Roof Moss Removal in Westerham, Kent

Most homeowners we speak to in Sevenoaks initially call us because they do not like the look of a green roof, but the real issues go much deeper. Moss acts like a heavy, sodden sponge. It sits on your tiles, trapping moisture right against the surface for weeks on end. When the temperature drops, that trapped water freezes and expands. This freeze-thaw cycle is the primary cause of cracked or blown tiles. Over time, this lead to water ingress, where moisture finds its way into your roof timbers, causing rot and damp. Have you noticed clumps of moss falling onto your driveway or blocking your gutters? That is a clear sign that the growth has become heavy enough to start causing structural problems. By removing the moss now, you are preventing much more expensive repairs down the line.

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to roof maintenance. Some companies will suggest high-pressure jet washing, but we steer clear of that as it can often damage the delicate surface of your tiles and force water into your loft space. Instead, we use a manual scraping method. Our team uses profiled scrapers specifically shaped to match the curve of your concrete or clay tiles, gently removing the bulk of the growth without any aggressive force. For more delicate jobs, we offer soft washing, which uses low-pressure water and specialised cleaning solutions to achieve a deep clean. We always include a full gutter clearance as part of the job, ensuring that all the debris we remove does not end up clogging your drainage system. It is a thorough, mess-free process that leaves your roof looking refreshed and functioning perfectly.

There is no point in cleaning a roof if the moss is just going to grow back in six months. That is why we apply a professional-grade biocide treatment once the manual cleaning is complete. This specialist solution works its way into the pores of the tiles, killing off any remaining microscopic spores of moss, lichen, and algae. It is a slow-acting treatment that continues to clean the roof every time it rains, providing a long-lasting barrier against new growth. Most of our Westerham customers find that this treatment keeps their roofs clear for years, significantly extending the life of the tiles. It is a vital part of roof maintenance that saves you money and hassle in the long run by keeping the organic growth at bay.
