Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Brookwood
Is your roof wearing a green coat? We remove moss, lichen and algae from Brookwood roofs with hand tools, low-pressure washing or steam, then treat the tiles and clear the gutters underneath.
A roof covered in moss is not just an eyesore. The moss traps rain against the tiles, creeps into the overlaps where it can lift them, and sheds clumps that block gutters and downpipes. Our roof cleaning in Brookwood deals with the problem at its root. Moss removal is carried out by hand with specialist made-to-measure tile scrapers, shaped to the profile of your tiles so they reach into the joints without lifting or cracking anything.
After scraping, the remaining algae and grime are cleaned off using the method that best suits your roof covering. Some tiles are happy with a low-pressure wash. Others, especially older clay or more delicate coverings, are better treated with roof steam cleaning, which uses heat to break down growth instead of force. To keep the roof cleaner for longer, we offer an optional biocide treatment that carries on killing spores after we have gone, slowing the return of moss, algae and lichen. The job is always finished by clearing the gutters of everything that came off the roof, so your drainage is left in good working order.
Few villages in Surrey have as much tall tree cover close to houses as Brookwood. The huge conifers and broadleaves of Brookwood Cemetery, the trees lining the Basingstoke Canal and the pine and birch scattered across Sheets Heath all cast long shadows over neighbouring roofs. Those shaded slopes stay wet for days after rain, and moss grows fastest exactly where the sun does not reach. Needles caught between tiles hold even more moisture, giving the moss a head start.
Roof types vary across the village. Victorian and Edwardian homes near the station often have natural slate or clay plain tiles, which are more brittle and need careful hand work and gentle cleaning. Interwar houses and the many bungalows around Brookwood commonly have concrete tiles, whose rough texture lets moss grip firmly and form deep cushions. Modern homes tend to use smoother tiles, but their steep pitches, valleys and dormers trap debris where moss quickly takes hold. Because of that mix, we never use one method across every job.
The heathland setting brings lichen too. Grey and yellow lichen patches are common on roofs facing the open ground towards Pirbright and Bisley, and they bond tightly to the surface. Steam cleaning or a treatment after scraping is often the most effective answer. We carry out roof cleaning and moss removal throughout GU24, covering Brookwood and the surrounding villages including West End and Bisley.
We match each step to the tiles on your roof rather than following a fixed routine.
We check the tile or slate type, its condition and how deeply the moss and lichen have spread, then explain which combination of scraping, washing and steam suits your roof.
The thick growth comes off first, using tile scrapers made to match your roof profile, so moss is lifted from the surfaces and the gaps between tiles without damaging them.
We then low-pressure wash or steam clean the tiles to remove algae, lichen and dirt, choosing whichever is gentle enough for the covering on your house.
Where requested, we finish the roof with a biocide that holds back new growth. Finally the gutters are emptied of moss and grit and the downpipes checked so everything drains freely.

We want you to know exactly what you are getting before we start. A typical roof clean with us covers:
If we notice cracked, slipped or missing tiles while we work, we will take photos and let you know. That gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition even though tile repairs are not part of the clean, so you can arrange a roofer if needed.
Each roof is different, so we always quote individually after seeing it. The price mainly depends on:
Photos of each slope, taken from the ground, give us a good starting point, and quotes are always free with no obligation to book.
Shade and moisture. Roofs near the cemetery, the canal and the heath are overhung by tall conifers and broadleaves, so they stay damp for long periods. Needles caught between tiles hold water too, creating perfect conditions for moss to establish and spread.
Yes, with care. Slate and clay plain tiles are more fragile than concrete, so we rely on gentle hand scraping and, where needed, steam cleaning instead of washing. We assess the roof first and point out any loose or damaged slates before starting.
Steam cleaning uses heated water at low pressure to break down moss, algae and lichen. Because it relies on temperature rather than force, it is kinder to older or delicate tiles and very effective on stubborn lichen that will not shift with a normal wash.
It is optional, but it makes a real difference to how long the roof stays clean. The treatment keeps working after we leave, killing remaining spores so moss, algae and lichen take much longer to return, which is useful on shaded roofs around Brookwood.
Always. Moss and grit inevitably end up in the gutters during a roof clean, so we empty them and check the downpipes before we finish. That way the clean does not leave you with a blocked gutter afterwards. Photos are available on request.
Roofs can be cleaned for most of the year, but spring and early autumn are popular because moss is easy to remove and there is time for a treatment to work before winter. Very wet or frosty days are avoided for safety and best results.
