Guildford- Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal Services & Inspection Services

icon-plus-green

At The Roof Moss Cleaners, we provide roof cleaning and roof moss removal services for domestic and commercial properties in Guildford.

Roof Cleaning Guildford

166 High St, Guildford GU1 3HR, UK

01483 387213

Our Guildford roof cleaning team knows about the cold and damp weather our town faces throughout the year.

Moss growth requires moist conditions. The cool, damp weather coupled with limited sunshine and an annual average rainfall of 763mm are the perfect conditions for moss to grow on the roofs of Guildford.

Roof Moss is problematic to residential and commercial properties. Excessive roof moss causes gutter blockages, responsible for causing damp inside buildings. Roof Moss will cause clay tiles or natural slates to crack when wet; it freezes and expands throughout winter.

According to the NFRC (The National Federation of Roofing Contractors), Roof moss “needs to be removed if it is blocking gutters, outlets and other drainage points”

Roof cleaning is the solution to your roof moss problems!
Our manual roof cleaning process scrapes roof moss from roofing and guttering. We offer an optional steam clean followed by a biocide application to clean your roof and repel future moss growth for a minimum of 3 years.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed with our roof cleaning and roof moss removal services in Guildford! We serve Guildford and all surrounding areas including Compton, Wonersh, Bramley, Wood Street Village, Normandy, Sutton Green, Jacobs Well, Worplesdon, Fairlands, Shalford, Albury, Chilworth, East Clandon, Burpham, Shere, Gomshall, West Clandon.

Roof Moss Removal & Biocide Treatment

Manual moss removal is our preferred method for cleaning tiled rooftops.

Manual moss removal and biocide treatment is suitable for and works on all types of roofs, except metal commercial rooftops and man made slate roofs.

Biocide is applied after manually scraping moss from the tiles. The biocide kills off the remaining organic life ( moss spores, lichen, algae and biofilm) within 48 hours and gently cleanses the roof over the following 6-12 months.

Roof scraping and treatment comes with a 3 year moss free guarantee for all of our customers in Guildford.

HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF ROOF CLEANING?

The cost of roof cleaning in Guildford is between £795 and £5000, and varies depending on

  • Cleaning method: Steam cleaning is more expensive than a manual scrape and biocide treatment.
  • Access options: The cost of cleaning a roof using a cherry picker is more expensive than cleaning from a mobile access tower or ladders.
  • Roof Tile Type: Older clay tiles are the most expensive to clean because they are the most time consuming roof tile to scrape. Modern clay, concrete tiles and traditional slates are all cheaper to clean than old fragile clay roofs.
  • Roof Size: Larger roofs take longer to clean and cost more to clean than smaller roofs.

Frequently Asked questions

When is the best time of year to have my roof cleaned?
icon-plus icon-minus

There is not a best time of the year to have your roofing cleaned. Roof cleans scheduled in the winter months can occasionally be rescheduled due to bad weather such as Ice, Snow or High Winds. We work in all other weather as we strive to provide a reliable, all year round service.

Are you Licensed waste carriers?
icon-plus icon-minus

Yes. We are licensed by the Environment Agency. Our waste carriers license allows us to legally transport waste removed from roofing to a licenced waste disposal centre.

Do you softwash roofs?
icon-plus icon-minus

No. Softwash is a method of cleaning using Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach). The only chemical we use is Biocide, which is safer than Bleach. Biocide does not produce harmful fumes like Bleach, it is also a lower toxicity.

Does Biocide Treatment Remove Lichin?
icon-plus icon-minus

Yes. Biocide will kill Lichen and all other organisms that it comes into contact with. Lichen is gradually removed from all porous roofing materials through the natural weathering process. There are over 20,000 species of Litchin, some of which can take 2 applications of Biocide (3 years apart) to completely remove.

How Long Does The Treatment Last For?
icon-plus icon-minus

3-5 years. Biocide treatment continues to inhibit the growth of moss for 3 - 5 years following application.

Do you repair roofs?
icon-plus icon-minus

No, we do not provide roofing repairs. We strive to be the most professional, reliable roof cleaning service, for that reason we stick to our speciality. We recommend using TrustaTrader or Checkatrade to find a local roofing contractor for roof repairs.
