is emptied by vacuum and each downpipe is tested, leaving roof and drainage in good order together.
