What should Pinner homeowners know?
The High Street has timber-framed and Georgian buildings under clay peg tiles, many listed. Metroland brought 1920s–30s semis and detached houses with hipped plain clay tile roofs, bay windows and tile-hung gables. Pinner Hill and the roads off Moss Lane hold larger Arts and Crafts homes with steep tiled roofs and tall chimneys.
What goes wrong on Pinner roofs?
Bay roofs and tile-hung gables. 1930s bays and tile-hung gables lose tiles and leak where the lead meets the brickwork.
Hips and ridges on Metroland semis. Mortar-bedded hips and ridges crack and loosen after ninety years.
Plain tiles slipping. Original nails on 1930s plain tile roofs corrode, and tiles start to slide.
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 Pinner: FAQs
My 1930s bay window leaks. Is it the roof?
Usually the small bay roof or the lead where it meets the wall. We find the exact point and photograph it.
Can I change my roof tiles in a Pinner conservation area?
It depends on the area and any Article 4 direction. Like-for-like repairs are normally fine; we check with Harrow if needed.
