What should Ruislip homeowners know?
Around St Martin’s Church and Manor Farm, Ruislip has timber-framed and old brick buildings under clay peg tiles. Ruislip Manor and the roads around the stations were built up in the 1930s with hipped semis in plain clay or early concrete tiles, tile-hung bays and porches. Post-war houses and bungalows fill the edges towards the Lido and woods.
What goes wrong on Ruislip roofs?
1930s roofs reaching the end of their fixings. Ruislip Manor’s interwar roofs often have rusted nails, brittle felt and loose hips all at once.
Bay and porch roofs. Small tiled bay and porch roofs leak at the flashing long before the main roof.
Woodland moss. Roads near Ruislip Woods and the Lido get heavy moss and leaf fall.
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.

Can you fix my leaking bay window roof?
