Home›Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal›Wonersh
Thick moss, lichen and algae taking over your roof? We clean roofs across Wonersh with hand scraping, low-pressure washing or steam, matched to your tiles, then clear the gutters and can treat the roof to slow regrowth.
Under the trees of the Surrey Hills, moss grows quickly. On a roof it holds rainwater against the tiles, creeps beneath their edges and drops clumps into the gutters with every shower. Our roof cleaning in Wonersh removes moss, algae and lichen while protecting the roof covering. Because clay peg tiles, concrete tiles and slate all behave differently, and some older tiles are delicate, we choose the cleaning method to suit your roof rather than using one approach for every house.
Moss removal starts by hand, using specialist made-to-measure tile scrapers that fit the profile of your tiles and lift moss without forcing water underneath or disturbing the tiles. Ingrained algae and dirt can then be removed with low-pressure washing or roof steam cleaning, depending on what your tiles can safely take. When the roof is clean, we clear the moss and debris from every gutter. An optional biocide treatment can then be applied to slow the regrowth of moss, algae and lichen, helping the roof stay cleaner and protected for longer.
Wonersh is one of the leafiest villages south of Guildford. The pinewoods of Blackheath, the wooded slopes of Chinthurst Hill and the mature oaks, beeches and chestnuts along its lanes all cast shade over neighbouring roofs. Shaded roofs dry slowly after rain, and on north-facing slopes they can stay damp for most of the winter. Those are exactly the conditions moss needs, and it can spread from a few cushions to a thick carpet in just a few years.
Roof coverings across the parish differ a great deal. Many cottages in the conservation area have traditional clay peg tiles, which can be old, soft and easily damaged. These need careful hand scraping and minimal pressure. Victorian and Arts and Crafts houses on Blackheath may have clay tiles or slate, while later homes typically have concrete interlocking tiles that trap moss in their ridges but usually tolerate a low-pressure wash after scraping. Barns and outbuildings can have their own mix of tiles, too, sometimes older and more fragile than the house itself, so we check them individually.
Leaving moss in place lets roots work under tiles, and the water it holds can freeze and cause damage in cold weather. It also keeps blocking the gutters below. We clean roofs throughout GU5, including Blackheath and the outlying lanes, and always explain the most suitable method for your roof before we start.
We assess each roof carefully, then use the method that suits its tiles and condition.
We check the tile type, pitch, condition and extent of moss, then recommend hand scraping, low-pressure washing, steam or a combination, explaining why before starting.
Made-to-measure scrapers that fit your tiles lift thick moss row by row, working with the overlaps so water is not pushed underneath and tiles are not disturbed.
Remaining algae and grime are removed with low-pressure washing or roof steam cleaning, depending on what your tiles can safely handle without damage, wear or water getting underneath.
Moss and debris are cleared from every gutter and the ground is tidied. A biocide treatment can then be applied to slow regrowth of moss, algae and lichen.

The right technique protects your roof while giving the best result. As a general guide, here is how we approach the roofs we find around the village:
We always explain the method we recommend for your roof and why, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Every roof is different, so we quote after seeing photos or visiting the property. The price depends on:
Send photos of each roof slope, and any conservatory or extension beneath it, and we will reply with a fixed quote, usually the same day.
Yes, with care. Older peg tiles can be soft and fragile, so we rely on hand scraping and gentle methods rather than pressure. We inspect the roof first and will tell you about any slipped, cracked or missing tiles before starting.
The village is surrounded by woodland and mature trees, including the pines on Blackheath. Shade keeps roofs damp, especially north-facing slopes, which gives moss the moisture it needs to grow quickly and thickly through autumn, winter and spring, often far faster than on open, sunny roofs.
Not with our approach. We use specialist made-to-measure scrapers shaped to your tiles, so moss lifts away without the tiles being levered up. Any washing is done at low pressure or with steam, which avoids eroding the tile surface or driving water up beneath the laps.
Yes. Moss removal sends plenty of debris into the gutters, so we always clear them once the roof is done and tidy up around the house. It is included as part of the job, so there is nothing extra to arrange afterwards.
The biocide slows the regrowth of moss, algae and lichen rather than stopping it permanently. How long the roof stays clean depends on shade and moisture, but on shaded roofs around Wonersh it makes a noticeable difference to how quickly moss returns.
In many cases, yes. Barns, garages and outbuildings often have moss-covered roofs. We will check the roof structure and tile type from your photos and confirm whether it can be cleaned safely, and how, before giving you a fixed price.
