What Shepshed customers say about WOW Gutters Ltd
Moss and Algae on Shepshed Roofs
Shepshed is a large town just west of Loughborough, next to junction 23 of the M1 and on the northern edge of Charnwood Forest.
Many Shepshed estates have concrete interlocking tiles that grow thick moss, and roofs near the forest stay damp long into the spring. Most Shepshed roofs need cleaning every 2–3 years, with north-facing slopes showing moss first.
Homes on the side of town nearest the forest stay shaded for much of the day, so moss forms a thick layer on the back slope.
On Shepshed roofs we start by clearing the moss from the tiles, ridges and valleys. A gentle soft-wash cleans the tiles — never high-pressure washing. We tidy up and empty the gutters below before we leave.

Shepshed Roofs We Clean
Terraced rooflines
Front and rear slopes plus outriggers are treated, with moss bagged and removed.
Concrete tile roofs
Interlocking concrete tiles grow thick moss; hand-scraping and biocide bring them back.
New-build roofs
Even newer Shepshed roofs grow algae within a few years; an early clean stops moss settling.

On a typical Shepshed home the front slope stays fairly clean while the shaded rear slope grows moss — that's where we usually start.
Why do roofs in Shepshed get so mossy?

We clean roofs across Shepshed (LE12) and in Belton, Long Whatton, Charley, Loughborough, Hathern and Whitwick.
Is soft-washing safe for old tiles?
Yes. Low pressure and a biocide clean the tiles without forcing water underneath or loosening old fixings.
What happens to the moss you remove?
It's bagged and taken away, and the gutters are emptied so none of it washes into your drains.
Are you insured for roof work in Shepshed?
Yes — fully insured, with details available before you book.
