07421 433910Why Remove Moss from Your Roof?
Moss on roof tiles is more than a cosmetic issue. Moss roots lift tiles and allow water to penetrate the roof structure. Moss holds moisture against the tile surface, accelerating frost damage and weathering. And moss debris drops into gutters, causing blockages and overflow. Professional roof cleaning removes the moss and treats the surface to prevent rapid regrowth.
- Moss roots can lift and loosen roof tiles over time
- Moisture trapped by moss accelerates tile weathering and cracking
- Moss debris blocks gutters and downpipes, causing overflow
- Algae and lichen growth makes roofs look neglected and dirty
- Biocide treatment prevents rapid regrowth after cleaning
- Soft-wash method avoids the damage caused by pressure washing
Our Roof Cleaning Process
WOW Gutters Ltd follows a careful process to clean your roof safely and effectively. We use a soft-wash system that applies cleaning solution at low pressure — enough to kill moss and algae but not enough to force water under tiles. After treatment the moss dies off naturally and is gently removed.
- Low-pressure biocide application — no risk of driving water under tiles
- Moss, algae, and lichen killed at the root for thorough removal
- Dead debris gently cleared from the roof surface
- Biocide treatment applied to slow regrowth for months
- Gutters cleaned after roof treatment to remove fallen debris
- Before and after photos provided on every roof cleaning job
Signs Your Roof Needs Cleaning
Moss growth becomes visible long before it causes serious problems. If you can see moss patches from ground level, the root systems are already established under the tiles. Roof cleaning at this stage is straightforward — waiting until tiles are loose or lifted means more expensive repairs.
- Visible moss patches on roof slopes, especially north-facing
- Moss debris accumulating in gutters after wind or rain
- Black algae streaks running down tiles from the ridge
- Lichen growth on tiles, ridges, and around chimney stacks
- Green staining on walls below the roof line from runoff
What's Included in Every Roof Clean
Every roof cleaning appointment includes a pre-treatment inspection, soft-wash application, moss removal, biocide treatment, and gutter clearance afterwards. We photograph the roof before and after so you can see the difference.

Roof Cleaning Questions
Find answers to the most common roof cleaning and moss removal questions.
Roof cleaning pricing depends on roof size, pitch, access, and how heavy the moss coverage is. Most residential roof cleans start from around £150–£400. We provide a clear quote after assessing your property.
Yes. We use low-pressure soft wash methods designed for UK roof tiles — not aggressive jet washing that can dislodge tiles or force water under slates. The method is matched to your roof type.
Yes. Moss removal is a core part of our roof cleaning service. We lift moss and algae carefully, rinse the roof, and can apply biocide treatment to help slow regrowth.
Most properties benefit from roof cleaning every 2–3 years. Homes under trees, on north-facing slopes, or with heavy moss may need treatment more often — sometimes annually alongside gutter cleaning.
Yes. This is one of our most recommended combinations. Treating the roof and clearing the gutters in one visit stops moss from refilling the channels soon after a gutter clean.
