Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Pyrford
Moss creeping across your tiles, or lichen speckling the roof of your bungalow? We remove it carefully by hand, clean the roof with a method that suits its tiles and clear the gutters before we pack up.
A mossy roof is more than an eyesore. Moss traps rainwater, keeps tiles permanently damp and, when it freezes, can open up small cracks and lift tile edges. Loose clumps tumble into the guttering and choke the outlets. Our roof cleaning in Pyrford begins with careful moss removal by hand, with specialist bespoke scrapers profiled to your particular tile, peeling the growth away without disturbing a single course.
After the moss is off, we finish the roof using the most suitable technique. Robust concrete tiles can usually be cleaned with low-pressure washing, while older clay tiles and slates respond better to roof steam cleaning, which uses hot water vapour at low pressure to dissolve algae, lichen and dirt without blasting the surface. To help the roof stay clean for longer, we can apply a biocide that keeps working after we have left, holding back fresh green growth for longer. To finish, every gutter is cleared of the debris that falls during the clean, and paths and patios are swept. That last step matters.
Pyrford is surrounded by fields, woods and water meadows, and that green landscape is reflected on many of its roofs. Homes beside Pyrford Common, near the golf course and along the edges of farmland are often shaded by mature trees and hedges, which keeps tiles cool and damp. Leaf litter caught in the valleys and behind chimneys holds moisture and gives moss a head start, especially on north-facing slopes that see little direct sun in winter.
Around Pyrford Lock and the meadows beside the Wey, cold, damp air pools in the lower ground on autumn and winter mornings. Roofs in these parts of the village are slow to dry out after rain, and we often find thick moss cushions in the joints between tiles as well as a crust of lichen on ridge tiles and around chimney stacks.
Housing here ranges from older cottages to 1930s houses, bungalows, chalet bungalows and later estates. Bungalows have large, low roof areas that are very visible from the road, so moss makes a big impact on appearance. Chalet homes add dormers and valleys where debris gathers. Clay tiles, concrete interlocking tiles and occasional slate roofs all need different handling, and we choose the cleaning method to suit. We clean roofs throughout Pyrford and nearby parts of GU22, as well as in West Byfleet and Old Woking.
We take a methodical approach that protects your tiles while removing as much growth as possible.
We check the tile or slate type, look for slipped or broken tiles and agree the most suitable cleaning approach with you before any work starts.
Using made-to-measure scrapers that fit the tile profile, we work down the roof removing moss from the surfaces and joints, bagging as much as possible.
Lichen, algae and ingrained dirt are cleaned off with roof steam cleaning on delicate tiles or low-pressure washing on robust concrete, avoiding damage to the surface.
A biocide can be applied to slow regrowth. We then vacuum out the gutters, clear any downpipes affected by fallen moss and sweep the ground clean.

Different roof coverings need different treatment. These are the main types we work on around Pyrford, and how we approach each:
If you are unsure what your roof is made of, a clear photo is usually enough for us to tell you. Where the ridge or valleys look worn, we will mention it so a roofer can check them.
No two roofs cost the same. We weigh up the slope and footprint, the number of dormers, valleys and chimneys it has, the amount of moss and lichen, the tile type and cleaning method, and whether you would like a biocide treatment. Bungalows, two-storey houses and outbuildings all vary. Pictures from the back garden and the pavement out front are ideal; message them and a free quote, with no obligation, normally follows that day. Detached garage roofs can be cleaned on the same visit.
We use specialist scrapers made to fit the profile of your tiles, so they glide over the surface and lift the moss without levering tiles up. Any remaining growth is cleaned off with low-pressure washing or steam, never high-pressure jetting.
Steam relies on heat rather than force: hot vapour at gentle pressure softens and kills moss roots, algae and lichen. It is ideal for older clay tiles and slate that could be damaged by a jet wash, and it cleans thoroughly without leaving chemicals on the roof.
Very often. Pyrford has a lot of single-storey and chalet homes, and because those roofs are so visible from the street, moss has a big effect on how the house looks. We clean the whole roof and take particular care around dormers and valleys.
The lower parts of Pyrford near the River Wey and Pyrford Lock often have damp, misty conditions, especially in the colder months. Roofs there take longer to dry out after rain, which gives moss and algae ideal conditions to grow.
It is optional but recommended. Biocide continues working after the clean, slowing the regrowth of moss, algae and lichen. Without it, a shaded roof can start to green over again relatively quickly. It is applied by low-pressure spray once the roof is clean, and it is not something you will notice afterwards.
It never gets left behind. Some moss inevitably drops into the gutters during a roof clean, so we vacuum them out and check the downpipes before we leave. That way the gutters are working properly and you are not left with a hidden blockage.
