What should Beaconsfield homeowners know?

The Old Town’s four broad streets are lined with Georgian and earlier buildings under clay tiles and slate, many listed. The New Town, built around the station from the early 1900s, has large Edwardian and interwar detached houses in Arts and Crafts and Tudor revival styles: steep plain-tile roofs, multiple gables, dormers and tall chimneys. Modern rebuilds add large tiled and flat roofs.

What goes wrong on Beaconsfield roofs?

Complex roofs, many valleys. Large New Town houses have many valleys and junctions, which is where water gets in.

Tall chimneys. Tall, ornate stacks need regular repointing, flaunching and leadwork.

Old Town hidden gutters. Georgian parapets hide gutters that block and overflow into walls.

How do we do roof cleaning and moss removal?

We remove moss by hand, soft wash the roof at low pressure and apply an HSE-registered professional biocide, exactly as its label directs. We do not pressure wash tiled or slate roofs. It strips the surface off concrete tiles and brings moss back faster, and on slate it drives water under the laps.

Our process

What you get

  1. 01

    Hand removal

    Moss scraped off by hand, working down the roof without walking on fragile tiles.

  2. 02

    Soft wash

    Low pressure only, so the tile surface and the laps are untouched.

  3. 03

    Biocide

    Kills moss, algae and lichen on contact; the dead growth then weathers away over the following weeks and months.

  4. 04

    Gutters and photos

    Gutters cleared of debris and the roof photographed: any slipped tiles noted.
