What should Chalfont St Peter homeowners know?

The old village centre has older brick buildings under clay tiles. Around it, interwar and post-war detached houses and bungalows spread across the hillsides, with plain clay and concrete tiles. Many have been extended with loft conversions, dormers and flat-roofed rear additions.

What goes wrong on Chalfont St Peter roofs?

Loft conversion junctions. Dormers added during loft conversions often leak where they meet the original roof.

Concrete tile ridges. Post-war mortar ridges crack and come loose.

Flat roofs on extensions. Felt flat roofs on extensions reach the end of their life around 15 to 20 years.

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.

Questions

Roof cleaning and moss removal in Chalfont St Peter: FAQs

My loft conversion dormer leaks. Can you fix it?

Yes. We trace the leak, usually at the cheeks or flashing, and repair it properly.

Should I replace my extension’s felt roof?

If it is blistering, ponding or leaking, a new EPDM or torch-on roof is usually the lasting fix.
