Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Send
Thick cushions of moss and creeping lichen taken off Send roofs course by course. Scraping is done by hand, the tiles are then washed or steamed according to what they can take, a biocide is available, and the gutters always get emptied afterwards.
Moss loves a Send roof. Mist rising off the Wey on autumn mornings, shade from hedgerow oaks and the slow drying that comes with low ground all suit it perfectly, and within a few seasons a north-facing slope can be carpeted. Every clump acts like a wet sponge parked on the tile, nudges the bottom edges upward as it fattens, and finally tumbles off in lumps that clog everything below. Our roof cleaning in Send strips it away patiently while keeping the tiles themselves in one piece.
Hand work does the heavy lifting. Our scrapers are made to measure for the tile shapes we meet most, so the blade glides along each course instead of levering tiles apart. With the bulk gone, the finish is matched to the material: robust concrete gets a low-pressure wash, while clay, slate and older, softer tiles are given roof steam cleaning instead. An optional biocide afterwards holds back the return of moss, algae and lichen. Since loosened debris inevitably drops into the gutters, every moss removal visit closes with those runs and outlets cleared out.
Moss needs moisture, shade and time, and Send offers all three in generous amounts. Much of the village lies barely above the level of the Wey and its Navigation, and with the Papercourt gravel lakes close by, the air rarely dries out quickly after a shower. Many homes back onto fields edged with tall oaks, ash and hedges, and the shade they cast keeps rear roof slopes cool and wet for much of the year.
Roof coverings vary widely across the village. Much of the interwar and 1950s housing along Send Road and its offshoots wears concrete interlocking tiles, whose sandpaper-like texture gives moss rhizoids something to cling to. Chalet bungalows and dormer homes around Send Marsh have large, low pitches where moss can spread across a big area before anyone notices. Older cottages towards the church end often carry clay plain tiles or slate, which need a gentler approach, and we adjust our method accordingly.
Leaving moss to build up has knock-on effects. Lumps loosen in storms and lodge in outlets and downpipes, and tiles that stay waterlogged through winter are more prone to frost spalling. Clearing it also makes a striking difference to how a house looks from the road. We carry out roof cleaning across GU23, including Send, Send Marsh, Send Hill, Burnt Common and Cartbridge, as well as nearby Ripley and Old Woking.
We always pick the mildest technique that will still leave your tiles properly clean.
Your photos, plus a proper look when we arrive, tell us the tile type and whether any are cracked or slipped. Together we settle on scraping, washing, steam or a blend of all three.
Working from ridge to eaves, made-to-measure blades peel the growth off each tile surface and out of the seams where courses overlap, never forcing tiles apart.
Leftover lichen, algae and stains come off with either a low-pressure rinse or steam, decided by how hard-wearing the tiles are. Delicate surfaces never face a strong jet.
Where requested, a biocide goes on to delay regrowth. Fallen moss is emptied out of gutters and pipes, and paths, patios and flower beds are swept and rinsed.

A slate roof and a concrete tile roof need very different treatment. Here is how we approach the coverings found around Send:
Any broken or slipped tiles we come across are photographed so you can decide what to do about them.
Every roof is priced individually, since size and condition vary so much. Your quote reflects:
Begin by snapping each slope from the garden or street; a fixed figure follows once we have seen them.
Handled correctly, it should not. The scraper blades are shaped to slot between courses, lifting moss away instead of wrenching it. On fragile clay or slate we switch from washing to steam, which shifts the dirt while placing almost no strain on the tiles.
Rear slopes facing north, or backing onto fields and tall trees, get far less sun and stay damp for longer. Close to the Wey, that shaded side can remain wet for days after rain, which is precisely the environment moss needs to march across the tiles.
Applied once the roof is clean, it knocks back leftover spores, giving the roof a long head start before any green creeps back. You can skip it, but on shady Send roofs ringed by trees it noticeably extends how long the roof stays clear.
Not by the time we leave. Scraping inevitably sends moss into the gutters, which is why clearing the runs and testing every pipe comes as standard; skip that and the outlets would block almost immediately.
Yes. Chalet and dormer bungalows are among the roofs we clean most often. Their wide, low slopes can gather a lot of moss, but they are usually straightforward to access, and we take care around dormer windows and flashing.
Scraping is quiet hand work, and washing or steam produces only modest noise. Moss and debris fall to the ground and into the gutters, and we clear it all away, including from paths, patios and flower borders, before we leave.
