Roof Cleaning in Thorrington
Thorrington’s homes line the B1027 and the lanes towards Thorrington Cross and the creek, many under hedgerow trees. Roofs on the sheltered creek side of the village tend to hold the most moss. We clean roofs across the village by hand and with steam. We never pressure wash.

Creek-side shade and hedgerows
Roofs near the creek stay damp after rain and on misty mornings, and they grow thick moss. Along the lanes, mature hedgerow trees shade many roofs for part of the day, and leaves gather in the valleys and along the lower courses, where they rot down into a perfect bed for moss. Homes facing the B1027 pick up road grime on their tiles too.
Bungalows and older properties
Bungalows on the lanes often have wide, low roofs where moss spreads across the whole rear slope; hand removal clears it in sections before the steam goes on. Older properties in and around the village may have clay tiles, which can be softer and more brittle than concrete. Every roof is surveyed first, and garages and outbuildings can be included.
After the clean
Once the moss is off, it’s worth having the gutters cleared too, because loosened clumps can wash into them, and we can do both on the same day. Roofs under hedgerow trees will green up again over time, and most customers here have them checked every few years. If you spot a slipped tile or cracked ridge during the survey, we’ll tell you before we start.
Farm buildings and stables can be surveyed too, if they have tiled roofs, and so can garages and annexes on the larger plots in the village.
Steam, not pressure
Every roof is cleaned the same way: moss off by hand first, then steam. We clear the moss by hand before any steam is used. The tiles are steamed to clear what’s left, using heat instead of force. When we finish, we clear the debris from paths and gutters.
What the survey looks at
At a Thorrington survey we check the type of roof covering, its age and condition, the pitch, the access and how much moss and lichen there is. Then we give you a firm price and explain how the hand and steam clean will work on your roof.
