Roof Cleaning in Dovercourt
Slate roofs on the older Dovercourt terraces and concrete tiles on the newer estates both grow moss on the side away from the sun. We take it off by hand and finish with steam. We never pressure wash a roof.
No two Dovercourt roofs are the same, so we survey first. Guide price from £800.

Older terrace roofs
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre have steep roofs, chimneys and back additions with their own small slopes. Moss gathers around the chimney stacks and along the valleys.
We survey access before quoting, as roofs in a terrace often have to be reached from the front or a narrow yard.
Concrete tiles up the hill
Many of the later homes in Upper Dovercourt have concrete tiles, and the rough surface holds moss well. Hand removal and steam bring the colour back without wearing the tiles. Many of these homes also have a porch canopy or bay roof at the front, and those small roofs can be added to the survey and cleaned on the same visit.
Gutters after the roof
Moss scraped off a roof has to go somewhere. We clear what falls into the gutters as part of the job, so your downpipes are not left blocked. The salty air means lichen on seafront roofs can be stubborn. Steam softens it so it comes away without scraping the surface off the tiles.
Gentle on tiles
Steam softens moss roots and lichen so they let go of the tile, without the force of a jet wash. Everything comes off by hand first, then the tiles are steamed.
Lichen spots
Grey and yellow lichen spots grip tiles tightly. Steam softens them so they come away without scraping the tile surface.
