What Hathern customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Roofs in Hathern — What We See
Hathern is a village north-west of Loughborough, known for Hathernware terracotta, which was made in the village.
Older terraces have slate or clay tiles, and newer homes have concrete tiles that grow moss on the shaded side. Open countryside around Hathern means plenty of wind-blown spores, so lichen and algae are often a bigger problem than thick moss.
Some Hathern homes were built with local brick and terracotta details, so we take care around decorative ridge tiles and finials when cleaning the roof.
We clear moss from the slopes, ridge and around any chimney or vent. A gentle soft-wash cleans the tiles — never high-pressure washing. Any slipped or cracked tiles we notice are shown in your photos.

FAQs
Roof Cleaning Hathern — Your Questions
Straight answers about roof cleaning in Hathern — prices, timings and what's included. Can't find your answer? Call 07421 433910.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Hathern?
From £500 for a typical Hathern house. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted after we've seen photos or had a look, and the price doesn't change on the day.
How often does a roof need cleaning in Hathern?
Exposed Hathern roofs catch wind and rain from every direction, and lichen spots build up even where moss is light.
Is moss a problem on Hathern roofs?
Older terraces have slate or clay tiles, and newer homes have concrete tiles that grow moss on the shaded side.
Which areas around Hathern do you cover for roof cleaning?
We clean roofs across Hathern (LE12) and in Long Whatton, Zouch, Loughborough, Shepshed and Kegworth.
Do you pressure wash roofs in Hathern?
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.
How long does a roof clean take?
Most houses take a day. Larger or very mossy roofs can take longer, and we'll tell you when we quote.
