Roof Cleaning Hodge Hill —
Professional Service for B36 Properties

Hodge Hill was developed largely in the 1950s and 1960s as part of Birmingham's post-war housing expansion, and the area's mature street trees — planted alongside the original housing — are now well-established. Oaks, limes and sycamores line many of Hodge Hill's residential streets, and every autumn they shed significant volumes of leaves and seeds directly into roofs. Properties near Hodge Hill Common and the green spaces along the River Cole can see roofs fill completely within a single season.

The area has a high proportion of post-war semi-detached and terraced properties, many with their original or early-replacement uPVC guttering. These older systems develop sagging sections and leaking joints over time, particularly when the weight of accumulated debris is left unmanaged. Water that overflows from a moss-covered roof runs down the external brickwork, saturating the wall and working its way into the interior — causing damp patches and mould.

Hodge Hill also has a significant number of rental properties where roof maintenance is often overlooked between tenancies. Our annual maintenance service keeps rental properties in good condition and provides landlords with photographic evidence for their records.

Across Hodge Hill (B36), post-war estates with north-facing rear slopes under tree cover are the properties we treat most often for moss, algae and valley staining after wet winters.

Properties beneath mature street trees see faster lichen spread on rear elevations — we recommend checking moss coverage every 18–24 months.

If your property borders Stechford or Shard End, we can often combine your visit with nearby roof cleaning jobs for faster scheduling.
