Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Old Woking
Clay peg tiles on a High Street cottage or concrete interlocks on a Westfield semi: whatever covers your Old Woking roof, we strip away moss and lichen with a method that suits it, then empty the gutters of everything that falls.
On a still, foggy morning by the Wey, you can see why Old Woking roofs turn green. Damp air lingers over the meadows, big trees throw shade across rear slopes and, season after season, moss creeps along the tile courses until whole sections are covered. It looks untidy, but the bigger worry is what it does: moss traps moisture, lifts tile edges and sheds clumps into gutters and downpipes. Our roof cleaning in Old Woking clears it carefully, without putting the roof at risk.
The core of every job is manual moss removal with bespoke scrapers cut to fit the tile shapes found on local roofs, so they reach between courses without levering tiles apart. After scraping, we finish according to the tile: a low-pressure wash for sturdy concrete tiles, or roof steam cleaning for clay, slate and older surfaces that need a softer touch. Should you want it, a biocidal coating then goes on to keep moss, algae and lichen from regrouping quickly. Finally, the gutters and outlets are cleared, as a newly cleaned roof always sends debris their way.
Old Woking lies low beside the River Wey and the Hoe Stream, surrounded by water meadows such as Broadmead that hold moisture for much of the year. That humidity, combined with mature trees in many gardens and along the riverbanks, keeps roofs damp long after rain has passed. North-facing slopes and those shaded by willows, oaks or sycamores are the first to green over, and the growth spreads steadily if left alone.
The village’s roofs are as varied as its history. Around the High Street and St Peter’s Church, older buildings carry clay plain tiles, handmade-style peg tiles or slate, all of which need careful handling. Our scraping-and-steam approach removes moss and lichen from these surfaces without the force of a pressure washer. Interwar and post-war homes in Kingfield and Westfield more often have concrete interlocking tiles, whose rougher surface gives moss an easy grip but which tolerate a low-pressure wash well.
Bungalows and chalet-style homes, of which Old Woking has a fair number, have wide, low roofs that can be covered quite quickly, while extensions and porches add smaller slopes where moss collects at the junctions. Whatever the roof, a clean takes pressure off the gutters and lifts the appearance of the property. Our roof cleaning covers GU22, including the old village, Kingfield, Westfield and Hoe Bridge, and in nearby Send, Mayford and Sutton Green.
The steps stay the same; the tools and pressure change with your tiles.
Pictures you send, followed by a close look when we turn up, tell us whether we are on clay, slate or concrete, how deep the moss runs and if any tiles have cracked or slid out of line.
Bespoke scrapers glide down one slope at a time, peeling cushions of moss off the tiles and teasing it from the overlaps, never prising a tile upward.
Fragile clay and slate are finished with steam, sturdy concrete with a low-pressure rinse, so the remaining lichen and green staining go and the colour evens out.
Biocide is sprayed if you have asked for it. Fallen moss is fished out of gutters and pipes, and the patio, paths and borders are swept clear.

Because moss creeps on so gradually, plenty of people only act once it is obvious from the road. Watch out for:
Tackling growth while it is still thin means a quicker job and far less stress on old tiles.
There is no off-the-peg price, since a tiny bungalow roof and a steep Victorian one are worlds apart. We weigh up:
Snap every slope from the garden or pavement; those pictures normally give us all we need to fix a price.
Yes. Clay and peg tiles are cleaned by careful hand scraping followed by steam rather than pressure washing, which protects the surface and avoids disturbing older fixings. If we notice slipped, cracked or missing tiles, we will photograph them and let you know.
Properties close to the river, its side channel and the flat meadows towards Send sit in damper air that lingers after rain, and many are shaded by riverside trees. Those conditions keep roofs wet for longer, which is exactly what moss and algae need to spread.
Steam delivers heat rather than force. Hot water vapour at gentle pressure loosens the grip of moss, algae and lichen, so clay tiles, slate and fragile older coverings come clean without the battering a strong jet would give them.
Sunny, open slopes stay clear far longer than those under willows or facing the river. The biocide finish holds regrowth back noticeably, but a shaded north slope near the Wey will always be first to show new growth.
Only until we have finished. Scraping inevitably drops material into the troughs, so we always empty the runs and test the pipes as part of the price, otherwise the first proper storm would block the outlets.
Yes. Bungalow roofs are usually easy to access, and their wide, low slopes are well suited to our scraping and washing methods. We take care around roof windows, vents and flashing as we work.
