Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Burwood Park
Under the oaks and pines, roofs on the estate grow moss like a lawn. We peel it away by hand, lift lichen and algae with steam or a soft rinse, and leave the tiles clean, the gutters empty and the garden tidy.
Moss on a roof is rarely just a cosmetic issue. Dense cushions keep tiles permanently wet, prise at the edges as they thicken, and eventually tumble off in storms to choke whatever gutter lies beneath. Our roof cleaning Burwood Park service deals with it methodically, starting with moss removal by hand. Each row of tiles is cleared using scrapers cut to that specific tile shape, so the blade slides into the gaps and overlaps without levering anything loose.
After scraping, the finer growth of algae and lichen is tackled. Depending on the covering we either use steam, which loosens deposits through heat rather than force and suits older or more delicate tiles, or a gentle low-pressure rinse for sturdier concrete. Neither approach drives water up under the laps the way a high-powered jet can. For a longer-lasting finish, we can spray a biocidal treatment as the final step to kill residual spores and hold back new growth. Every job finishes with the gutters, valleys and outlets being emptied of whatever scraped material has landed in them, and the paths and lawns below swept clear.
Burwood Park was laid out with privacy and greenery in mind, and decades on the trees have grown tall. Oaks, Scots pines, beeches and limes now overhang many roofs, leaving tiles in shadow for long stretches and slow to dry once the rain stops. The estate also lies on the lower ground between Hersham and Walton-on-Thames, not far from the River Mole, where damp autumn and winter mornings are common. Those conditions suit moss, algae and lichen perfectly.
Roof coverings across the estate vary with the age of each house. Many mid-century homes have concrete interlocking tiles, which roughen with age and give moss plenty to cling to. Some houses have clay plain tiles, where lichen settles into the slightly porous surface, and contemporary rebuilds may use slate or modern fibre-cement products. We assess each roof and adjust the scraper, steam or rinse approach to match, rather than treating every surface the same way.
Garages, garden buildings and single-storey extensions are often the worst affected, because they sit lowest and closest to the trees. Including them in the same visit makes sense, as the moss from those roofs ends up in the same drains and gutters. We carry out roof cleaning throughout Burwood Park and the wider KT12 area, parking on your drive to keep the estate’s private roads clear for residents.
Every stage is chosen with your particular tiles in mind, from first scrape to final sweep.
Your pictures, followed by a closer look once we are on site, tell us whether we are dealing with tile or slate, reveal any loose or cracked pieces, and indicate how much of the surface is now carpeted in growth.
Working from the ridge downwards, the moss is cleared from every row and from the gaps between tiles with shaped scrapers, so the debris naturally falls towards the gutters for collection.
Algae and lichen left behind are loosened with steam on delicate tiles or a soft rinse on robust ones, cleaning the surface while keeping water out from beneath the tile overlaps.
An optional biocide is sprayed on to delay regrowth, then gutters, valleys and outlets are emptied, and fallen moss is swept up from the paths, patio and lawn below.

It can be hard to judge a roof from the ground, but a few clues are easy to spot once you know what to look for. You are probably due a clean if you notice:
Booking roof cleaning Burwood Park homes need before moss becomes established keeps tiles in better condition and saves repeated gutter blockages.
We quote for each roof individually, as no two are quite the same. The price reflects:
Pictures of each slope, whether snapped from the lawn or leaning out of a bedroom window, are normally sufficient for us to prepare an accurate, no-obligation quote.
High-pressure jets can strip tile surfaces and push water beneath them, which is why we avoid them. We remove moss by hand and then use steam or a low-pressure rinse matched to the tile, which cleans thoroughly without the risks of aggressive jet washing.
In Burwood Park, with so much shade and tree cover, moss will eventually return. A biocidal treatment after cleaning slows that process considerably, and many owners find a long interval passes before anything beyond a light top-up spray is required.
Always. Scraped moss and tile grit end up in the gutters during any roof clean, so emptying the gutters, valleys and outlets is part of every job we do. Leaving them full would simply cause overflows at the next heavy rainfall.
Yes. Concrete interlocking tiles are very common on the estate’s mid-century homes. They are robust enough for a low-pressure rinse after scraping, and a biocide treatment is especially worthwhile because their rougher surface gives moss more to grip. We check for cracked tiles first.
We apply biocide carefully to the roof surface only and avoid overspray onto planting, lawns and water features. If you have a pond, sensitive plants or wildlife you want us to be aware of, let us know beforehand and we will plan accordingly.
Yes, and it is often a good idea. Garages and outbuildings on Burwood Park properties frequently sit under the heaviest tree cover and can be mossier than the main house. Cleaning them in the same visit is efficient and keeps everything consistent.
