Heavy moss on concrete roof tiles
Thick moss on concrete interlocking tiles and the ridge, above a conservatory. We clear it carefully so nothing falls onto the conservatory roof.
Glen Parva sits on the southern edge of Leicester between Aylestone and Blaby, with the Grand Union Canal and the River Soar close by.
The damp canal-side air helps moss grow, especially on concrete tiles facing north. Most Glen Parva roofs need cleaning every 2–3 years, with north-facing slopes showing moss first.
Glen Parva has a lot of 1950s and 60s semis with concrete roofs, which are a straightforward clean and usually fall into our standard price from £500.
Moss is removed by hand first, so the tiles are never blasted. The roof is then soft-washed at low pressure. Any slipped or cracked tiles we notice are shown in your photos.
