What should Wendover homeowners know?
The High Street and Aylesbury Road hold old brick, flint and timber-framed buildings under clay peg tiles, with some thatch. Victorian and Edwardian houses fill the roads near the station, and 1960s–80s estates spread north towards the vale with concrete tiles. The Chilterns setting means wind exposure on the edges.
What goes wrong on Wendover roofs?
Exposure at the foot of the hills. Roofs on the edges of town catch wind coming off the Chilterns, lifting tiles and verges.
Old peg tile roofs. Old roofs in the centre slip as pegs and nails decay.
Estate ridges and verges. 1960s–80s concrete roofs have cracked mortar ridges and verges.
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 Wendover: FAQs
Do you repair thatched roofs?
No, thatch is a specialist trade. We do repair chimneys and leadwork on thatched buildings, and tiled roofs around them.
My roof loses tiles in westerly winds. Why?
Exposure from the hills. Mechanical fixing or a dry verge can stop it.
