Shade and overhanging branches
A roof under a big oak or beech barely sees the sun on one side. Moss grows thick there and holds water against the tiles like a sponge, and fallen leaves gather in the valleys and rot down.
Cutting back overhanging branches after a clean slows regrowth noticeably.
Old clay tiles near Copford Green
Older cottages may have handmade clay tiles that are softer than modern ones. That’s why we never use high pressure: hand removal and steam clean the tiles without wearing them away. We’ll note any slipped tiles during the survey.
Moss on outbuildings
Garages, workshops and garden rooms in Copford’s larger gardens often sit under trees and grow even more moss than the house. We can include them in the survey; smaller roofs like these are usually quick to clean by hand and steam.
How a roof clean works
After the survey, we take the moss off by hand and steam clean the tiles. We’ll be honest about the likely finish before you book.

Lichen spots
Grey and yellow lichen spots grip tiles tightly. Steam softens them so they come away without scraping the tile surface.

Copford roof cleaning questions
Is steam safe on old clay tiles?
Yes. Steam works at low pressure, so it cleans without eroding soft clay. We check the roof’s condition first.
What about moss that falls into the gutters?
It needs clearing, and we can do a full gutter clean on the same visit.
How do I pay?
By card or direct debit once the work is done.
