Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Bisley
Moss, lichen and algae cleared from Bisley roofs using hand scraping, gentle low-pressure washing or roof steam cleaning, depending on the tiles. An optional treatment slows regrowth, and the gutters are cleared afterwards.
A moss-covered roof spoils the look of any house, but the bigger concern is what moss does to the tiles. It holds water like a sponge, lifts tiles at the edges and sends clumps into the gutters, where it causes blockages. Our roof cleaning in Bisley starts with thorough moss removal, scraping it off by hand with specialist tile scrapers made to measure for your tile profile. This takes off the bulk of the growth without heavy force.
After scraping, we choose the cleaning method to suit your roof. Low-pressure washing removes algae and residue from sturdy concrete tiles without driving water underneath, while roof steam cleaning uses heat to clean more delicate tiles gently. We can then apply a biocide treatment to keep moss, algae and lichen from coming back so quickly, helping the roof stay cleaner for longer. As moss removal always drops debris into the gutters, they are emptied once the roof is done, so the drainage is left working properly. The finished roof looks fresher, and the tiles are no longer sitting under a damp blanket of growth.
Bisley sits among heath, pine woods and damp hollows, and its roofs feel the effects. Houses next to Bisley Common or beneath tall pines and birches spend long stretches of the day in shade, and their roofs dry out slowly after rain. Moss and algae need exactly that kind of persistent damp, so shaded slopes can go from a light green tinge to thick cushions of moss within a few years. Lichen often follows, forming crusty grey and yellow patches on the tile surface.
The roofs themselves vary. Bungalows and chalet-style homes, of which Bisley has many, have large, low roof slopes that are very visible from the road, so moss affects their kerb appeal more than most. Many mid-century and later homes have concrete interlocking tiles, which have a rougher surface that moss grips easily. Older cottages may have clay tiles that need a gentler approach, which is why we always match the method to the tile.
Left in place, moss keeps tiles wet through the winter, when repeated freezing and thawing can damage them, and it constantly feeds debris into the gutters. Removing it and treating the roof breaks that cycle. We provide roof cleaning and moss removal across the GU24 area, covering Bisley village, the homes along the Guildford Road and the neighbouring communities of Knaphill, Brookwood and Pirbright.
The right method for your tiles, carried out in four careful stages.
We look at the tile type, its condition and the extent of the moss and lichen, then explain which combination of scraping, washing or steam is best for your roof.
Using made-to-measure scrapers, we remove moss from the tile faces and the joints between them, working methodically down the roof to take off the bulk of the growth.
Low-pressure washing or steam cleaning removes the remaining algae and residue. If you choose, a biocide treatment is then applied to slow regrowth of moss, algae and lichen.
The gutters and downpipes are emptied of any moss and debris from the roof clean, and the paths, drive and garden below are tidied before we leave.

Every roof is different, so we use a combination of methods rather than a single approach for every job, and the mix depends on your tiles and how much growth there is:
We explain which methods we recommend and why before any work starts, so you know exactly what your roof cleaning in Bisley will involve and why each step is there.
Each roof clean is quoted individually, after looking at photos or the roof itself. The main factors include:

Not when the method suits the tiles. We scrape moss by hand with tools shaped to the tile profile, then use low-pressure washing or steam rather than high pressure. This removes the growth while protecting the surface and avoiding water being forced under the tiles.
On a shaded roof near Bisley Common, moss can start to return within a few years without treatment. Applying a biocide after cleaning slows that regrowth significantly, and roofs in open, sunny spots naturally stay clean for longer than those under trees.
Yes. Chalet bungalows and bungalows are common in Bisley, and their low, wide roofs are well suited to careful hand scraping and washing. We also clean around dormers and roof windows, and clear the gutters afterwards so the drainage keeps up with the next downpour.
Moss holds water against the tiles, which can lead to frost damage in winter, and as it grows it can lift tile edges. It also washes into gutters and causes blockages. Removing it protects both the roof and the drainage system beneath it.
Moss grows in soft cushions and can be scraped away. Lichen forms flat, crusty patches that bond tightly to the tile. Lichen needs washing or steam plus treatment to break it down, and it fades gradually after treatment rather than disappearing immediately.
Always. Moss inevitably tumbles into the gutters while we work, so we empty them and check the downpipes before finishing. That way the roof clean does not leave you with blocked gutters a few weeks later, which would undo the good work on the tiles.
