Roof cleaning and moss removal in Stanmore
Woodland around Stanmore Common shades many roofs, so moss builds up. We clean by hand and soft wash with biocide, never pressure washing.

What should Stanmore homeowners know?
Old Church Lane and Stanmore Hill keep Georgian and Victorian buildings with slate and clay tiles. Large Edwardian and interwar detached homes on Stanmore Hill and around Stanmore Common have steep plain tile roofs and tall chimneys. Interwar semis cover much of the rest, and many larger houses have been rebuilt or extended with flat roofs.
What goes wrong on Stanmore roofs?
Exposure on the hill. Homes high on Stanmore Hill catch the wind, loosening ridges, verges and older plain tiles.
Large flat roofs. Rebuilt and extended houses have big flat roofs that fail at edges and outlets.
Chimney stacks. Tall stacks on Edwardian houses lose flaunching and lead, letting water into chimney breasts.
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
