What Scraptoft customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
When a Scraptoft Roof Needs Cleaning
Scraptoft is a village on the eastern edge of Leicester, next to Thurnby and Bushby.
Many newer homes have concrete tiles that grow algae, and the older village roofs are clay or slate. Most Scraptoft roofs need cleaning every 2–3 years, with north-facing slopes showing moss first.
Exposed roofs on the edge of Scraptoft collect algae from the surrounding farmland.
Moss is removed by hand first, so the tiles are never blasted. We finish with a biocide that kills the remaining spores. Any slipped or cracked tiles we notice are shown in your photos.

On a typical Scraptoft home the front slope stays fairly clean while the shaded rear slope grows moss — that's where we usually start.
