What Leicester customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Roofs in Leicester — What We See
Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands, built along the River Soar and the Grand Union Canal, with neighbourhoods that range from tight Victorian streets to leafy 1930s suburbs.
Many older Leicester terraces still have their original Welsh slate, which grows moss in the joints on north-facing rear slopes. Inter-war semis in Knighton and Evington usually have clay or concrete tiles that hold algae along the lower courses. If you can see green tufts from the street, a Leicester roof is usually due a clean.
In the city, moss also grows on bay roofs and back-addition roofs that are hard to see from the street. We check these smaller roofs as well as the main slopes and photograph anything that looks loose.
We clear moss from the slopes, ridge and around any chimney or vent. Low-pressure washing removes algae without cracking tiles or washing out mortar. Any slipped or cracked tiles we notice are shown in your photos.

How much does roof cleaning cost in Leicester?
Roof cleaning in Leicester starts from £500. The final price depends on the size of the roof, how much moss there is and access, and we fix it before we start.
How often does a roof need cleaning in Leicester?
Every two to three years keeps most roofs in Leicester clear, with biocide slowing regrowth in between.
Why do roofs in Leicester get so mossy?
Many older Leicester terraces still have their original Welsh slate, which grows moss in the joints on north-facing rear slopes. Inter-war semis in Knighton and Evington usually have clay or concrete tiles that hold algae along the lower courses.

Will cleaning damage my Leicester roof tiles?
No. We never use high pressure on tiles. Moss is removed by hand and the roof is soft-washed at low pressure, then treated with biocide.

Most houses take a day. Larger or very mossy roofs can take longer, and we'll tell you when we quote.
