What Earl Shilton customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Roofs in Earl Shilton — What We See
Earl Shilton is a hillside town between Hinckley and Leicester, with a long history in boot and shoe making and hosiery.
Exposed hillside roofs here get a lot of wind-blown spores, and the concrete tiles on post-war estates often grow moss along the lower courses. In Earl Shilton a clean every three years is usually enough, unless lichen is spreading across the tiles.
On the hill, rain is often driven sideways, and moss tends to build up on the side of the roof facing the prevailing wind.
We clear moss from the slopes, ridge and around any chimney or vent. A gentle soft-wash cleans the tiles — never high-pressure washing. Downpipes are checked at the end, as roof moss often ends up in them.

FAQs
Roof Cleaning Earl Shilton — Your Questions
Everything you need to know about our Earl Shilton roof cleaning service. Can't find your answer? Call 07421 433910.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Earl Shilton?
Our Earl Shilton roof cleans start at £500, including hand moss removal, soft-wash, biocide and clearing the gutters afterwards.
How often does a roof need cleaning in Earl Shilton?
Wind-blown spores from farmland settle on Earl Shilton roofs, so algae shows up even on sunny slopes.
Why do roofs in Earl Shilton get so mossy?
Exposed hillside roofs here get a lot of wind-blown spores, and the concrete tiles on post-war estates often grow moss along the lower courses.
Which areas around Earl Shilton do you cover for roof cleaning?
We clean roofs across Earl Shilton (LE9) and in Kirkby Mallory, Thurlaston, Elmesthorpe, Barwell, Hinckley and Desford.
Do you pressure wash roofs in Earl Shilton?
We don't. High pressure can crack tiles and wash out mortar, so we hand-scrape the moss and use a low-pressure soft-wash and biocide.
Do you clear the gutters after cleaning a roof in Earl Shilton?
Yes. Moss from the roof ends up in the gutters, so we empty them and check the downpipes as part of the roof clean.

We are fully insured for roof work in Hinckley and Bosworth, on homes and commercial buildings.
