Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Chobham
Thick moss, lichen and algae removed from Chobham roofs using hand scraping, low-pressure washing or steam, with an optional treatment to slow regrowth. The method is matched to your tiles, and the gutters are cleared afterwards.
Moss on a roof is more than a cosmetic issue. As cushions of moss grow, they hold moisture against the tiles, lift edges and send clumps into the gutters every time it rains. Our roof cleaning in Chobham starts with careful moss removal by hand, using specialist made-to-measure tile scrapers that fit the profile of your roof, so the moss comes away cleanly without damaging the tiles.
Once the bulk of the moss is off, we choose the finishing method that suits the roof. That might be low-pressure washing to lift remaining algae, or roof steam cleaning, which uses heat rather than force and is kind to older or more delicate tiles. To finish, we can apply a biocide treatment that slows the return of moss, algae and lichen. Because moss removal inevitably sends debris into the gutters, we clear them afterwards so your drainage is left in working order. The result is a roof that looks years younger and is better protected through the winter months. We are happy to talk you through the options before any work begins.
Roofs in Chobham grow moss faster than most. Tall pines, oaks and birches around the village and along the edge of the common cast long shadows, and slopes that rarely see direct sun stay damp for days after rain. Moss spores thrive in exactly those conditions, and on roofs beneath trees we often find thick cushions in the gaps between tiles, along ridges and in valleys, with grey and yellow lichen spreading across the tile faces.
The village has a real variety of roof coverings. Older cottages in the conservation area often have handmade clay tiles with a soft, uneven surface that holds moss readily and needs a gentle approach, which is where hand scraping and steam come into their own. Larger 20th-century homes on the outskirts are frequently covered with concrete interlocking tiles that tolerate a low-pressure wash well. Some properties combine both, with an older main house and newer extensions or garages.
Moss that is left in place keeps tiles wet, and in a cold snap that moisture can freeze and cause damage. It also washes straight into the gutters, a common cause of the blocked outlets we see around the village. We clean roofs across the GU24 area, including homes in Chobham, Burrowhill and Valley End, and along the routes towards Bisley, West End and Longcross, with roof cleaning tailored to each property we visit.
Every roof is assessed before we start, because the right method depends on the tiles.
We look at the type and condition of the tiles, how heavy the moss is and where it has built up, then recommend scraping, washing, steam or a combination of the three.
Made-to-measure scrapers that match your tile profile lift the moss from the surface and from the gaps between tiles, removing the bulk of it without heavy force.
Remaining algae and residue are cleaned off using low-pressure washing or roof steam cleaning, chosen to suit the tile, followed by an optional biocide treatment if you want one.
Moss and debris that fell during the clean are removed from the gutters and downpipes, and the ground around the house is swept up before we leave.

Moss and lichen build up gradually, so it is easy to miss until it is well established. It may be time for a roof clean if you see:
Tackling moss early is easier, and gentler on the roof, than waiting until it has taken over and started to lift tiles or block the gutters every winter.
Roof cleaning is priced according to the roof in front of us. The main considerations are:

High-pressure washing can damage some tiles, which is why we use low pressure where washing is suitable and steam or hand scraping where it is not. The method is chosen to suit your tiles, so older clay roofs in Chobham and modern concrete tiles each get an appropriate clean.
Steam cleaning uses heated water at low pressure to soften and lift moss, algae and grime. Because it relies on heat rather than force, it is a gentle option for delicate or older tiles and helps clean deep into the texture of the surface.
It depends largely on shade and surrounding trees. Roofs under pines near Chobham Common will see moss return sooner than open, sunny roofs. A biocide treatment after cleaning slows the regrowth of moss, algae and lichen, helping the result last much longer.
Some moss inevitably drops into the gutters during the clean, so we clear them as part of the job. You are left with clean tiles and with gutters and downpipes that flow properly, rather than a new blockage waiting to happen.
Yes, and we take a gentle approach on old handmade tiles, often relying on hand scraping and steam. If your property is listed, it is sensible to check with the local council whether any consent is needed for the treatment you are planning.
Yes. Lichen bonds tightly to tiles and does not scrape off as easily as moss, so the washing or steam stage and the biocide treatment are important. Treated lichen gradually weakens and weathers away, leaving a much cleaner tile surface over the following months.
