What Loughborough customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Moss and Algae on Loughborough Roofs
Loughborough is the main town of Charnwood, home to Loughborough University and the Carillon war memorial in Queen's Park, with Charnwood Forest rising just to the south-west.
Terraced roofs near the town centre are usually slate, while the 1960s and 70s estates have concrete interlocking tiles that hold thick moss on shaded slopes. Roofs on the forest side of town stay damp for longer and grow moss quickly. If you can see green tufts from the street, a Loughborough roof is usually due a clean.
Moss is heavy on the shaded slopes of homes near the Outwoods and Beacon Hill side of town, and it washes into gutters every winter. Cleaning the roof and gutters in one visit saves a second call-out.
Thick moss is lifted off by hand and bagged up. Pressure washers are never used, because they can lift tiles and force water underneath. Any slipped or cracked tiles we notice are shown in your photos.
