Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Windlesham
Green eiderdowns of moss on a shady slope, grey lichen rosettes along the ridge, tiles blackened by years beneath conifers: we peel it all back by hand, wash in whatever way your tiles can tolerate and leave the gutters empty.
Think of an established moss colony as a soaked sponge glued to the roof. It keeps the lower edges permanently damp, nudges the overlaps apart as it thickens, and every dry spell sends crumbs of it rolling into the gutters. Roof cleaning in Windlesham with SuperClean Gutters starts with moss removal by hand, using scrapers cut to fit the exact shape of your tile, so the growth is teased out of the joints and channels rather than dragged across the face.
Washing comes second, and the tile decides how. Hard-wearing concrete interlocking tiles cope well with a controlled low-pressure rinse that flushes away the leftover dirt. Softer, older clay usually gets roof steam cleaning instead, where hot vapour does the loosening and very little force is involved. With the surface bare, you can opt for a biocidal treatment that slows how quickly moss, algae and lichen recolonise. We finish at ground level: gutters and downpipes cleared of everything that came down, and paths and patios swept so no green crumbs are trodden indoors.
Few things suit moss better than a damp, shaded roof surrounded by conifers, and that describes a great many houses in Windlesham. Tall Scots pines, cedars and birches cast long shadows over roofs for much of the year, and needles caught on the tiles hold moisture that gives spores a foothold. North-facing slopes, and roofs on plots near the woodland and heath around Chobham Common, can be furred green again three or four winters after their last clean.
The mix of roof coverings in GU20 means there is no single right method. Many of the 1960s to 1980s detached homes across the village have concrete interlocking tiles, which are hard-wearing and suit a scrape and then a measured low-pressure rinse. Older cottages near the parish church and the original village centre are more likely to have handmade clay tiles or slate, where a softer approach, often steam, protects the surface. Some of the larger modern houses have complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers and hips, all of which trap moss in corners.
Ignoring it costs more in the end. It clogs gutters every time it dries and rolls off, and on colder nights water held in the moss freezes and can damage tile edges. Our roof and moss work reaches every corner of Windlesham and the wider GU20 area, as well as in Lightwater, Bagshot, Sunningdale and the villages towards Chobham.
The roof itself dictates the technique, so the first step is always a proper look.
Tile material, age, pitch, and the state of ridges, valleys and lead flashings all feed into whether we steam, rinse at low pressure, or scrape and stop there.
Shaped scrapers prise the growth out of the tile channels and overlaps. Clumps are collected and brought down in bags rather than flung onto your lawn or borders.
The agreed wash removes residue and staining. If you have chosen it, a biocide follows, soaking into the surface to discourage new spores for longer.
Whatever slid off the tiles is scooped from each gutter and flushed from each downpipe, then patios, steps and drive get a sweep.

No single approach fits every roof in the village. Broadly speaking:
High pressure is never pointed at a roof that could be harmed by it; the gentlest effective option always wins.
You will get one fixed figure once we have seen pictures of the roof. It rests on:
Stand in the garden, photograph each slope and send them in; the quote costs nothing.
It does gradual harm. A thick layer keeps tile edges wet, can prise overlaps upward and sheds into the gutters whenever it dries. Water trapped in moss also freezes on cold nights, which can flake the edges of older tiles. Taking it off protects both the roof and the drainage.
Not a high-pressure one. Powerful jets can strip the surface layer from tiles and force water up beneath them. The moss comes off by hand scraper first, then we rinse at low pressure or use steam, chosen according to your tile.
Shaded roofs recolonise faster, but the optional biocide slows that down a good deal. Cutting back any branches hanging over the roof helps too. Many households near the woods book a check every few years and a top-up treatment when needed.
Yes, with care. Clay is softer than concrete, so we pair hand scraping with steam rather than rinsing. If we come across cracked or slipped tiles, you will get photos so a roofer can be booked to deal with them.
It is bagged where possible and taken away, and the gutters are emptied of whatever slipped into them on the way down. Downpipes are checked as well, because loose moss is one of the commonest causes of a blocked outlet.
Dry weather matters more than the month. Late spring and summer are popular because moss is drier and comes away more cleanly, though we work through autumn and winter whenever conditions are dry enough to be safe.
