What should Bourne End homeowners know?
Riverside roads have Edwardian and interwar villas with plain clay tiles and decorative gables. Chalets, bungalows and post-war houses fill much of the village with concrete tiles, and many have been extended with dormers and flat roofs. The river setting brings damp air and mature trees.
What goes wrong on Bourne End roofs?
River damp. Damp Thames-side air speeds moss growth and rot at eaves and fascias.
Chalet and dormer junctions. Chalets and extended bungalows have many small roofs and junctions that leak.
Flat roofs on extensions. Felt flat roofs reach end of life and leak at edges.
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
- 01
Hand removal
Moss scraped off by hand, working down the roof without walking on fragile tiles.
- 02
Soft wash
Low pressure only, so the tile surface and the laps are untouched.
- 03
Biocide
Kills moss, algae and lichen on contact; the dead growth then weathers away over the following weeks and months.
- 04
Gutters and photos
Gutters cleared of debris and the roof photographed: any slipped tiles noted.
Questions
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Bourne End: FAQs
Is moss worse in Bourne End?
Often, yes, because of the damp river setting. Biocide treatment after cleaning slows regrowth.
My fascias are rotting. Can you replace them?
Yes. We replace rotten fascias rather than capping over them, and check the eaves felt behind.
