Moss removal on clay plain tiles
Moss and lichen being lifted from small clay plain tiles near the ridge. Each cleaned row shows the tile colour coming back.
Wigston, including Wigston Magna, South Wigston and Wigston Fields, sits just south of Leicester with the Grand Union Canal running along its western side.
The terraces in South Wigston have a lot of Welsh slate, which grows moss in the joints. The 1950s and 60s homes in Wigston Magna mostly have concrete tiles that hold algae. Every two to three years keeps most roofs in Wigston clear, with biocide slowing regrowth in between.
Slate roofs on South Wigston terraces often have moss along the bottom edge and around chimneys. We clear these areas carefully and note any slipped slates.
We clear moss from the slopes, ridge and around any chimney or vent. A gentle soft-wash cleans the tiles — never high-pressure washing. The gutters are cleared afterwards so the moss doesn't block them.
Our Leicestershire team cleans roofs across Leicestershire. In and around Wigston that includes Wigston Magna, South Wigston, Wigston Fields and Kilby Bridge, as well as Oadby, Glen Parva and Countesthorpe.
