What should Harefield homeowners know?
The green and High Street hold brick cottages and older buildings under clay peg and plain tiles, some listed. Victorian and Edwardian houses line the roads into the village, with 1930s semis and post-war estates around them using plain and concrete tiles. Detached homes on the edge of the village are often more exposed.
What goes wrong on Harefield roofs?
Exposure on open ground. Homes on the edge of the village and facing the Colne Valley catch wind that lifts tiles and verges.
Damp from the lakes. Damp valley air speeds moss and rots fascias and eaves.
Old cottage roofs. Peg tile cottages slip as pegs decay, and chimneys lose their lead.
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.

Do you cover Harefield even though it is so rural?
