What Ratby customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Why Ratby Roofs Grow Moss
Ratby is a village west of Leicester, next to Martinshaw Wood and close to the M1.
Being next to woodland keeps Ratby roofs damp, so moss and algae build up on shaded slopes, particularly on concrete tiles. Under heavy tree cover, roofs in Ratby often need cleaning every 2 years rather than 3.
The woodland edge keeps many Ratby roofs shaded in the afternoon, which is where we usually find the thickest moss.
On Ratby roofs we start by clearing the moss from the tiles, ridges and valleys. We finish with a biocide that kills the remaining spores. We tidy up and empty the gutters below before we leave.
