Roof Moss Removal
Moss is more than a cosmetic issue. It soaks up rain like a sponge and keeps the tiles wet long after a shower, which speeds up frost damage in winter. As it thickens it pushes under the tile edges and lifts them, and loose growth washes down into the gutters and blocks the outlets.
Our team removes moss by hand with scrapers and brushes, working across the roof so the tile surface is not harmed. High-pressure water can strip the face off older tiles and drive water under the laps, so we leave it out. Homes around Great Missenden and Hazlemere, with mature trees and shaded slopes, often see heavy growth.
After the roof is clear we empty the moss out of the gutters and outlets, then apply a treatment that slows regrowth. If we notice slipped or cracked tiles along the way, we tell you in writing, and you can read how we deal with those on the roof repairs page.

When Moss Becomes a Problem
A little moss is common on north-facing slopes, but heavy growth starts to cause damage. These are the signs to look for.
Thick Green Cushions
Deep clumps of moss sitting between and over the tiles, especially on the shadier side of the roof, are holding water.
Tiles Lifting
Moss that grows up under the tile edges can prise them apart, letting wind-driven rain reach the membrane underneath.
Overflowing Gutters
Moss washed down the roof collects in gutters and outlets, so rain spills over the edge instead of draining away.
Moss on Paths Below
Clumps of moss dropping onto the drive, patio or paths beneath the roof show how much has built up on the slope above.
