Market Harborough is a historic market town on the River Welland, known for its 1614 Old Grammar School standing on wooden pillars in the town centre.
Period homes here often have Welsh slate or handmade clay tiles, which need a gentle, low-pressure approach. Newer estates have concrete tiles that hold algae on shaded rear slopes. Where trees overhang, Market Harborough roofs rarely dry out fully between showers, so moss spreads quickly.
Listed buildings and the conservation area mean roofs here must be treated with care. We never walk on old slate or clay, and we use only low pressure and biocide.
Moss is removed by hand first, so the tiles are never blasted. Low-pressure washing removes algae without cracking tiles or washing out mortar. The gutters are cleared afterwards so the moss doesn't block them.
From Little Bowden to Kibworth Harcourt, we clean roofs right across Market Harborough and Leicestershire, including Great Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton, Kibworth Beauchamp and Great Glen.
From £500 for roof cleaning in Market Harborough. We look at the size of the roof, how much moss there is and how easy it is to reach, then fix the price. Fixed price confirmed before we arrive — no call-out fee and no hidden charges on the day.
