Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Runnymede
Moss mounds on concrete tiles in Addlestone, lichen crusting old clay in Chertsey, green slopes under the pines of Ottershaw – we take it off by hand, clean the roof in the way your tiles can handle, and offer treatment to slow its return.
A mossy roof can look charming in a photograph, but up close it is quietly working against you. The growth holds rainwater on the tiles, lifts their edges so wind-driven rain can creep underneath, and sheds a steady stream of debris into the gutters. Frost then gets to work on any tile that stays wet. Roof cleaning in Runnymede from our team removes that burden: careful moss removal first, followed by a cleaning method chosen for your specific tile, then a full gutter clear so nothing is left to block the outlets.
Moss is pared away manually using bespoke scrapers cut to your tile’s shape; they ride along the ridges and overlaps and never lever a tile out of position. For the deeper clean, healthy concrete copes well with a gentle rinse, whereas aged clay, slate and more fragile surfaces benefit from roof steam cleaning, where heat does the work rather than force. Once the roof is clean, we can apply a biocidal treatment which wipes out lingering spores and buys you a much longer gap before anything green takes hold again.
Runnymede gives moss two kinds of welcome. On the west side, around Virginia Water, Wentworth, Longcross, Lyne and Ottershaw, homes are tucked among Scots pine, birch and oak on sandy heathland. The trees keep roofs shaded and dripping for hours after rain, and pine needles collect in the valleys where they rot into a compost that moss loves. These areas produce some of the thickest moss cover we see anywhere in Surrey.
On the river side of the borough, in Egham, Thorpe, Chertsey and Addlestone, the cause is moisture rather than shade. Low-lying ground near the Thames, the Wey Navigation and the Bourne holds damp air, especially in autumn and winter, and north-facing slopes rarely dry out fully. Interlocking concrete tiles on 1930s and post-war semis, which are common in Addlestone and New Haw, are particularly prone because their textured surface grips moss spores easily.
Englefield Green and the slopes of Cooper’s Hill add a further mix of older properties with clay tiles and slate, where a gentle steam clean is often the best approach. Our roof work covers TW20, KT15 and KT16, and before we start you will understand exactly what we plan to do and the reasoning behind it.
We tailor each stage to your roof, but the overall sequence stays the same.
Between your pictures and our own look on arrival, we establish the tile material, how far the growth has spread and whether anything is cracked or out of place so you know the condition before work begins.
Specialist tile scrapers lift moss from each course, working methodically so debris is gathered rather than scattered over paths, lawns and flower beds below.
Concrete tiles are usually given a low-pressure wash; clay, slate and older tiles get a roof steam clean to remove remaining algae, lichen and dirt more gently.
If you have chosen it, biocide is sprayed over the clean tiles. After that we clear moss from the gutters and downpipes, sweep up and send you photos of the finished roof.

Cleaning the roof also helps your gutters stay clearer between visits.

Homes in these wooded parts of Runnymede sit beneath pines and broadleaf trees that keep roofs shaded and damp. Needles also gather in valleys and rot into a perfect growing medium. The combination leads to heavy moss, and a biocide treatment after cleaning is especially worthwhile.
Yes, with extra care. Older clay tiles can be brittle, so we scrape by hand and use roof steam cleaning rather than pressure. If any tiles are already cracked or loose, we point them out before starting.
A full-power jet can strip the surface off a tile and push water up past the overlaps into the roof. That is why we use hand scraping, low-pressure washing for sound concrete tiles, and steam for more delicate roofs.
Sunlight and damp decide it. On an exposed, south-facing roof a cleaned roof can stay clear for several years. Under trees or near the river, regrowth is faster, so a biocide treatment helps extend the time before moss returns.
Always. Scraping sends plenty of moss over the edge, so emptying the gutters and flushing the downpipes is built into every roof job we quote.
Not necessarily. Once the quote is agreed, we need safe access around the property, water and power. We will message you when the job is complete and send photos of the cleaned roof.
